W11645245 Whirlpool Refrigerator Dual Water Inlet Valve

The Refrigerator Dual Water Inlet Valve is an essential component manufactured by Whirlpool, compatible with several brands including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. This OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part also serves Whirlpool appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brands. Positioned at the back of the refrigerator, this valve controls the flow of water to key features such as the ice maker and water dispenser.

Common issues with the dual water valve may arise from mineral deposits that accumulate over time, disrupting its function, or from malfunctions in the electronic control board.

When the dual water valve is not functioning properly, you might notice several indicators:
- The water dispenser on the refrigerator door may stop working.
- The ice maker may malfunction or stop producing ice altogether.
- There may be leaks around the valve area.
- You might hear electronic buzzing or humming sounds.

This part is also designed to fit certain models from Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore refrigerators, ensuring a proper fit and optimal performance. Efficient water flow is crucial for the uninterrupted operation of dispensing features and ice production.
