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

KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerators — select models
Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper side-by-side refrigerators — select Whirlpool-built models
Kenmore / Sears side-by-side refrigerators — select Whirlpool-built models
Important — This Is the SECONDARY Valve, Not the Primary: Many Whirlpool-platform side-by-side refrigerators use TWO water inlet valves: a primary valve (typically W10238100 / WPW10238100) where the household water line enters the refrigerator, and this dual secondary valve (W10341320) that splits flow between the dispenser and the ice maker. If your primary valve is functioning correctly but you're still not getting water or ice, the secondary valve is the likely culprit. Before ordering, confirm which valve your refrigerator's parts diagram calls for at the position you're replacing. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

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.

Genuine OEM ADQ73913310 Refrigerator Water Filter Housing Assembly
The Genuine OEM LG ADQ73913310 is the water filter housing assembly for select LG refrigerators. LG lists it as "Filter Assembly, Water." It is the housing, not the replaceable filter cartridge. The assembly includes the water reservoir that holds water for the dispenser, the filter head that secures the water filter, the water inlet valve, tube connectors, and the water reservoir cover. If the water dispenser isn't working properly, a faulty filter assembly may be the cause.
This is the original LG part, not an aftermarket equivalent. The replacement water filter cartridge is a separate part and is not included, so check your model number before ordering.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM ADQ73913310 Water Filter Housing Assembly replaces the water reservoir, filter head, inlet valve, tube connectors, and cover on a compatible LG refrigerator whose filter housing is damaged, leaking, or not working. Does not include the filter cartridge. Classic symptom: the water dispenser isn't working properly, or the filter area leaks.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Water dispenser not working properly
Leak at the water filter housing
Damaged filter head or reservoir cover

Is this the water filter cartridge?
No. This is the housing assembly that holds the filter: the reservoir, filter head, inlet valve, tube connectors, and cover. The replaceable water filter cartridge is a separate part.
My water dispenser isn't working properly. Is this the part I need?
A faulty filter assembly is one possible cause. Before replacing it, check the water supply, the filter cartridge, and whether the filter is seated correctly. If the housing, valve, or connectors are damaged or leaking, replacing the assembly is the repair.

This is a genuine OEM part from LG, not an aftermarket equivalent.

W11175771 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Valve
The W11175771 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Magic Chef, and Inglis dishwashers, located behind the lower kick plate panel in either the right or left corner. This valve controls the flow of water into the appliance during the wash cycle — an electrical solenoid plunger opens and closes the valve to admit exactly the right amount of water at the appropriate stages of the dishwasher's cycle.
Measuring approximately 3.37" in height, this is a superseding part, replacing the earlier W10872255 and W11130744 valve numbers so older models can be updated with the current version. Over time, a screen inside the valve can become clogged with sediment — this screen isn't designed to be cleaned or serviced, so a clog means the whole valve needs to be replaced. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the dishwasher not filling with enough water or not filling at all, leaking into the dishwasher while not in use, or overfilling with too much water. It directly replaces AP6339872, W10195047, W10327250, W10872255, W11130744, W10327249, W10316814, and W11130743.
Quick Answer
The W11175771 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Valve fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Magic Chef, and Inglis dishwashers that aren't filling with water, are leaking, or are overfilling. Located behind the lower kick plate panel. Replaces AP6339872, W10195047, W10327250, W10872255, W11130744, W10327249, W10316814, W11130743. While the dishwasher is disassembled for this repair, consider also checking or replacing the water supply adapter, since it's in the same area and easy to inspect at the same time.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishwasher not filling with enough water, or not filling at all
Water leaking into the dishwasher while it's not in use
Dishwasher overfilling with too much water
High-pitched whining sound while the dishwasher is filling
Poor washing results or an error code related to water fill

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the bottom front kick plate to access the interior, where the valve is located behind the panel in either the right or left corner depending on your model. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the water line, the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws securing the old valve, then pull it free. Install the new W11175771 in the same position, securely reconnect the water line and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screws. While you're in this area, it's worth inspecting the water supply adapter for wear, since it's a related part in the same location that's easy to check while everything is already accessible. Reinstall the kick plate, restore the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the dishwasher fills correctly with no leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher isn't filling with water at all. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits water from your household supply into the dishwasher, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent any water from entering at all, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding.
Can I just clean the valve's screen instead of replacing the whole thing?
No — the screen inside this valve isn't designed to be cleaned or serviced. If it becomes clogged with sediment from your household water supply, the entire valve should be replaced rather than attempting to clean or repair the screen itself.
My dishwasher makes a high-pitched whining sound while filling. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a failing water inlet valve. One customer specifically traced an "obnoxious high-pitched whining sound when filling with water" to this exact valve and resolved it with a straightforward replacement in about 15 minutes.
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 solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your dishwasher.
