XPARTCO W10498976 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve Replaces WPW10498976
The XPARTCO W10498976 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator water inlet valve assembly compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore, and Ikea bottom-freezer and French door refrigerators in the WRB, WRF, MBF, GX5, GB9, GB2, and related series. The water inlet valve is a solenoid-operated valve mounted on the back of the refrigerator that controls the flow of water from the household supply line to the ice maker and, on models with a door dispenser, to the water dispenser. When the solenoid coil burns out or the valve seat becomes clogged with mineral deposits, the ice maker stops producing ice, the water dispenser stops working, water trickles weakly, or water leaks from the valve body.
Rated 120V, 50/60Hz, 35W solenoid, this valve measures 3-1/2"L x 2-3/4"W x 3"H and includes the valve body and mounting bracket. It connects via 1/4" inlet fitting to the household supply line and uses push-in tube fittings on the outlet side. It directly replaces WPW10498976, W10420082, W10498974, K-78200, K-78186, 2684516, 2315508, IMV-576, AP6022334, EAP11755667, PD00024636, PS11755667, WP2315576, and WV8047. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10498976 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve fixes Whirlpool-family bottom-freezer and French door refrigerators where the ice maker is not making ice, the water dispenser is not working or producing only a trickle, or water is leaking from the back of the refrigerator. 120V/50-60Hz/35W solenoid, 3-1/2"L x 2-3/4"W x 3"H, includes bracket. 1/4" inlet connection. Replaces WPW10498976, W10420082, W10498974, K-78200, 2684516, AP6022334, PS11755667. Compatible with Whirlpool WRB/WRF, Maytag MBF, KitchenAid, Kenmore, and Ikea.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Ice maker not producing ice or producing very small cubes due to insufficient water supply
Water dispenser not working — no water flows when the lever or button is pressed
Water dispenser producing only a trickle — valve partially blocked or solenoid weakening
Water leaking from behind the refrigerator near the water valve
Ice maker fills but overflows — valve stuck open and not closing properly
Humming sound near the back of the refrigerator when requesting ice or water — solenoid energized but valve not opening
No water reaching the refrigerator despite supply line being connected and pressurized

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.

W10717210 Dryer Lint Screen
Description: This lint screen is a replacement part compatible with specific Whirlpool manufactured dryer models. Located inside the air exhaust duct, it safely captures and contains stray lint before it escapes the dryer cabinet and ventilation system. The dual-layer screen traps built-up lint clumps during drying cycles through its precisely laid meshing. This prevents potentially dangerous lint accumulation elsewhere over time from multiple loads of laundry.
