The water inlet valve is an electric solenoid valve that controls water to the ice maker and dispenser. Failures cause no ice, no water, leaks or a valve that won't shut off. Las Vegas hard water and sediment shorten valve life.
What It Does
The valve is usually located in the mechanical compartment or at the back of the unit, where the household water line connects.
Symptoms of Failure
- No ice or water
- Water leaking at the valve
- Ice maker overfilling
- Loud buzzing during fill
Why It Fails
- Sediment and scale
- Coil failure
- Cracked body
