W10341320 (OE) Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve
The W10341320 (OE) is an Original Equipment (OE) replacement dual secondary water inlet valve compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators. This dual-solenoid valve controls water flow to two destinations — the refrigerator's water dispenser and the ice maker. Each solenoid opens independently when the control board calls for water at that destination, and closes the moment the call is dropped. When one or both solenoids fail, you lose water at the dispenser, ice production stops or slows, or the valve begins leaking at its connections.
Rated 110/120V, 50/60Hz. Dual solenoid: W1 = 20W, W2 = 35W. Important: this is the SECONDARY valve, not the primary water inlet valve — many Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators use both, and if your primary valve is working fine but you're still losing water or ice, the secondary valve is the likely culprit. It directly replaces WPW10341320, AP6019939, PS11753250, EAP11753250, 1937969, and K-78032. Common repair for leaks at the valve connections. Installs in about 30 minutes with basic hand tools and novice repair experience.
Quick Answer
The W10341320 (OE) Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators with no water through the door, an ice maker that won't make ice or makes too little ice, or leaking at the valve connections. Dual secondary valve — dual solenoid (W1=20W, W2=35W), 110/120V, 50/60Hz. Original Equipment (OE) — same design and performance as the factory part, without the OEM label. Replaces WPW10341320, AP6019939, PS11753250, EAP11753250, 1937969, K-78032. This is the SECONDARY valve — not the primary water inlet valve (W10238100).
Common Problems This Part Fixes
No water dispensing through the door — dispenser solenoid failed
Ice maker not making ice — ice maker solenoid failed
Ice maker dispensing too little ice — solenoid partially failed or restricted
Water leaking from the valve or its connections
Water dispenser works but ice maker doesn't (or vice versa) — one of the two solenoids has failed
Weak or slow water flow at the dispenser
Ice cubes coming out hollow, small, or misshapen from insufficient water fill
Valve buzzing or humming without opening
Primary valve tests fine but the refrigerator still won't dispense water or make ice

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator (or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance) and turn off the refrigerator's water supply at the shutoff valve before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Safely store any food that could spoil during the repair. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the lines and will spill when disconnected. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall to access the rear. The secondary water inlet valve is typically mounted at the back of the refrigerator, downstream of the primary valve where the household water line enters. Photograph the water line and wire harness connections before disconnecting anything — with two solenoids and multiple water lines, correct reconnection matters. Disconnect the water lines from the valve (use a 1/2" wrench where needed) and catch any residual water with a towel. Disconnect the electrical connectors from both solenoids. Remove the mounting screws holding the valve bracket in place and lift out the old valve. Install the new W10341320 (OE) valve in the same position and orientation, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the water lines — tighten fittings snugly without over-torquing. Reconnect the electrical connectors to the correct solenoids, matching your photos. Turn the water supply back on and check every connection for leaks BEFORE pushing the refrigerator back into place. Restore power. Run water through the dispenser for a few minutes to purge air from the lines, and discard the first few batches of ice. Tools needed: Multi-screwdriver, 1/2" wrench, nut driver, towels, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "OE" mean and how is it different from Genuine OEM?
OE (Original Equipment) parts are produced to the same design and performance standards as the original factory part, but they are not sold under the appliance brand's OEM label. They provide the same fit and function as the OEM part at a more affordable price. The W10341320 (OE) water inlet valve matches the electrical specifications (110/120V, 50/60Hz, dual solenoid W1=20W / W2=35W), dual-secondary valve design, connections, and physical fit of the original Whirlpool OEM part, and installs identically. The main difference from a Genuine OEM Whirlpool part is the branding and warranty — the OE version delivers equivalent performance without the OEM price premium.
What's the difference between the primary and secondary water inlet valve?
Many Whirlpool-platform side-by-side refrigerators use two water inlet valves working in series. The primary valve (typically W10238100 / WPW10238100) is where the household water supply line first enters the refrigerator — it's the main gatekeeper for water entering the appliance. The secondary valve (this W10341320) sits downstream and splits that flow between the water dispenser and the ice maker via its two independent solenoids. Both can fail independently. The key diagnostic: if the primary valve is working correctly (water is reaching the refrigerator) but you're still not getting water at the dispenser or ice from the ice maker, the secondary valve is the likely culprit. Check your model's parts diagram to confirm which valve you need.
My water dispenser works but the ice maker doesn't — can this still be the valve?
Yes, absolutely. This is a dual-solenoid valve — one solenoid feeds the water dispenser, the other feeds the ice maker. They fail independently. If your dispenser works fine but the ice maker isn't getting water (no ice, or hollow/small cubes), the ice maker solenoid on this valve may have failed while the dispenser solenoid still works. The reverse is also true. Before replacing the valve, also verify the ice maker itself is turned on (check the wire signal arm position) and that the water line to the ice maker isn't frozen or kinked — those produce similar symptoms.
Is this a common fix for leaks?
Yes — leaks at the water inlet valve's connections are one of the most common reasons this part gets replaced. Over time, the valve body or its fittings can develop cracks or the internal seals can degrade, producing a slow drip that pools behind or under the refrigerator. If you've found water behind your fridge and traced it to the valve area, replacing the valve typically resolves it. When installing the new valve, tighten the water line fittings snugly but don't over-torque them — over-tightening can crack the fitting and create a new leak. Always check all connections for leaks before pushing the refrigerator back against the wall.
Should I flush the water lines after installing the new valve?
Yes. After the new valve is installed and the water supply is restored, run water through the dispenser for several minutes to purge trapped air from the lines — air pockets cause sputtering and inconsistent flow. Also discard the first two or three batches of ice the ice maker produces, since they may contain air, debris, or residual manufacturing material from the new valve. After that, water and ice should return to normal quality and flow.

XPARTCO BPV-31 Refrigerator Refrigerant Piercing Valve / Line Tap Valve Kit
The XPARTCO BPV-31 is a universal bullet piercing tap valve (line tap valve) used to quickly access a sealed refrigerant line on refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and other HVAC systems — without soldering or brazing. The valve clamps around a copper refrigerant line and, when the valve stem is tightened with the included hex key, a hardened piercing needle punctures the tubing to create an access port. This lets a technician connect a charging hose or gauge to check pressure, pull a vacuum, or add refrigerant to a system that has no factory service port. It's a staple tool for appliance service and DIY refrigerator/freezer repair.
Fits 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" outside diameter copper pipes with the included adapters. The access port connection is a 1/4" male flare fitting. Rated to 500 PSI maximum, with a patented permanent gasket providing over 180 inch-lbs of sealing force — around 50 times the sealing area of a standard O-ring type valve — pressure tested at 250°F. Corrosion-resistant metal (zinc alloy) construction with a piercing needle engineered for concentricity and hardness to seat perfectly every time. Non-positional mounting requires no separate adapter valve and only 2" of clearance for installation. Each kit includes the piercing valve, a hex key wrench, and 2 adapters. It replaces AP4502525, BPV31, BPV31D, GPV14, GPV31, GPV38, GPV56, and MPV31.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Refrigerant Safety Warning Working with sealed refrigerant systems can expose you to pressurized refrigerant, which can cause frostbite, eye injury, and other harm. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves before piercing any line. Refrigerant handling may be regulated in your area — certain refrigerants require EPA certification (in the US) to purchase and handle. Never vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. This valve is NOT rated for R410a systems (too high pressure). If you're not experienced with refrigerant systems, have this work done by a qualified HVAC or appliance technician.
⚠️ Installation Steps — Clean the Line First Put on safety glasses and protective gloves. Identify the copper line you want to tap and confirm its outside diameter (1/4", 5/16", or 3/8") so you can select the correct included adapter. Clean the section of pipe where the valve will mount to prevent debris from entering the refrigerant line. Ensure the composite seal "O" ring/gasket is properly in place inside the valve. Place the two halves of the valve saddle around the pipe using the appropriate adapter insert for your pipe size. Install and evenly tighten the socket-head screws to clamp the valve body firmly around the pipe. To pierce the line, turn the valve stem clockwise with the included hex key until the needle punctures the tubing, then back the stem out (counterclockwise) to open the port and allow flow. To connect a gauge or charging hose: remove the cap, attach your hose to the 1/4" flare port, and open the valve by turning the stem counterclockwise. When finished, close the valve (turn the stem clockwise) BEFORE disconnecting the hose, then reinstall the protective cap. Note: the compact valve needs only 2" of clearance around the pipe. Tools needed: Included hex key wrench, safety glasses, protective gloves. (Note: to attach a gauge directly to the BPV, a retrofit valve adapter may be required — not included.)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bullet piercing valve used for?
A bullet piercing valve (line tap valve) lets you tap into a sealed copper refrigerant line to create an access port — without cutting, soldering, or brazing the line. Most household refrigerators and freezers are sealed systems with no factory service port, so if you need to check the refrigerant pressure, pull a vacuum, or add refrigerant, a piercing valve gives you that access quickly. It clamps around the pipe, and a needle pierces the tubing when you tighten the valve stem. It's commonly used in appliance repair and HVAC service, and by DIYers reviving a garage refrigerator or freezer that has lost its charge.
Which pipe sizes does this fit?
The BPV-31 fits 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" outside diameter copper pipes using the included adapters. Before installing, measure or confirm your refrigerant line's outside diameter and select the matching adapter insert. Getting the size right is essential for a proper seal — an incorrectly sized adapter won't clamp tightly and can leak. If you're not sure of your line size, measure the outside diameter of the copper tubing with calipers or a pipe gauge.
Can I use this on an R410a system?
No — the BPV-31 is NOT rated for R410a refrigerant systems. R410a operates at significantly higher pressures than older refrigerants like R-12, R-22, and R-134a, and exceeds the safe working pressure of this valve (500 PSI max). Using it on an R410a system is unsafe and could result in valve failure or refrigerant release. This valve is appropriate for lower-pressure systems using R-12, R-22, R-134a, and similar refrigerants. For R410a systems, use service equipment specifically rated for R410a pressures.
Is a piercing valve a permanent solution?
Piercing valves are best thought of as a service-access tool rather than a permanent fixture. They work reliably for tapping into a line to diagnose, vacuum, or charge a system, and the BPV-31's patented gasket provides a much stronger seal than basic O-ring valves. However, for a long-term permanent service port, many technicians prefer to cut the line and braze in a proper Schrader service port. Some technicians have concerns about the very long-term sealing of any piercing valve left permanently on a line. If you leave the valve installed, make sure the stem is closed and the cap is in place, and check periodically for leaks.
Do I need EPA certification to add refrigerant?
In the United States, handling many refrigerants (and purchasing them) requires EPA Section 608 certification, and it is illegal to intentionally vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. Regulations vary by refrigerant type and jurisdiction. The piercing valve itself is a tool that anyone can install, but the refrigerant handling that follows may be regulated. If you're a DIYer, research the rules that apply to your specific refrigerant and location, or have the refrigerant work done by a certified technician. Always recover refrigerant properly rather than venting it.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket universal service tool built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. The BPV-31 is a universal industry-standard bullet piercing valve design (also sold as Supco BPV31 and equivalent), manufactured from corrosion-resistant zinc alloy to match the fit, 1/4"/5/16"/3/8" pipe compatibility, 1/4" flare port, 500 PSI rating, and patented-style sealing gasket of the standard BPV-31 line tap valve. It replaces AP4502525, BPV31D, GPV14, GPV31, GPV38, GPV56, and MPV31.

XPARTCO WH13X26637 Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO WH13X26637 is an aftermarket replacement quad water inlet valve for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, RCA, Café, and Kenmore models. This valve controls the flow of water into the washer from the household supply line, using two internal valves — each with its own wire terminals — to manage water flow and temperature blending for the wash cycle. When the control calls for a fill, the corresponding solenoid opens to admit water and closes once the correct level is reached.
Rated 120V, 6/5W. Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body, a burned-out internal solenoid coil, and general wear over years of use. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the washer not starting, an error code related to water fill, or — one of the most common complaints — water continuing to drip into the tub between cycles even when the washer isn't running, since a worn internal seal can fail to shut off completely. It directly replaces WH13X24058, 4546358, AP5999608, AP6282070, EAP11729480, EAP12171559, PS11729480, PS12171559, WH13X26637-25PK, AGE26282, and PD00037665.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH13X26637 Washer Water Valve fixes GE top-load washers (and select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, RCA, Café, and Kenmore models) that won't start, show a water-fill error code, or have water dripping into the tub between cycles. Quad valve design — 2 valves, each with its own wire terminals. 120V, 6/5W. Replaces WH13X24058, 4546358, AP5999608, AP6282070, EAP11729480, EAP12171559, PS11729480, PS12171559, WH13X26637-25PK, AGE26282, PD00037665. Dripping into the tub between cycles, even with the washer off, is a classic sign of a worn valve seal that isn't shutting off completely.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't start
Error code related to water fill displayed on the control panel
Water dripping into the tub between cycles, even when the washer isn't running
Washer filling slowly or only partially
No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves at the wall before beginning. Wear work gloves. Unscrew the hot and cold supply lines from the bottom of the old valve, then carefully pull the valve assembly away from the wall for access. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything, since this valve has two separate wire terminal sets and multiple outlet hoses. Remove the cover securing the valve in place, disconnect the electrical connectors and outlet hoses, and take out the old valve — the entire assembly typically comes out in one piece. Insert the new WH13X26637 into the same opening, making sure it fits tightly and securely, and secure it with screws. Reconnect all outlet hoses to their original positions, reconnect the electrical connectors fully, and put the cover back on. Reconnect the hot and cold supply lines, tightening securely. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks before restoring power. Run a full test cycle across a few different temperature settings to confirm each fill function works correctly with no leaking. Tools needed: screwdriver, spanner, pliers or adjustable wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Water keeps dripping into my washer tub even when it's not running. Is this the valve?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failing valve, and a well-documented one for this exact part. If you've already checked the hoses and confirmed they're not the source of the leak, a worn internal seal in the valve is the most likely remaining cause — the seal fails to shut off completely, letting a small amount of water continue dripping through even between cycles. Shutting off the water supply is a temporary workaround, but replacing the valve is the permanent fix.
Why does this valve have two sets of wire terminals?
This is a quad valve design, meaning it houses two separate internal valves in one assembly, each with its own electrical connection. This allows the washer to independently control different water functions — such as hot and cold fill — from a single combined unit rather than requiring two completely separate valve housings.
Is this a top-load or front-load washer valve?
This is a top-load washer valve, compatible with GE's GTW and PTW model series. It's a different valve design from the ones used on GE's front-load washer platforms, so confirm your washer type and model number before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the quad valve design, wattage, and connection type of the original WH13X26637 valve used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, RCA, Café, and Kenmore top-load washers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Shut Off Water Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the household water supply valve before beginning. 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.
