Water Inlet Valve WPW10498976

Hi Sandra, Thank you for your question. If you have water leaking into the ice maker, a component in the water inlet valve may have failed. You will need to inspect the water inlet valve visually and you will also need to test it with a multi-meter. Before you begin any repair, unplug your refrigerator and disconnect the water supply to your refrigerator. Locate your water inlet valve. It is usually on the rear of the refrigerator, near the bottom. You will need to remove the rear panel to access it. Inspect the valve inlet supply connections for leaks and tighten or replace the connectors. You should also inspect the valve body for any cracks or damage. Check the outlet tubing for cracks or abrasions that may also create a leak and replace any cracked or brittle tubing and connectors. If none of the above appear to be the cause of the leak, remove the water inlet valve from the unit. Using a multi-meter on the Rx1 setting, test your valve for continuity by placing the probes on the valve’s terminals. You should receive a reading of 200 to 500 ohms. If you receive any other reading, you need a replacement water inlet valve. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.
