Whirlpool WP2188808 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP2188808 is a water inlet valve made exclusively for Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag refrigerators. This is a solenoid valve, which means it controls the flow of water via electrical signals. When your refrigerator requires water for the ice or water dispenser, it sends a signal to the valve. The valve then opens, allowing water to flow from the house plumbing to the refrigerator. When there is no longer a demand for water, the valve closes, eliminating any undesired water flow. This replacement part is essential for any refrigerator that uses water or crushed ice. A broken valve can result in a lack of water dispensing, leaking, or even uncontrolled water flow, potentially damaging your refrigerator and adjacent surfaces.
