The 3-way valve is located beneath the main
control board in the machine compartment and
is accessed from the back of the refrigerator. It
is composed of a magnetic coil and a valve
body. Two ¼-in. hex-head screws mount the
valve to the cabinet.
• Make certain that rubber gaskets are
installed on mounting bracket to re
duce vibration.
• Three copper tubes connect to the 3-
way valve.
• One jumper tube connects from the
drier to the inlet on the valve.
• A freezer capillary and a fresh food
capillary connect to the other two
tubes on the valve.
3-Way Valve Coil
The 3-way valve coil receives 12 VDC pulses
from the main board to change the position of
the valve. The pulses come too quickly to
measure with a volt meter.
The 3-way valve coil has a resistance value of
approximately 46 ohms that can be measured
between the coil pins.
