W11482383 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (W11482383) is a genuine part for your Whirlpool refrigerator, ensuring compatibility and smooth operation. This part controls the flow from the supply line into your refrigerator for the ice maker and dispenser. When activated, the solenoid-operated valve opens electronically to permit water flow, and it remains closed otherwise to prevent flooding. The valve incorporates filters to protect itself from debris and scaling, ensuring a steady and controlled water supply. It's also known as a solenoid valve. Symptoms that may indicate the valve is failing include leaking or the valve remaining stuck in either the open or closed position. In such cases, replacement is necessary to maintain the proper operation of your ice maker and water dispenser. Before purchasing, verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with this essential component.
