W10881366 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (W10881366) is a genuine part manufactured by Whirlpool for use in their refrigerators. This part is compatible with a variety of Whirlpool refrigerator models. The Water Inlet Valve, sometimes referred to as a fill valve or solenoid valve, is an essential component of your refrigerator's ice maker and water dispensing system.

This valve is an electromechanical device that controls the water flow from your home's main supply to the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. When you request water or ice from your appliance, an electrical signal is sent to the valve. This signal triggers a solenoid within the valve, opening a pathway for water to flow into the desired compartment. Once the water has been dispensed or the ice tray is filled, the valve closes, preventing any further water flow.

Symptoms indicating that your Water Inlet Valve may need replacement include: your refrigerator not making ice, water continuously dripping from the dispenser, or a lack of water flow when the dispenser is activated. If you notice any of these symptoms, it may be time to consider replacing the Water Inlet Valve (W10881366).

Before purchasing, verify that this part is compatible with your specific Whirlpool refrigerator model number.
