Restore reliable water flow to your refrigerator’s ice maker with this W10279909 Water Inlet Solenoid Valve. Designed as a replacement for multiple Whirlpool-family refrigerator part numbers, this single-coil valve features a 5/16-inch (8mm) quick-connect water inlet, 2-pin electrical connection, and 120V operation.

• Verify Fit Before Ordering: This replacement valve uses a 5/16-inch (8mm) push-in quick-connect fitting for the water line. Please verify that your refrigerator's water supply tube and original valve connection match before purchasing.

• Single-Coil Valve Configuration: Designed specifically as a single-solenoid water inlet valve. This part is not a direct replacement for refrigerators requiring a dual- or triple-solenoid valve assembly for multiple water functions.

• Electrical Specifications: Features a standard 2-pin flat spade electrical connection and operates at 120V, 35W, 60Hz. Compare these specifications with your original valve before installation.

• Helps Resolve Common Ice Maker Issues: A replacement water inlet valve may help correct problems such as no water entering the ice maker, slow ice production, small or hollow ice cubes, unusual humming or buzzing from the valve area, leaking, or continuous water flow into the ice tray when a defective inlet valve is the cause.

• Durable Construction: Manufactured using high-strength, food-grade engineering plastic and corrosion-resistant metal components for dependable water flow control and repeated start-stop operation.

• Designed for DIY Replacement: The quick-connect inlet and 2-pin electrical connection provide a straightforward replacement design. Always disconnect refrigerator power and shut off the water supply before installation.

• Diagnostic Reminder: Before replacing the valve, check that the refrigerator water filter is not clogged, household water pressure is above 20 PSI, and freezer temperature is below 10°F. Other refrigerator or ice maker components may also cause a no-ice condition.
