Part Wasn't Required
Water dispenser wasn't working. After changing the filter I assumed this valve is what I needed without checking / testing. Part arrived as expected in good condition. Pulled refrigerator out and found a large build up of ice on the back along with substantial rusting and drywall damage. Water line was simply frozen solid. Searched online - apparently this is a common problem with this refrigerator. Removed ice and let line thaw. Water works. Valve not required. Called a repairman.

Not making ice in both ice maker or dispensing water
To confirm my diagnosis I first replace the filter still no water flow. Check water supply from the wall valve: ok Remove the entire inlet valve assembly and sit it over a small bucket. Disconnect the tubing from the bottom of the 1st selenide valve: this is the one leading to the filter. Place cup under water dispenser and activate dispenser. No water discharge from inlet valve confirm valve is bad. Install the new valve matching the colored tubing with the color on each inlet valve. Re-connect the water supply place container under water dispenser and activate: There will be a large gush of air then water. Dispense aprox 1 gallon of water to confirm all the air is purged from the system. Your refrigerator is now back to dispensing water and making ice. Good luck everyone - Neville

Just had a repair man come out and he replaced the upper unit of my icemaker the small rubber hose was hanging and also replaced the drain, and know the ice maker doesn't make any ice and you can not hear the water turning off or on like it use too when it was filling the tray. The ice tray works because it dumps like there is ice in the cube part but no ice. The repair man came back out today and is know telling me that it is the main board under the fridge. But then he said if that was the case the whole refrigerator wouldn't be working.Please help don't want to pay for something expensive it is something cheap.
thanks you
For model number LFHB2741PF1
Hello Diana, thank you for your question. I would recommend testing the water inlet valve to be sure its functioning properly. It sounds like the water isn't being sent from that valve to the icemaker. Here is a link that will assist you with testing that part. If the part passes the test, and is not the issue, please resubmit a new question. https://www.partselect.com/Refrigerator+test-water-valve+repair.htm

Will this part fix water not dispensing from the door and it’s not making ice. I replaced the filter and i’m thinking something is clogging the water . Is this part the valve in the back bottom of the fridge? Thank you ??
For model number LGUB2642LE3
Hello Michelle, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this is the most common cause of your symptoms for your model after the filter. You can test it with a multimeter to see if it is working. Hope this helps!

Does the ice machine and the water dispenser work off of the same water valve? My ice maker is not working but the water dispenser is, thanks
For model number Fghb2866pfga
Hi Richard, Thank you for the question. Yes the ice maker and water dispenser work off the same valve but the valve has two sides. One for the ice maker and the other for the dispenser.It is possible only one side is defective. Hope this helps!

I am looking for the part but want to be sure prior to ordering. On the back bottom of the fridge there is a valve where the main water line connects. It is leaking and needs replacement. I think it is part f55 but want to make sure?

Where the water flows into tray on the ice maker it keeps freezing. I have to take a hair dryer and unfreeze it. It will fill the ice tray about a third of the way and it freezes again. I have changed the water filter often but doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions.
For model number FGHB2866PF9A
Hello Robert, thank you for inquiring. To fix the overflowing of the ice maker you may want to replace either the Water Inlet Valve part PS7321353 or the Ice Maker part PS12584847. We hope this helps.

The upper ice maker has recently quit making ice. The door switch is activating the ice dispenser as well as the water dispenser, but the ice maker isn’t making any ice. How do i check to determine what went wrong or has failed?
For model number LGHB2867PFCA
Hello Kevin, Thank you for your inquiry. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. We would recommend checking the water inlet valve, the water tubes, and the ice maker assembly. Hope this helps!

Replaced my filter due to water running slow out of the door. Checked the line in and have great pressure. Pulled the line off going to the filter and have great pressure. Going through the filter and housing pressure drops to almost nothing. Is there a screen or part in the filter housing that could be clogged? How do i fix this?
For model number Fbps27777rfa
Hello and thank you for writing.
There is usually no screen in the filter housing, however it is very important to replace the water filter with the correct OEM filter as there has been a lot of issues with aftermarket filters lately. Also, check your manifold. Please see the part links related to this question just beneath this answer. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.
Water dispenser is working but ice maker is not. It does not do anything, no water, no noise. Water valve is not working? How do i check it?
For model number EI27BS26JS5
Hi Jack, Thank you for the question. You will want to test the water valve and to see if the water valve is getting 120 vac. To do this, push the test button on the ice maker and connect a multi meter lead to the water valve on the icemaker side. If there is voltage to the valve the the valve would be the issue. Hope this helps!

Top icemaker overfills ice tray and leaks water into cube bin. Cube bin is now cracked, and after full defrost / cycle / try again keeps doing same thing, ice trays overfill and water leaks into cube bin. What parts do i need to repair both the overfilling tray and the craked ice bin?
For model number EW23BC25KS7
Hi Dave, assuming you are referring to model EW23BC85KS7, the ice bin is part PS3504337 , Be sure the bucket is properly positioned directly under the icemaker. If this does not work you may need to replace icemaker PS12717693. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!
I have a problem with the ice maker that is in the fridge. The ice tray overfills and leaks water into cube bin. After three cycles there is ice and a bunch of water that freezes the ice together, this makes a huge ice buildup in the cube bin, the auger does not turn to dispense ice out the door, and the entire ice bin freezes into it's slot so it can only be pulled out if the fridge is defrosted. I have turned the ice maker off so it won't leak more water by overfilling the ice trays. What part do i need to repair the overfilling tray?For model number ew23bc85ks7. i did receive an answer, however it was for the bottom ice maker that sits in the freezer, that is not the piece i need help with.
***previous answer (incorrect):
