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.

Hello Kevin, thank you for your question, there are a few reasons your ice maker could stop making ice. First, we suggest checking the bail arm is the down position, then check your water line to see if its frozen. Make sure that the filter is in place, and if it has not been changed in more than six months, replace it with a new one. If the lines are not frozen and the filter is new it could be your water inlet valve, part number: PS11755667. We hope this helps! 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!

Hi Donald, thank you for your question. We recommend checking the ice maker arm. A broken, damaged or detached arm could be the reason behind too much ice being made nonstop. To test the arm, manually lift it up until it locks into position. Turn the freezer back on and see if ice is being made. If so, the problem is likely with the control module, not the arm. We hope this information helps!

Hello Doland, thank you for getting in touch. According to our research, your model does not come with a water filter. Glad to be of help!
