Use this guide to replace the inlet valve assembly in your Whirlpool Refrigerator.
The inlet valve assembly is an electrically-controlled mechanical valve that opens to supply water to the dispenser and icemaker. If your refrigerator isn't making ice or dispensing water properly, your inlet valve assembly might be broken.
This guide will work for most Whirlpool refrigerators. This guide is written with a model WRS315SDHW refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
Note: Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.
