Water Valve and Flowmeter
The water valve is located inside the left-side
refrigerator door. Models with Precise Fill and Auto
Fill utilize a
fl
owmeter that is connected to the inlet
of the water valve. The water valve supplies water
to the icemaker and dispenser. Each coil on the
water valve has an approximate resistance value
of 400
Ω
. It is necessary to remove the access
panel to replace the water valve and
fl
owmeter. The
procedure to remove the water valve on GE/Adora
models is similar.
To remove the water valve and fl owmeter:
1. Remove the tank inlet tubing from the water
valve. (See
Water Tank
, step 1 thru 3.)
2. Using
a
fl
at blade screwdriver, push the plastic
lock clip off the icemaker water outlet coupling.
3. Carefully push the collar in while pulling the
water line out from the coupling.
Note:
Lock clips must be reinstalled to prevent leaks.
After the water line is removed from the connector,
the lock clip can be reinstalled on the connector. The
water line can then be inserted with the clip in place.
4. Disconnect the valve wire harness.
5. Remove the two 5/16-in. hex-head screws that
attach the valve to the refrigerator.

Isolation Water Valve
The isolation valve supplies water to the
fi
lter. The
valve prevents the
fi
lter from being under constant
house water pressure.
The isolation valve is operated by the main control
board. The valve coil has an approximate resistance
value of 415
Ω
.
The isolation water valve is located in the machine
compartment and to the right of the condenser.
To remove the isolation water valve:
1. Remove the machine compartment cover. (See
Machine Compartment Cover
.)
2. Shut off water supply to refrigerator, then
remove the 1/2-in. nut that attaches the water
supply line to the isolation water valve.
3. Remove the 1/4-in. hex-head screw and valve
from the cabinet.
