Though a water-using part, the water supply valve on your refrigerator is an electrical component that uses solenoids to control the flow of water. While it may open and close when signaled by the control board for years, it is possible that the build-up of water minerals or faulty solenoids will someday prevent it. This can result in either a lack of water or far too much of it. While replacing a faulty water supply valve in your refrigerator may seem like a complicated repair, it can be broken down into a few simple to follow steps. These steps are generalized and can vary by model and brand.
While this all makes the process seem very simple, and it can be, you will want to be careful making the repair. Small things, like crushing the copper tubing accidentally, can cause big problems. Furthermore, you will want to make sure you consult your owner’s manual to find the specifics for the water supply valve on your refrigerator as well as the model number so you can order the appropriate replacement part.
