W10408179 Whirlpool Water Inlet Valve

The Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve, an essential component for Whirlpool refrigerators, controls the water flow to the ice maker and water dispenser. The manufacturer has updated this valve, and it no longer comes with a removable pre-filter bracket connector.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with several brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

When the inlet valve malfunctions, you may notice several issues:
- The ice maker or water dispenser might not function correctly.
- Water could leak or spray from the connection points of the supply line.
- The water pressure during dispensing might be inconsistent.

These problems often stem from mineral deposits accumulating over time, which can obstruct the flow, or issues with the valve’s motor that affect its operation.

This replacement valve also works with other brands such as Maytag, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air, ensuring broad compatibility and utility.
