WP12956105 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (WP12956105) is a genuine part for your appliance and precisely controls the flow from the supply line into your refrigerator for the ice maker and water dispenser. It's compatible with Whirlpool and KitchenAid brands. The valve, operated by a solenoid, opens electronically to allow water flow when the ice maker or dispenser activate, and remains closed at other times to prevent flooding. Filters within the valve protect it from debris and scaling. Common symptoms indicating this valve may be failing include leaking or a valve that is stuck, resulting in either no water flow to the dispenser and ice maker or unwanted continuous water flow. Replacing a malfunctioning water inlet valve can resolve these issues. Always verify your device's model number to ensure this is the correct part for your appliance before purchasing.
