This access valve is an authentic manufacturer parts kit used in appliances with a refrigerant such as the refrigerator and air conditioner. This kit includes a valve body, valve core and a valve cap. The body and cap are made of brass while the core is made from steel. If you notice that your appliance is leaking, not cooling adequately and the valve components are corroded, you should replace the access valve. As part of your general maintenance, you should also replace the valve if your appliance is more than 10 years old and the valve has never been changed. Use a valve wrench to remove the valve cap and use a core removal tool to pull out the core. Install the new valve body, core and cap and ensure they are securely fitted. Note that these parts are sold together.

Hi. I need to replace the valve on the back of the refrigerator that controls the water dispenser inside the refrigerator. We have diagnosed the problem (when you hold a cup up to the dispenser the water will start flowing and won’t shut off when the cup is removed from pressing on the dispenser = flooding) that the valve needs to be replaced but i’m not sure if this is the correct part based on the description. Any idea of this would be the correct part?Thank you!
For model number KFCS22EVMS4
