XPARTCO W10238100 Refrigerator Water Valve
The XPARTCO W10238100 is an aftermarket replacement single primary water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built refrigerators sold under the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Inglis, and Ikea names. The valve is an electrically operated solenoid that opens to let water from the household supply line into the refrigerator's water system, and closes to stop it. When the valve fails, the refrigerator can stop supplying water to the dispenser and ice maker, make little or no ice, leak, or, if it no longer shuts off, overfill the ice maker and build up ice and frost.
This valve is a direct replacement for the OEM W10238100 / WPW10238100 and is a simple repair for most owners, typically 15–30 minutes. Some refrigerators also use a separate dual-solenoid valve, so check the Compatibility note before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water and Unplug Power Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator and unplug it before starting. Following your model's service guide, pull the refrigerator out and remove the rear access panel to reach the valve. Disconnect the water lines from the old valve, and the wiring connector from its solenoid, then remove the mounting screws. Install the new valve in the same position, reconnect the wiring and water lines securely, and replace the panel. Restore water and power, check every connection for leaks, and run water through the dispenser for a few minutes to flush the line. The valve needs at least 20 psi of water pressure to shut off properly, so if the ice maker still overflows, check the supply pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dispenser has no water and the ice maker isn't working. Is this the part I need?
It can be. Before replacing the valve, check that the water supply is on, the supply line isn't kinked, and the water filter isn't clogged. If those are fine, a failed water inlet valve is a likely cause.
My ice maker is overflowing. Could it be the valve?
Yes. A valve that doesn't shut off fully will keep letting water in. Also confirm your water pressure is at least 20 psi, since low pressure can stop the valve from closing properly.
My refrigerator has a dual-solenoid valve. Will this work?
No. This is a single primary valve, and the dual-solenoid valve is a different part. Check your parts diagram or contact our support team with your model number.
Is this an OEM part?
No. This is an XPARTCO aftermarket replacement built to match the Whirlpool W10238100. If you prefer a genuine OEM valve, contact us.
