W11312191 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (W11312191) is a genuine part, compatible with Maytag and Whirlpool refrigerators. It controls the flow from the supply line into your refrigerator for the ice maker and dispenser. This solenoid-operated valve opens electronically to allow water to flow when your ice maker or dispenser activates, and remains closed otherwise to prevent flooding. Filters within the valve protect it from debris and scaling. Symptoms of a malfunctioning water inlet valve include leaking or the inability to dispense water or produce ice, indicating it may need replacement. We advise checking your refrigerator's model number for compatibility before making your purchase.
