Whirlpool produces a broad range of brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) valve is engineered specifically for Whirlpool refrigerators to regulate water flow to the ice maker and water dispenser.
Possible indicators of a malfunctioning valve may include:
- The ice maker or water dispenser operating improperly
- Water appearing discolored or tasting unpleasant
- Leaks or drips occurring at the dispenser
- Challenges in selecting crushed ice
Typical problems arise from mineral deposits or sediment accumulation leading to blockages or from deterioration of the valve seals.
This valve is also compatible with models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
