Whirlpool WP2188786 Water Inlet Valve for Refrigerator

The Whirlpool WP2188786 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve regulates the flow of water to the ice dispenser and water dispenser in your refrigerator. This electronically operated component functions as a switch, allowing water to flow into the dispenser when it is activated. When the ice or water dispenser is used, the valve receives a signal and opens a solenoid to permit water flow. Typically, the valve features two coils, one dedicated to the water dispenser and the other to the ice dispenser. This design allows for independent control of water flow for each function. Replacing a faulty water inlet valve can restore the proper operation of the water dispensing system in your refrigerator.
