Whirlpool Inlet Valve WPW10394076 OEM Part

Primary Water Inlet Valve for Refrigerators

This component plays a crucial role in safeguarding your refrigerator from leaks. It is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part crafted specifically for Whirlpool appliance models, encompassing brands like Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool extends its manufacturing to include Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products.

The Water Inlet Valve manages water flow to both the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, guaranteeing a fresh supply of ice and chilled water.

Indicators of a malfunctioning Water Inlet Valve consist of:

- The ice maker failing to produce ice, or producing ice cubes that are small or improperly formed.
- The water dispenser not functioning, or dispensing water sluggishly.
- Leaks occurring at the valve, suggesting the possibility of a crack or operational failure.

Common reasons for valve issues include mineral deposits from hard water that can obstruct flow or cause the valve to become immobile, general wear over time, and electrical faults that impede the valve's functionality.

This OEM part ensures compatibility with models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
