W11524655 Whirlpool Water Inlet Valve and Float

The Water Inlet Valve and Float is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part tailored for use in Whirlpool refrigerators. This essential component ensures the smooth flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker during the fill cycles. Whirlpool, a well-known appliance brand, encompasses several other brands including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products.

Factors that typically lead to the malfunctioning of the water inlet valve and float include the accumulation of minerals which can impede the valve's function, aging O-rings or seals that may wear out, and internal damage that can hinder the valve's ability to open and close effectively.

When the water inlet valve and float are not working correctly, several issues may arise such as:
- The ice maker failing to fill with water or produce ice.
- Water leakage or dripping underneath the refrigerator.
- Noticeable noise issues like water hammering or unusually rapid water flow.

This OEM part is also designed to be compatible with various models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and certain Kenmore refrigerators.
