The Whirlpool W10876668 is a critical component of your refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. This serves as a water inlet valve, controlling the flow of water into your refrigerator. This solenoid valve is electronically controlled and opens when your refrigerator signals it to do so. When closed, it avoids unnecessary water flow and any leaks. The intake valve, located behind the refrigerator, is critical for ensuring that your ice maker and dispenser receive a consistent flow of clean water. A defective inlet valve can cause limited ice production, an inoperable water dispenser, or unusual noises from the refrigerator. Replacing a defective intake valve with a genuine Whirlpool W10876668 part restores appropriate water flow and revitalizes your ice machine and dispenser.
