Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger: Lethal Charge — Qualified Technician Installation Only A microwave high-voltage capacitor can hold a lethal electrical charge even after the microwave is unplugged. Installation should be done by a qualified service technician who knows how to safely discharge and test the high-voltage circuit. Do not touch the capacitor or its terminals, and do not open the microwave cabinet, unless you are trained to do so. Unplugging the microwave does not make this circuit safe. A technician will normally unplug the unit, safely discharge the capacitor, and note the wiring before removal. Match the replacement's capacitance, voltage rating, and terminal layout to the original, mount it securely in the same bracket position, reconnect the wiring as it was, and confirm all covers are back in place before powering the microwave.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave runs but doesn't heat — is the capacitor the problem?
A failed high-voltage capacitor is one common cause of a microwave that runs but doesn't heat. Other high-voltage parts, such as the diode and the magnetron, can cause the same symptom, so a technician will usually test them together before replacing parts.
Is it safe to replace this myself?
We recommend a qualified service technician install this part. A microwave capacitor can retain a lethal electrical charge even when the microwave is unplugged, and the high-voltage circuit is dangerous to work around without the right training and tools.
Can I use a capacitor with a different capacitance or voltage?
No. Use the same rating as your original. This listing is a 1.05 µF, 2100 VAC capacitor. A 1.0 µF capacitor (13QBP21100) is a different part and is not a substitute.
What's included in the order?
1 high-voltage capacitor. It does not include a diode, fuse, or other components.

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.
