The Whirlpool WPW10217917 Ice Maker Water Inlet Valve controls the flow of water entering the appliance assembly. It is positioned along the appliance water supply line and connected to the incoming water source and outlet tubing. When the ice maker signals for water the valve opens to allow a measured flow into the ice making section then closes to stop the supply. Its electrical connection links it with the ice maker control circuit, coordinating water delivery with the ice generation cycle. The valve maintains the required water pathway between the supply line, and ice maker.
