Water Inlet Valve replacement
The part came later than when I was initially notified. The part was in good condition. Installation was easy and didn't take long. I would order from here again.

Leaky Inlet Valve and Ice Maker failing to make Ice
1). Pull Frig away from wall, 2). Unplug Frig 3). Turn off water feed 4). Remove cardboard dust shield on lower back of frig (1/4" screws. I used socket) 5.) Valve visible attached with two1/4" screws to Frig frame. (Remove two screws)Tip it is a good idea to hand tighten the two srews back
... Read more into their original holes. This marks their placement for mounting the NEW valve later.
6.) Inlet Valve has three water lines attached to it and two electrical clip-on wires. 7.) Stop work and take a picture of the Valve, which clearly shows color coded clip-on wires and hose connection ports. 8.) Take a break and study the photo next to the NEW valve in order to insure an OEM match. 9.). Note: Lines push directly into ports and then you need to pull them toward you, as though you were pulling them back out of the port. This will seat and seal the water lines with a tight fit. Tip: Cut the old line about 2-3 inches away from the old valve and check that your cut is clean, before putting it in the portal of the replacement valve. Note: You only get it right the first time, so double check your cut is square with clean edges. Look at the lines pointed straight at you to insure the plastic hose is still round. If it is oval or slightly creased at the edges, cut the hose with a razor blade or very sharp knife until it looks good and shove in fully, until it hits bottom, inside the NEW valve. Give a firm short pull and you will feel the hose seat almost immediately.
10.) Repeat the process with all three hoses and take another short break. Look at your photo to guide your color matching with the Clip-on electrical connectors.
11.) Now remove the Clip-on electrical connectors one at a time and place on the NEW valve.
12.) Turn on the water feed line and check for leaks. If NO leaking is detected, congratulate yourself, and use two 1/4" screws to mount the NEW valve to the frig frame. The two screws you left hand tight in the frame, show the way.
13.). Plug in the Frig. let everything settle in for 10 minutes, while you have a break for a small bite/drink, use the bathroom, etc.
14.) Okay time to push the frig back against the wall. Do you want to place the old dust shield on the back of the frig? If you are unsatisfied with the condition of the old one, you might consider replacing it.
15.) My wife is good at crafts, so she chose to use the old one as a template and made a new cover out of material she had to buy.
16.). I should tell you that I had to do this job twice, because I bought a cheap valve online that looked exactly like what I needed. It failed to work with the ice maker and after three months, it started to leak. Once again I learned "you get what you pay for."
I hope this helps one or two people get it right on their first attempt.
Good Luck, Larry

How do you remove and re-connect the water lines that are connected to the water solenoid valves.
For model number GR2FHTXVBOO
Hello Mike, thank you for your question. This is a quick connect valve so you would depress the couplings around each water line and pull the line out. To reinsert the water line, simply insert the tube into the port and it will grab and seal. I hope this helps!

We have water in the door but the watwr to the icemaker isn't working. The icemaker runs but is not recieving water. Which part do i need to replace?
For model number 10674252400
Hi John,
Thank you for your question. The issue is likely the water inlet valve. If a component in the water inlet valve has failed or if there is insufficient pressure, it will not allow water to flow through and the ice maker will not make ice. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My icemaker was filling with water and began running over and wouldn't stop. What do you think is the problem?
For model number G2IXEFMWSO1
Hi John,
Thank you for your inquiry. You may have to check the water lines going from the water inlet valve to the ice maker, the water inlet valve and the ice maker to see which part is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

The water dispenser inside the fridge drips constantly. Stuck a rubber plug in he tube to temp stop the leak but pressure blew it back out. Thanks
For model number G2IXEFMWB01
Hello Rocky, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: water inlet valve, the water filter and water tubes. Also check your water pressure as it only requires 20 psi to run the water inlet valve. Hope this helps!

For model number GR2FHTXTB00
Hi Tony,
Thank you for your question. If water is leaking from the water inlet valve, then you will need to replace it as a component in the valve as failed. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Part is leaking water on dispenser side when in use can it be cleaned or tightened and water lines put back in or just replace it with new if so do water lines just push back in to valve thanks
For model number G2IXEFMWQO1
Hi Dean, if you are going to tighten and clean the unit I would recommend a train technician to do so.This is a quick connect valve so you would depress the couplings around each water line and pull the line out. To reinsert the water line, simply insert the tube into the port and it will grab and seal. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

water dispenser is slow to shut off when glass is removed
For model number GR2SHWXPB02
Hello Alan, Thank you for contacting us. This issue can be caused by the water inlet valve being slow to close. You can test the solenoids on the valve with a multimeter. We hope this helps.

The ice maker seems to overfill, leaking into the ice bin forming a large chunk of ice. Leakage stops when the bale is in the up off position. Motor works okay. Does the solenoid need replacing?
For model number KTRC22EMBT05
Hi Keith,
Thank you for your question. If the ice maker is leaking, you will need to check the water inlet valve, the ice maker, the water filter and the water tubes between the water inlet valve and the ice maker. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
