WPW10420083 Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve
The French Door Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve allows water to enter the refrigerator’s water dispenser and ice maker. If one of the solenoids in the original unit is bad, it will prevent water from flowing into the ice maker and dispenser. If the icemaker of your appliance stops making ice, no water flows from the dispenser or it flows constantly, or if you notice water at the bottom of the fresh food compartment, the water inlet valve could be malfunctioning and need to be replaced. Installing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the refrigerator and novice repair experience. You must unplug the refrigerator or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Also turn off the refrigerator’s water supply before you begin. Helpful Tip: We do not recommend disassembling your appliance’s current water inlet valve to clean it due to the risk of failure after the repair.

Replacing the Whirlpool WPW10420083 Water Valve
1. Shut off the water supply to the appliance. Locate the inlet valve and turn it counterclockwise until it is fully closed.
2. Disconnect the inlet hose from the water valve. Loosen the clamp that holds the hose onto the water valve, then slide the hose off.
3. Remove the screws holding the valve in place. Carefully remove the valve and discard it.
4. Install the new valve. Make sure the O-ring is in its groove and not twisted or bent.
5. Connect the inlet hose to the new valve. Tighten the clamp securely.
6. Turn the shutoff valve clockwise to open the water supply. Test the new valve by running the appliance for a few minutes. If the water flow is normal, you have successfully replaced the water valve.
Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
