Easy repair
We were not sure it was going to be this valve. Our ice maker had flooded our kitchen and damaged our hardwood floors. Reading other people’s input online convinced us to risk buying the part. It took my husband about 10 minutes to replace this part and our ice maker is working again and not flooding. It took about a week for the part to arrive, and it was in good shape. Thank you Part Select, I love it that you are Canadian!

Inlet valve broken from freezing in Storage
Simply remove 5 or 6 self tapping screws to lower the cardboard backing with a 5/16 nut driver. Loosen two screws that hold the valve to the metal lip low on the back. Push 3 easy-connect fittings towards the valve while pulling the poly tube out at the same time. Replace the tubes by simply pushing into the fitting. I did these one at a time so I wouldn't get them mixed up. Fasten the valve back onto the metal lip, and screw the cardboard back on. Move the Fridge back and the job was all done~!

Leaky Inlet Valve and Ice Maker failing to make Ice
1). Pull Frig away from wall,
2). Unplug Frig
3). Turn off water feed
4). Remove cardboard dust shield on lower back
of frig (1/4" screws. I used socket)
5.) Valve visible attached with two1/4" screws to
Frig frame. (Remove two screws)Tip it is a good idea to hand tighten the two srews back into their original holes. This marks their placement for mounting the NEW valve later.
6.) Inlet Valve has three water lines attached to it
and two electrical clip-on wires.
7.) Stop work and take a picture of the Valve,
which clearly shows color coded clip-on wires
and hose connection ports.
8.) Take a break and study the photo next to
the NEW valve in order to insure an OEM
match.
9.). Note: Lines push directly into ports and then you need to pull them toward you, as though you were pulling them back out of the port. This will seat and seal the water lines with a tight fit.
Tip: Cut the old line about 2-3 inches away from the old valve and check that your cut is clean, before putting it in the portal of the replacement valve. Note: You only get it right the first time, so double check your cut is square with clean edges.
Look at the lines pointed straight at you to insure the plastic hose is still round. If it is oval or slightly creased at the edges, cut the hose with a razor blade or very sharp knife until it looks good and shove in fully, until it hits bottom, inside the NEW valve. Give a firm short pull and you will feel the hose seat almost immediately.
10.) Repeat the process with all three hoses
and take another short break. Look at your
photo to guide your color matching with the
Clip-on electrical connectors.
11.) Now remove the Clip-on electrical
connectors one at a time and place on the
NEW valve.
12.) Turn on the water feed line and check for
leaks. If NO leaking is detected, congratulate
yourself, and use two 1/4" screws to mount
the NEW valve to the frig frame. The two
screws you left hand tight in the frame, show
the way.
13.). Plug in the Frig. let everything settle in for 10
minutes, while you have a break for a small
bite/drink, use the bathroom, etc.
14.) Okay time to push the frig back against the
wall. Do you want to place the old dust
shield on the back of the frig? If you are
unsatisfied with the condition of the old one,
you might consider replacing it.
15.) My wife is good at crafts, so she chose to
use the old one as a template and made a
new cover out of material she had to buy.
16.). I should tell you that I had to do this job twice, because I bought a cheap valve online that looked exactly like what I needed. It failed to work with the ice maker and after three months, it started to leak. Once again I learned "you get what you pay for."
I hope this helps one or two people get it right on their first attempt.
Good Luck, Larry

How do you remove and re-connect the water lines that are connected to the water solenoid valves.
For model number GR2FHTXVBOO
Hello Mike, thank you for your question. This is a quick connect valve so you would depress the couplings around each water line and pull the line out. To reinsert the water line, simply insert the tube into the port and it will grab and seal. I hope this helps!

We have water in the door but the watwr to the icemaker isn't working. The icemaker runs but is not recieving water. Which part do i need to replace?
For model number 10674252400
Hi John,
Thank you for your question. The issue is likely the water inlet valve. If a component in the water inlet valve has failed or if there is insufficient pressure, it will not allow water to flow through and the ice maker will not make ice. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My icemaker was filling with water and began running over and wouldn't stop. What do you think is the problem?
For model number G2IXEFMWSO1
Hi John,
Thank you for your inquiry. You may have to check the water lines going from the water inlet valve to the ice maker, the water inlet valve and the ice maker to see which part is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

For model number GR2FHTXTB00
Hi Tony,
Thank you for your question. If water is leaking from the water inlet valve, then you will need to replace it as a component in the valve as failed. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

The water dispenser inside the fridge drips constantly. Stuck a rubber plug in he tube to temp stop the leak but pressure blew it back out. Thanks
For model number G2IXEFMWB01
Hello Rocky, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: water inlet valve, the water filter and water tubes. Also check your water pressure as it only requires 20 psi to run the water inlet valve. Hope this helps!

Part is leaking water on dispenser side when in use can it be cleaned or tightened and water lines put back in or just replace it with new if so do water lines just push back in to valve thanks
For model number G2IXEFMWQO1
Hi Dean, if you are going to tighten and clean the unit I would recommend a train technician to do so.This is a quick connect valve so you would depress the couplings around each water line and pull the line out. To reinsert the water line, simply insert the tube into the port and it will grab and seal. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

The ice maker seems to overfill, leaking into the ice bin forming a large chunk of ice. Leakage stops when the bale is in the up off position. Motor works okay. Does the solenoid need replacing?
For model number KTRC22EMBT05
Hi Keith,
Thank you for your question. If the ice maker is leaking, you will need to check the water inlet valve, the ice maker, the water filter and the water tubes between the water inlet valve and the ice maker. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

The ice container filled with water and not ice cubes?
Thanks,
For model number G2IXEFMWQ02
Hi Anthony, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our research, the issue is most probably with the ice maker thermostat, part number PS11743313. We would recommend replacing it to solve the problem. Glad to be of help!
