Use this guide to replace the water inlet valve assembly on your LG refrigerator
This guide will work for most LG refrigerators. This guide is written with an LG model LFX25973 refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
The water inlet valve assembly controls the flow of water to the dispenser and also to the ice makers.
If it fails, you may experience the following:
- Leaking and puddles on the floor near the refrigerator
- Water freezing on the bottom of your freezer
- Ice in your in-door dispenser freezing up and not dispensing
- No ice produced, or no water dispensed if the valve refuses to open at all
