WPW10190981 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker The WPW10190981 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM ice maker assembly for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Amana French door refrigerators. This assembly receives water from the refrigerator's water inlet, holds it in the ice mold until it freezes, then uses a heating element to loosen the finished ice from the mold and automatically eject it — a rotating arm pushes the ice into the storage bin, and the cycle repeats until the bin is full. This is a modular-style assembly, and it does not include a new cover, ice level arm, or wire harness — these three components must be reused from your existing ice maker. If the coating on your current ice maker's mold is flaking off, or if internal components are no longer functioning correctly, replacing the assembly resolves both problems together. It directly replaces W10122533 and W10190981. Quick Answer The WPW10190981 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Amana French door refrigerators that have stopped making ice, are producing less ice than usual, or have a mold with flaking coating. Replaces W10122533, W10190981. This assembly does not include the cover, ice level arm, or wire harness — you must transfer these three components from your old ice maker to the new one during installation. Common Problems This Part Fixes Ice maker has stopped producing ice entirely Ice maker producing less ice than it used to Ice mold coating visibly flaking or deteriorating Ice maker cycling but not ejecting ice into the bin Internal ice maker components no longer functioning correctly Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. Move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Open the freezer door and remove the ice bucket or drawer to access the ice maker. Photograph the wiring harness connection and the position of the cover and ice level arm before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws securing the old ice maker in place, then disconnect the wire harness connector. Before setting the old ice maker aside, remove its cover, ice level arm, and wire harness — none of these three components are included with this replacement assembly, and you'll need to transfer all of them onto the new WPW10190981. Attach the cover, ice level arm, and wire harness from your old ice maker onto the new assembly, making sure each is seated and connected correctly. Mount the new assembly in the same position, reconnect the wire harness connector, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the ice bucket or drawer. Restore power and allow several hours for the first cycle to complete, confirming ice is being produced and ejected normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Does this ice maker come complete and ready to install? Not entirely — this assembly does not include a new cover, ice level arm, or wire harness. You'll need to remove these three components from your existing ice maker and transfer them onto this new assembly during installation, since only the ice maker body itself is included. My ice mold's coating is flaking. Should I replace the whole assembly? Yes. The mold coating isn't a separately serviceable part — if it's flaking off, replacing the complete ice maker assembly is the correct fix, since a damaged coating can affect ice quality and won't improve on its own. Is this a difficult repair? It's considered a moderate repair requiring basic hand tools, some disassembly of the refrigerator, and novice repair experience. The extra step of transferring the cover, ice level arm, and wire harness from your old unit adds a bit more care to the process compared to a fully complete replacement assembly, but it's manageable for a confident DIYer. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original mold design, heating element, and cycling mechanism of the ice maker originally installed in your refrigerator.

WR30X39385 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Ice Maker The WR30X39385 is a genuine GE OEM ice maker assembly for GE refrigerators. This complete unit receives water, holds it in an internal mold, and freezes it into cubes, then ejects the finished ice into the freezer's ice bucket or drawer, repeating the cycle automatically until the bucket is full. It's the full assembly, not just an internal component, so replacing it addresses the ice-making mechanism, mold, and cycling controls together as one unit. Over time, internal components can wear or fail electrically, or the mold itself can develop issues that affect how cleanly ice releases. A failing ice maker typically shows up as reduced or stopped ice production, or ice cubes coming out hollow or malformed rather than solid. It directly replaces AP7179920. Quick Answer The WR30X39385 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Ice Maker fixes GE refrigerators that have stopped making ice, are producing significantly less ice than usual, or are making hollow or malformed cubes. Complete ice maker assembly. Replaces AP7179920. Installation is a moderate DIY repair, typically 30-45 minutes.

Wear work gloves. If there's frost or ice buildup around the ice maker or its fill tube, allow the area to defrost fully before continuing, since ice buildup can make removal difficult and may mask the fill tube's actual condition. Open the freezer door and locate the ice maker assembly. Remove the ice bucket or drawer to improve access. Photograph the wiring harness connection and the fill tube position before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws securing the ice maker in place, then disconnect the wire harness connector and the water fill tube connection. Remove the old ice maker fully. Install the new WR30X39385 in the same mounting position, making sure the fill tube aligns correctly so water reaches the mold without leaking, and reconnect the wire harness connector securely. Secure the mounting screws, reinstall the ice bucket or drawer, and restore power. Allow several hours for the first cycle to complete and confirm ice is being produced and ejected normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My ice cubes are coming out hollow. Is that the ice maker? Yes, hollow or malformed cubes are a documented symptom of ice maker issues on this platform, alongside reduced or stopped ice production altogether. This can point to a problem with how the mold fills or releases ice, and replacing the complete assembly addresses the mold and cycling mechanism together rather than trying to diagnose and repair individual internal components. Why does the fill tube alignment matter so much during installation? The fill tube is what delivers water from the refrigerator's supply line into the ice maker's mold at the start of each cycle. If it's not aligned correctly during installation, water can miss the mold, leak into the freezer compartment, or fail to fill the mold completely, all of which prevent normal ice production even with a perfectly good new ice maker installed. Do I need to defrost anything before starting this repair? If there's visible frost or ice buildup around the old ice maker or its fill tube, yes — letting that area defrost fully makes removal easier and gives you a clearer look at the fill tube's actual condition, rather than working around ice that could mask damage or make the old unit harder to detach cleanly. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same mold design, cycling mechanism, and mounting configuration as the ice maker originally installed in your refrigerator.

AJU34125552 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve The AJU34125552 is a genuine LG OEM water inlet valve for LG refrigerators, supplying water to both the ice maker and the door water dispenser from a single valve assembly. Mounted at the rear of the refrigerator where the household water supply line connects, this valve opens on command from the control board to admit water for either feature, and closes again once the request is satisfied. Common causes of failure include mineral and sediment buildup from hard water interfering with the internal solenoid over time, and general electrical wear. A failing valve typically shows up as the ice maker no longer producing ice, the water dispenser slowing down or stopping entirely, or both symptoms appearing together since one valve serves both functions. Quick Answer The AJU34125552 Genuine OEM LG Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve fixes LG refrigerators where the ice maker stopped making ice, the water dispenser isn't working, water flow is slow, or there's a leak near the valve at the back of the refrigerator. Supplies both the ice maker and dispenser from one valve. Common Problems This Part Fixes Ice maker has stopped making ice, or is producing less ice than usual Water dispenser on the refrigerator door isn't working or has slowed down Both the ice maker and water dispenser affected together Slow water flow at the dispenser Water leaking near the valve at the back of the refrigerator No water or ice production at all Valve failure following known hard water conditions at the home Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers AJU34125552, EAP10066440, FIX10066440, OEM17872815, PS10066440, AP5957602, ALG1274937, PD00053838. We were not able to confirm additional cross-reference or superseding part numbers for this specific part number from reliable sources at the time this page was built, so none are listed here rather than guessed. If you have a cross-reference number for your appliance, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order. Compatibility This water inlet valve is compatible with select LG refrigerators. Note: A specific verified compatible model list was not available at the time this page was built. LG has used several visually similar water inlet valve part numbers across different refrigerator platforms, and parts that look identical can have small but important differences. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number and we will confirm fitment before you purchase. Key Features Genuine LG OEM part — factory-specified solenoid design and flow-rate calibration Single valve assembly supplies water to both the ice maker and door water dispenser Resolves "ice maker not making ice," "dispenser not working," "slow water flow," and "leak near the valve" symptoms caused by valve failure Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance DIY-friendly repair — typically 15 to 30 minutes Product Specifications Part Number AJU34125552 Part Type Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (Ice Maker + Dispenser) Condition Genuine OEM Brand LG Location Rear of refrigerator, at the household water line connection Function Supplies water to the ice maker and door water dispenser Repair Difficulty Easy — 15 to 30 minutes Quantity 1 valve assembly Compatible Brand LG Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Store Perishable Food Separately Shut off the water supply and unplug the refrigerator before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access, then locate the valve at the rear of the cabinet where the water supply line connects. Photograph the wiring harness and water line connections before disconnecting anything. On some installations, the wiring harness has been routed between water supply lines, which can make the connector difficult to reach and unplug — if this is the case, gently reposition or loosen a water line first rather than forcing the connector. Disconnect the water supply line from the old valve, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding the valve in place, then pull it free. Install the new AJU34125552 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the electrical connector fully — route the wiring the same way the original was routed, avoiding pinch points against the water lines if possible. Reattach the water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Restore the water supply and check for leaks before restoring power. Push the refrigerator back into place and test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the following day to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench or pliers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My ice maker and dispenser both stopped working at the same time. Is that normal for a valve failure? Yes, this is actually a very telling symptom. Because one valve assembly supplies water to both the ice maker and the door dispenser, a failure inside the valve itself commonly affects both functions simultaneously. If only one of the two has stopped working while the other functions normally, it's worth double-checking the water filter and supply line for a localized restriction before assuming the valve has failed, but a simultaneous failure of both points strongly toward this valve. The wiring harness on my old valve was hard to reach. Is that normal? It can be, depending on how the original installation routed the wiring. Some installations run the harness between two water supply lines, which can make the connector awkward to access and unplug. If you find yourself in this situation, gently repositioning or loosening a nearby water line first — rather than forcing the connector — makes it much easier to disconnect without damaging anything. Could hard water be why my valve failed? Yes, this is a common and well-documented cause. Mineral deposits from hard water can build up inside the valve over time and interfere with the internal solenoid's ability to open and close properly, eventually leading to failure. If you know your home has hard water and this valve has failed, it may be worth considering a water softener or more frequent filter changes to extend the life of the replacement. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same solenoid design and dual-function (ice maker and dispenser) configuration as the water inlet valve originally installed in your refrigerator.

Place a towel and small container under the valve area to catch residual water. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall to access the back lower panel — remove the panel screws to expose the water inlet valve. Photograph the wiring harness connections and water tube connections before disconnecting. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the 1/4" supply line from the valve inlet — use an adjustable wrench, as some compression fittings may be stuck. Squeeze the plastic retaining clips on the outlet tube fittings and pull the internal water tubes free. Disconnect the wiring harness. Unscrew the mounting bracket and remove the old valve. Install the new W10498976 valve with its bracket, reconnect the internal water tubes (push until they click), reconnect the wire harness and supply line. Restore water supply and power. Run a water dispenser test and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench, needle-nose pliers. Frequently Asked Questions What does the refrigerator water inlet valve do? The water inlet valve is an electrically controlled solenoid valve that opens on command from the refrigerator's control board to allow household water pressure to push water through to the ice maker fill tube or the water dispenser. When the ice maker calls for water or you press the dispenser lever, the board sends voltage to the solenoid coil, which opens the valve. When the demand is satisfied, the voltage stops, the spring closes the valve, and water flow stops. A failed solenoid coil — or a valve seat clogged with mineral deposits — prevents the valve from opening or closing correctly, causing no water, weak water, overflow, or dripping. What is the difference between W10498976 and WPW10498976? These are the same water inlet valve. WPW10498976 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original W10498976. The W10420082 and W10498974 are also cross-references for this same valve from earlier production runs. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers. How do I know if the water inlet valve has failed vs. something else? First confirm the household water supply valve behind the refrigerator is fully open and the supply line is not kinked. Then check the water filter — a clogged filter is one of the most common causes of weak or no water flow and is mistaken for a valve failure. If both supply pressure and the filter are good, test the valve's solenoid coil with a multimeter — a working coil reads 200–500 ohms of resistance; an open circuit confirms failure. If the solenoid tests good but the valve still does not open when the control board sends voltage, the valve seat may be physically clogged with mineral deposits and the valve needs to be replaced. My ice maker is not working but my water dispenser is fine — is it the valve? Possibly — but if the water dispenser works normally, the main valve solenoid is likely functioning. On some refrigerator configurations, the ice maker and the dispenser are controlled by separate solenoid ports on the valve assembly. If only the ice maker port has failed, the dispenser can continue working while ice production stops. Test the ice maker solenoid coil separately. However, a more common cause of ice maker failure with a working dispenser is the ice maker module, freezer temperature, or ice maker shut-off arm — rule out those causes before replacing the valve. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from plastic and metal to match the electrical specifications and dimensions of the original WPW10498976 water inlet valve assembly.
