WR57X30890 General Electric Water Inlet Valve for Refrigerators

Water Inlet Valve for Refrigerators

This OEM part, known as the Isolation Valve and Jumper Kit, is compatible with various GE brands including Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and select Sears-Kenmore models. It is specifically designed for use in GE side-by-side refrigerators. The kit features an isolation valve, which allows for the independent control of water flow to the refrigerator's icemaker, and a jumper that can be used to bypass the valve when it is closed.

Indications that you may need to replace the isolation valve include:

- Difficulty in shutting off water supply to the icemaker independently
- Presence of water leaks within the refrigerator
- Damage to plumbing connections, which could be due to loose or corroded valves

The need for a new isolation valve often arises from issues like mineral deposits blocking the valve from closing completely, or wear and tear on sealed components after prolonged use.

Additionally, this part is suitable for use with certain Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE side-by-side refrigerator models.
