water leak from valve
23 of 47 people found this instruction helpful.
  • MILTON from MARIETTA, GA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Socket set, Wrench set
The hardest part was moving the side-by-side refigerator out from the wall. After accessing the back of the unit ,it was a matter of removing a few screws to remove the back plate. The valve was attached with one screw that held it to the unit. After disconnecting the electrical and water lines the valve was out. Replaced the new valve in reverse order. Everything works great.

Water on door quit working

  • William from Coppell, TX
  • Easy

  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
After changing the water filter to eliminate that, I did some research and determined it was probably a water valve. As this unit has a primary and secondary, and the secondary feeds the door (after receiving water from the primary) I mistakenly replaced the secondary. It was the primary water valve which was trickling enough water to keep the icemaker happy but not enough to drive the water on the door. In the future, I will do a test with a spare piece of water line which I ultimately did to figure this one out.

Valve wasn't closing completely, replaced ALL valves I'm already in there). Got a pair of valves as spares too. Motherboard went AWOL...as a computer engineer it was a simple diagnosis....replace ..the broken Auger?....that was user error...Housekeeper put an ice pack in the ice drawer...you can just imagine the consequences. How easy was it?.....SO easy little hint....don't bother to wrestle the hoses off the valves...just cut them flush with the valve body....there's plenty of hose to spare. If you're a younger person you can do it in 15 mins

Hello Craig, thank you for your email. It sounds like it may be an issue with the dispenser control board. If this becomes faulty it can cause issues such as no water, no ice, or both. Hope this helps!

Water dispenser works, but leaks a little water after usage or after filter is attached, will the water inlet valve fix that problem?

Nancy - For model number JB870DT1BB

I ordered part #ps10059162, temperature sensore, on 1/8 and got it and was put on stove on 1/13, when son could do it. The stove works, but not like it should. The stove starts heating but stops about halfway thru the cycle. Ex: Set it for 400* and it will stop heating at approx. 275*. You can turn oven off, restart the heat cycle and it will work. I really need this bottom oven to be more reliable so hoping you can tell me if there is another part i might possibly need. Thank you, nancy
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Nancy, Thank you for your question. It sort of sounds like you may also have an issue with your temperature sensor inside of your appliance. I would suggest testing that part with a multi meter to make sure that it is working correctly. It sounds like it is just not reading the temperatures correctly. Good luck with your repair.

Dennis - For model number 11082405140
January 16, 2018
My washer would not go into a spin after draining the water the pump would remain running without spinning. I wanted to test the lid switch, so i put a jumper on it , the washer will now spin but for only one cycle, if i remove the jumper and install it again the washer will start spinning. I must keep doing this to complete the wash cycle. Please help.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Dennis, Thank you for your question. Based on what you described, it sounds like the lid switch is the issue and it needs to be replaced. You should also check the direct drive motor coupling, the clutch assembly and the direct drive water pump. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Whenever our ice maker fills, the water dispenser runs, overfilling the tray on the door and running to the floor. This occurs at any time of day or night.Our ice maker is also not filling completely, only the first half on the refrigerator side filling and making ice. These 2 may be related. I am most concerned about the water dispenser just running by itself but i should address the ice issue too. Thanks.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Wayne, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: water inlet valve, ice maker switch, dispenser switch, dispenser control board, door switches and water tubes. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

Thanks for that quick answer. Is there any way of pin pointing which part is causing this problem rather than suspecting parts ,replacing it and then not solving the problem go after other parts those have direct link with each other, to the problem? Or is it that leave this problem to the pros who are equipped with the gadgets that spell out who is the culprit that causes the problem?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Rajendra, Thank you for your question. the only way to see which part is causing the issue is to inspect each one. For any electronic parts you will need to use a multimeter to check the continuity of them. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
