I tool a wild guess that this water valve was my problem but it was not. So my second guess was the ice maker itself which i also ordered from PartsDr and received it very quickly and that fixed my problem. Very easy to install and the staff was very helpful

Problem
Water to fridge door stopped -- Replacing filter did not fix, troubleshooting led us to water inlet valve not functioning.
Tools
Screwdriver
Repair & Advice
Water in door on fridge stopped. Replaced filter and still nothing. Realized there was no low "hum" when we triggered the door valve and that led to the water inlet valve. It is a little older fridge so were happy to find it on Parts Dr. It was the correct part, the pictures made it easy to identify that, and it shipped and was received quickly. Replaced the part, turned water back on, and triggered the door valve -- Yikes! Nothing happened, however, you could hear the water inlet valve was working. Having the water to the icemaker as well as the door off for a handful of days meant the water froze in the reservoir (ours is behind the left hand veggie crisper drawer). Hairdryer and about 10 minutes and we were back in business.
