W10897719 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (W10897719) is a genuine part produced by Whirlpool. This part is compatible with a variety of Whirlpool refrigerator models. This water inlet valve, sometimes referred to as a water fill valve or a solenoid valve, is an integral component of your refrigerator's water system.

The water inlet valve operates as a control mechanism for the water supply to various components, such as the ice maker and water dispenser. This electromechanical device regulates the flow of water from the main water supply to these specific parts. When you initiate the ice-making or water-dispensing process, an electrical signal is sent to the water inlet valve. This signal opens a pathway for water to flow into the designated compartment. Once the desired amount of water has been dispensed or the ice tray is filled, the valve closes.

If your refrigerator is not dispensing water or ice, or if it's leaking, it could be an indication that this part is failing. In such cases, replacing the water inlet valve might be necessary.

Please remember to verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility before purchasing this part.
