Part working
The dual water valve worked but when you test, be sure to run the water and the ice to be sure the output push connects are in and not leaking. I tested the main input and there were no leaks. On a whim I took a glass of water. The water output from the valve leaked. Easy fix but those kinds of connections make me nervous.

Easy and fits perfectly.
The water valve was in its original packaging and arrived in perfect condition. It arrived on time as promised.
The old valve was simple to remove. You need to cut the water lines at the old valve so make sure you make a square cut on the plastic pipes. They just push onto the new valve. Replace the two electrical connectors and it's ready to go in.
I'll definitely buy from PartsSelect when I need anything they carry.

Bad water leak traced to this valve body
Self-explanatory, except that water pipes are removed from the valve body by pushing each fitting in towards the valve body, and simultaneously pulling on the pipe. 2 of the pipes came out easily, the 3rd was harder to get a good grip on. I ended up sawing through the plastic valve body to free the pipe and fitting, and improve my access

Water dispenser leaking
Unplugged refrigerator, shut off water supply to unit. Used a 1/4 inch but driver to remove screws holding water valve panel and hose clamps to back of unit.

I had two problems
one was the refrig wasn't holding temperature properly, sometimes too cold, sometimes too warm. Also the cold water dispenser didn't work at all. First, IMPORTANT! Check to see if there are different parts for your 'series' of model. I made the mistake of missing this and received the wrong parts the first time as Parts Select doesn't hig
... Read morehlight this! It would be nice if their website checked to see if different parts are available for your model and ask if you checked this important fact. They were very good to replace the wrong part with the right one and refund the amount of the returned part. On my model, the first two digits of the serial number denotes the series number, which means you may need a 'series' specific model part. After getting the correct parts, replacing the damper control solved the temperature control issues and the refrige is actually quieter now (It used to make sounds as the damper opened or closed). My unit used a 'series 10' version and there was no need to purchase the harness, as I just used the old one. Replacing the dual water valve solved the issue with my water dispenser not working. I'm good with hand tools so both of these were easy for me using just basic tools.
Very simple repair. The hardest part was getting the Refrigerator out of its cubby hole. Once that was done and all the lint vacuumed up the repair was as the video instructed. Saved several hundred dollars by doing the repair myself.

Ice maker no longer functions
Looked up on I thought - popular mechanics website for how to repair. The valve is a dual function filter and pump. I used on ohm meter to check the pump after I removed the cover on the back and disconnected the electrical. Found no ohms. Pop. Mechanics recommended I replace the valve. Parts select was easy to order, and arrived quickly.
... Read more After 1/2 hour, it works great. I realized the hard water we have in the burbs of Chicago plugged the filter. The pump struggled until it burned out. Thanks guys.

Back pressure was making internal water dispenser drip
While trying to fix this problem, I spent around $100.00 on a new ice maker (not the problem), $250.00 for a professional to try to fix the problem, and another $60.00 on the dual water valve (not the problem). At the end of the day the problem turned out to be the 10" water line coming into the freezer was freezing solid. I would previou
... Read moresly use a hair drier to heat the line and remove a 4" cylinder of ice from the line which I thought was clearing it, but in reality the line needs to be pulled out of the back of the refrigerator so you can just rest it in a bowl of hot water to remove the ice. I spent a good amount of money on this job and have learned to fix everything myself moving forward. The install of the water valve was simple and required just pulling the lines out of the old valve and pushing them into the new valve. Be sure to have a bowl to allow the lines to drain into, and turn off the water supply to the fridge. By the way no amount of googling my problem yielded advice on pulling the water line out the back of the fridge to remove the ice : (

How does this part attach to my refrigerator and do I need a different plate for it to fit. And what would the cost of a new plate.
For model number MFC2061HEB
Hi Kenneth,
Thank you for the question. You can reuse the plate you have with the new valve. First you need to remove the main water hose from the appliance, next remove black cover on the bottom of the fridge (about 5 screws) so you can disconnect the hoses going into the valve.Push in on the plastic fastener (blue & white) while you pulling on the hose. Do this for each of the hoses. Next disconnect the wires from the valve and unscrew the valve from the back plate. Replace with new valve which comes with brand new fasteners for the hoses and reverse the steps to install the new valve.
Good luck with the repair !

Water to ice maker does not shut completely off drip ing water freeze up freezer
For model number MSD2351HEB
Hello George, thank you for your question. If the water is still coming into the icemaker when it isn't supposed to I would recommend replacing the water vave, as it is not closing off completely, and allowing water to continue into the unit. I hope this helps!

Replaced the water valve hoping it would fix the slow water dispenser and hollow ice cubes. Didn’t solve the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
For model number MZD2665HES
Hi Greg,
Thank you for your question. If the water from your dispenser is dispensing slowly and you have hollow ice cubes, the issue is likely a clogged water filter and it will need to be replaced. If you have replaced the water filter and you still have hollow ice cubes and the water is dispensing slowly, you will need to flush the filter a couple of times to allow it work correctly. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi. I’m getting just a trickle of water from my dispenser and no ice. I can hear the pump. How do i know if i need to replace the dual water inlet or the water filter head assembly? Thanks
For model number JFC2290VEM8
Hi David, thank you for your question. There are two parts that you should check for this issue. The first part to test would be your water inlet valve. The valve can be tested with a multi meter and should be reading between 500 - 1500 ohms of resistance. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello,
No water is making it into the ice maker. I changed the dual valve. Still no water going into the ice maker. Does the ice maker tell the dual valve to let water in?
For model number KBFA20ERSS
Hello Ban, thank you for your question. According to our research, at the beginning of the cycle, an electrical signal is sent to a water valve from icemaker to fill the ice mold with water. Firstly, you may need to check the clogging in water tubes. If this is not the issue, then you may need to replace the ice maker assembly, part number PS2121513, to fix the issue. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
My ice maker froze over and broke the white plastic piece that held the stop arm on. I ordered and replaced that piece. Then the ice maker wouldn't stop running water, so I replaced the water valve (which did register as defective when we tested it). Now it makes ice when I have things stored in the ice tray, but not when the tray is empty, whenever it feels like it, sometimes just one batch for days, sometimes many batches, and sometimes the water runs and freezes everything into a solid block of ice. And the stop bar won't stay in. At this point, I think I just need to order the entire ice maker. Thoughts?
For model number JFC2089HES
Hello Christine, Thank you for the question. This does sound like the Ice Maker could have been damaged as well and needs to be replaced. We hope this helps!
I have installed a new icemaker unit and filter, but icemaker is not working. No water is making it into the icemaker. The water dispenser is working, and the door makes a clicking sound when I push the door switch. I suspect that it may be this dual inlet valve as the last filter was clogged and full of rusty water. The water is very hard here. I question the dual valve being the problem as the water dispenser is flowing good.
For model number LSD2615HEW
Hello Todd, thank you for your question. We have researched the model you have provided, and we would suggest the Dual Water Inlet Valve, part number PS11743618. It could just be that one side is clogged. If you need help placing an order, our customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
