FAQs

This valve controls water flow to the refrigerator’s water dispenser and ice maker. The assembly opens and closes the household water supply whenever the refrigerator calls for water. This assembly includes the valve, tubing, and a coupling. If your refrigerator uses a separate pre-filter bracket connector, that piece must be purchased separately if required by your specific model.
This valve is compatible with select refrigerators from Kenmore, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, IKEA, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper. Compatibility depends on the full model number rather than just the brand, so please verify your refrigerator model and existing valve part number before ordering.
This valve replaces and cross-references with the following part numbers: W10408179, WPW10179146, W10155357, W10179146, WPW10179146VP, 1938614, 2186486, W10408179VP, IMV708, 2188746, 2315534, 2304757, 2205762, 2188708, 4389177, 1546655, and 2188622.
Typical symptoms include no water at the dispenser, no ice production, slow ice maker fill, weak water flow, leaking from the rear valve area, or a valve that hums but does not pass water. In some cases, the ice maker may produce very small cubes or the fill tube may freeze because the valve is not opening or closing properly.
For many refrigerators, this is a moderate repair that takes about 20 to 45 minutes. Typical tools required include a screwdriver, an adjustable wrench or open-end wrench for the water line fitting, and possibly pliers. Always unplug the refrigerator and shut off the household water supply before beginning. After installation, restore water slowly and check all connections carefully for leaks.
Before replacing the valve, verify that the refrigerator is receiving water from the house supply, the shutoff valve is fully open, the water filter is not clogged, and the supply line is not kinked or frozen. Additionally, inspect the dispenser line and ice maker fill tube for ice blockages. If the valve is leaking, electrically open but not flowing, or failing to seal shut, replacement is the recommended fix.
