Whirlpool WPW10498976 Genuine OEM French Door Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

The French Door Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve allows water to enter the refrigerator's water dispenser and ice maker. If one of the solenoids in the original unit is faulty, it will prevent water from flowing into the ice maker and dispenser. If the ice maker in your appliance stops producing ice, if no water flows from the dispenser, if it constantly dispenses water, or if you notice water pooling at the bottom of the fresh food compartment, the water inlet valve may be malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. When replacing the water inlet valve, consider using our high-quality and easy-to-install replacement part. Installing this part will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the refrigerator, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the refrigerator's water supply before starting the installation. Helpful Tip: We do not recommend disassembling your appliance's current water inlet valve for cleaning due to the risk of post-repair failure.
