Refrigerator Water Valve W11312191 OEM Part

Whirlpool produces this original equipment manufacturer (OEM) water inlet valve, compatible with a range of their refrigerator brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Moreover, Whirlpool also supplies analogous parts for models by Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This valve is specifically designed for side-by-side refrigerators, positioned within the water line to regulate water flow to both the icemaker and the water dispenser.<br /><br />A malfunctioning valve may manifest through irregular or absent water flow from the dispenser, in addition to difficulties with the icemaker's filling process. Mineral build-up over time can obstruct the valve's internal ports, impeding performance.<br /><br />Reasons that might lead to valve failure include:<br /><br />- Insufficient ice production or a non-operational water dispenser<br />- Leaks or water spray around the valve location<br />- Inconsistent water pressure or flow issues<br /><br />This replacement valve is compatible with select models of KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators.
