WPW10349187 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (WPW10349187) is a genuine part manufactured by Whirlpool, designed for use in their range of refrigerators. This component, sometimes referred to as the solenoid-operated valve, is integral to the operation of your appliance's ice maker and water dispenser.

The function of this valve is to control the flow of water from your home's supply line into your refrigerator. When the ice maker or dispenser is activated, the valve opens electronically, allowing water to flow in. To prevent flooding, the valve remains closed when not in operation. Additionally, this part features built-in filters to protect it from debris and scaling.

If your refrigerator's ice maker or water dispenser is malfunctioning, it may be due to a leaking or stuck water inlet valve. Symptoms of a failing valve can include a lack of ice production, water not dispensing, or water leakage from the refrigerator. In such cases, it may be necessary to replace the valve.

Before purchasing this part, it is recommended to verify your refrigerator's model number for compatibility with the Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (WPW10349187). This will ensure the correct fit and proper function of the part within your appliance.
