WPW10394076 Whirlpool Refrigerator Primary Water Inlet Valve

Refrigerator Primary Water Inlet Valve

This component is essential for preventing leaks in your refrigerator. It is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators, which include brands like Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

The Water Inlet Valve is key to supplying water to the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. It regulates the flow of water into the appliance, ensuring you have fresh ice and cold water available.

Signs of a faulty Water Inlet Valve include:

- The ice maker not producing ice or making small or misshapen ice cubes.
- No water being dispensed, or the dispenser working slowly.
- Water leaking from the valve area, suggesting a crack or malfunction.

Common causes of valve failure include mineral build-up from hard water, which can obstruct flow or cause the valve to stick; general wear and tear over time; and electrical issues that prevent the valve from operating correctly.

This OEM part is compatible with models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
