NEW Water valve ONLY / Robertshaw / INVENSYS OEM Whirlpool #W10498974 120V

Description: From this listing you will receive ONE water valve as shown in 1st picture. (You must provide all tubing and fittings).Should you need the fittings and tubing, I do have another listing that includes them (please see sellers other items). Whirlpool single water valve for ice makers installed in refrigerators (top mount or bottom mounts). The solenoid is 115/120 volt operated (standard) & this valve delivers 125 to 150 cc (ml) = 3.5 to 4 ounces of water in approx 6 to 8 seconds ( assuming an adequate potable water supply of at least 30psi ). This will work on all 7 & 8 cube ice makers WITH metal mold (= where ice is formed) regardless of brand. NOTE: Be certain to keep all tubing & electrical wiring clear of hot objects (such as compressor & it's discharge line) & moving parts (such as rotating fan blades). Solenoid coil has 1/4 inch flag terminals Item is NEW (never used or installed). It is as described & being sold AS IS. These came out of NEW Whirlpool icemaker add-on kits! Are made by Robertshaw and INVENSYS This genuine OEM (W10498974) is the exact water valve you will receive! (NO SUBSTITUTIONS HERE)! You get what you pay for! This unit is the water valve only To remove outlet tubing from valve, evenly PUSH yellow ring towards solenoid and while holding it in that position simply pull tubing from valve. To insert outlet tubing into valve (have a clean razor cut end) and PUSH into valve outlet firmly until it bottoms into "O"ring seal. For all 7 & 8 cube icemakers requiring a single water valve (for refrigerators that only have an icemaker). (NOT for ice & water dispenser thru the door featured models that require either: dual water valves, double dual water valves, OR triple water valve setups). How to details = Can be used for most household refrigerator 7&8 cube icemakers needing a single type water valve (considerations are mounting and routing/placement of electrical lead wires & plastic water tubing lines). Keep valve & plastic tubing away from hot items such as compressor and its' discharge line, keep away from moving parts such as condenser fan blades. DO NOT place/route electrical lead wires where they can be pinched or where rub/abrasions migh occur. Shipping ONLY to lower 48 states; & is $6.00 via USPS Ground Advantage. Having trouble with enough ice production? try these tips >>>> #1 you must get a full fill each cycle; if you have a 7 or 8 cube icemaker tray they all must be full; most icemakers will harvest about every 1.5 to 2 hours per cycle (you must keep refrigerator doors closed because FREEZER temperature of 0ºF to + 8ºF is CRITICAL to ice production. #2 nearly all domestic icemakers in refrigerators require a MINIMUM of 30psi water supply for proper flow AND to get a positive shut-off (an internally leaking Wv although slow will/can cause freezing of the fill tube nozzle and once this happens then ALL ice production stops until it is manually thawed/cleared = it will NOT clear itself (40 to 65 psi is MUCH better). #3 check ALL incoming water filters both external (supply water lines leading to refrigerator AND internally within the refrigerator). A WORD ABOUT RO SYSTEMS = Reverse Osmosis: Here is a little known fact, since RO systems operate on a pressure differential they inheriently deliver only approx 2/3rds of the supplied house pressure so, for an example if you have 60psi incoming then the best you can expect is 40psi coming out and that is when the unit is new and all filters are in top operational mode (clean) and it goes DOWN from there! I do not believe you can get a better quality of water purity than an RO system and I have one in my home BUT know this * they require maintainence and they offer a reduction in their outgoing pressure which in some cases can negatively affect certain products. It is NOT recommended to use BOTH an RO system + any other filter be it internal or external on an icemaker installation. IF both are used together it can offer such HIGH RESISTANCE to the flow of water it can cause a multitude of problems for an icemaker = it can cause cubes to be too small and this (because of their reduced size) could cause the cubes to try to re-enter the mold (where cubes are formed and cannot jump the stripper to be delivered into ice bucket/container ) due to a lack of water flow which then in turn cause the cubes to get hung up upon trying to re-enter and sometimes even breaking the stripper bar. Once they get hung up there all ice production stops until you manually chip the cubes and are clear once again for the unit to cycle. *** If you have 40 psi incoming water pressure to your house then the RO sys will be limited to about 26 to 28 psi output which is BELOW the minimum requirement of most water valve manufacturers for proper operation and longevity. I have lots of parts for icemakers, many good used and a wide selection so if in need ask a question.
