Whirlpool WP2188786 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

The Whirlpool WP2188786 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve is an essential fixture that regulates the flow of water to your refrigerator's ice dispenser and water dispenser. In essence, it's a switch that is electronically operated. Water can flow through the valve and into your dispenser when you activate the ice or water dispenser. The valve gets a signal and opens a solenoid to let water flow through it. Usually, the valve contains two coils: one for the water dispenser and one for the ice dispenser. Each function's water flow can be independently controlled thanks to this architecture. The water dispensing system in your refrigerator can be made to work properly again by replacing a malfunctioning water inlet valve.
