Lenny from KY
Problem
Water leaked from water inlet valve leaving puddles of water especially when we got water from the fridge. I took off the old part, put on the replacement part and the leaking stopped.
Tools
Screwdriver and an adjustable wrench.
Repair & Advice
I took off the access panel from the rear of the refrigerator on the bottom. On the right hand side there’s a water inlet valve, I took the old water inlet valve off and put on the new one. Then remounted it put back on the access panel, and the problem is fixed no more water leaking.

Problem
Water was not entering the refrigerator to make ice cubes or dispense water.
Tools
Screw driver primarily.
Repair & Advice
I consulted with an appliance repair person and we went through a problem solving process to identify what was not working. I had already checked the water line and it was working. I had also installed an new ice maker. But when I saw that the water inlet valve was rusty, I knew that this was the part that needed to be replaced. After about 20 minutes, the part was installed, working and so was the ice maker. I was surprised it went so well.
