Whirlpool 61005626 Genuine OEM SxS Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve Assembly

The SxS Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve allows water to enter the refrigerator’s water dispenser and ice maker. The package includes the new inlet water valve, instructions, ¼" tubing and a plastic ¼" coupler. If water isn't entering the ice maker and dispenser in your appliance, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. The new part's wire connections are located on the back of the unit and the valve includes a "push to lock" fitting that doesn't require a nut to attach the tubing. You'll have to remove the old style compression fittings around the water line and trim, then push the water line directly into the valve where it will lock into place. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as multi screwdriver, 4" wrench, standard pliers and nut driver, partial dismantling of the appliance, and novice repair experience. To ensure safety, remember to unplug the appliance or turn off the house circuit breaker for the appliance prior to installing this high-quality and easy-to-install replacement part.
