The Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (part number WPW10238100) is an essential component for ensuring your refrigerator provides clean water to both the ice maker and the water dispenser. For safe installation, ensure that the refrigerator is unplugged, and any perishable food items are appropriately stored to prevent spoilage. It is recommended to wear work gloves to protect your hands during the installation process. This part replaces the previous part number W10238100.
I trained my chinchilla to replace the part for me. It was harder to train the chinchilla than if I had just replaced it myself! Lesson learned!

Actual problem was leaky water inlet hose.

Since water hose needed to be replace, I also replaced the inlet water valve.
