Choice WR57X10098 Refrigerator Water Valve
The Choice WR57X10098 is a Choice-brand replacement dual water inlet valve for GE refrigerators, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. Located in the left door on many GE refrigerator platforms, this single valve supplies water to both the ice maker and the door water dispenser. When either feature calls for water, this valve's solenoids open to admit it and close again once the request is satisfied — since one valve handles both jobs, a failure here can affect the ice maker, the dispenser, or both at once.
Common causes of failure include mineral and sediment buildup from the household water supply interfering with the valve's internal operation, and electrical faults either in the valve itself or in the refrigerator's control board that signals it. A failing dual water valve produces a recognizable set of symptoms: the door dispenser stops delivering water, the ice maker slows down or stops producing ice, water leaking around the valve area, or the valve failing to shut off water flow completely. It directly replaces AP5656686, 3033225, and PS6011774.
Quick Answer
The Choice WR57X10098 Refrigerator Water Valve fixes GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators where the door water dispenser stops working, the ice maker slows down or stops making ice, water is leaking near the valve, or the valve won't shut off completely. Located in the left door on many models. Replaces AP5656686, 3033225, PS6011774. Before replacing, rule out a clogged water filter and check the control board signal — both can produce identical symptoms to a failed valve.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Water dispenser on the refrigerator door has stopped working
- Ice maker has slowed down, stopped producing ice, or is malfunctioning intermittently
- Both the ice maker and water dispenser affected at the same time
- Water leaking or dripping around the valve area
- Valve that won't shut off completely, causing continued water flow
- Reduced water flow or pressure at the dispenser

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Authorized Service Part Required For Flammable Refrigerant Systems GE's own service guidance carries an explicit warning for this component: it is a manufacturer-authorized service part intended for use in refrigerator models that use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a. Using an unauthorized or incorrectly rated service part in a unit that uses a flammable refrigerant could lead to a risk of fire or explosion. Before ordering or installing, confirm your refrigerator's refrigerant type and verify this part is correct for your specific model. If you have any doubt about your refrigerant type or the correct part for your unit, contact our support team with your model number before proceeding, or have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair.
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet, and shut off the water supply valve behind or below the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the left door on models where this valve is door-mounted, or at the rear of the cabinet on others — check your model's service diagram. Have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out when you disconnect the line. Photograph the wiring and water line connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the water supply line from the old valve, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding it in place, then pull the valve free. Install the new WR57X10098 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers — avoid overtightening plastic threaded fittings. Restore the water supply and check the connection for leaks before restoring power. Test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the next day to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench or pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a fire/explosion warning on this part?
Some refrigerators use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a (isobutane), instead of older non-flammable refrigerants. Electrical components like this water valve are near refrigerant lines and can be a source of ignition if a leak were ever present, which is why GE requires an authorized, correctly rated service part for these systems rather than a generic substitute. Confirming your model and refrigerant type before ordering is the appropriate precaution.
My dispenser stopped working but the ice maker still works. Is this the right part?
It's possible, but worth checking a couple of things first, since this valve serves both features from one unit. Confirm the water supply line isn't kinked, and check the inline water filter for a clog, since a blocked filter can starve the dispenser specifically while the ice maker keeps working depending on your model's plumbing. If the filter and supply line are clear and the dispenser still won't deliver water, the valve itself is the likely cause.
Could the problem actually be my water filter instead of this valve?
Yes, it's worth ruling out first. A clogged inline water filter can produce very similar symptoms to a failing valve — reduced dispenser flow, slow ice production, or both. Try replacing the water filter first if it's been a while since the last change; if symptoms persist afterward, the dual water valve is the more likely cause.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a Choice-brand replacement part. Choice parts are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, materials, and performance, giving you reliable quality at a more affordable price than the genuine branded part.
