Water Valve WR57X10070

Hi Dennis, Thank you for your inquiry. There should be be 2 outlets on this water inlet valve. One for the ice maker and one for the dispenser on the refrigerator door. There should be one inlet which is under a rubber cap when you first get it that will allow the water to come into the refrigerator. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Vincent, thank you for your question. The issue might be with the water valve itself. You can test this unit with a multimeter. It is possible that the valve port to the icemaker is working and not the dispenser port. I would also advise checking Dispenser Door Solenoid Assembly Part Number: WR62X10055 as well as the micro switch in the dispenser area which is Micro Switch Part Number: WR23X10783. Both of these parts are able to be tested with a multimeter as well! I hope this helps!

Hi Michael. Thank you for the question. yes I would agree the Water Solenoid is defective and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Hi Edwin, thank you for reaching out. Yes, the water inlet valve can be the culprit. The faint clicking sound you hear when you engage the paddle is the water inlet valve, part number PS1483564, attempting to open. This part can become clogged or fail, causing intermittent or no water flow. Replacing it would resolve the issue. We hope this helps.

Hi Edwin, thank you for getting in touch. You will need to use needle-nose pliers to remove the stubborn connectors, as some terminals fit very tightly and won’t come off by hand. All connectors must be removed to properly test and replace the water inlet valve, since each solenoid coil needs to be fully disconnected for an accurate reading and for the valve to be taken out. We have attached an installation video to help you with removing the connectors. We hope this helps.

Hi Stephen, Thank you for your question. It could, I would suggest testing the valve with a multi meter to be sure. However you may also want to check your dispenser door solenoid as well. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Ben, Thank you for your question. If the replace filter light is on the GE website advises, "After you change the filter the RESET WATER FILTER must be pressed and held until the red light goes off. On some models the light goes out, and others will turn green; either is considered normal. If you do not hold the pad in, the red light will stay on. Also, if you hold the pad in for a long period of time, the light will go off and then come back on. If this does not turn the red light off, having it checked by a service technician is recommended." If there is no water being dispensed, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which ones are causing the issue. You will need to check the dispenser door solenoid, the micro switch and the dispenser door assembly/flapper. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Jack, Thank you for the question. The first thing to replace would be the water valve. The valve has two sides, one for the dispenser and the other for the ice maker. If the valve didn't fix the issue, the ice maker will need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Hello Carlos, Thanks for your question. You will need a multimeter to test the part for electrical continuity. Examine it visually as well for any signs of damage. You may also want to consider replacing the water filter if you have not done so within the last 6 months. I hope this helps.
