I need only water inlet valve for my Kenmore
For model number 59672383410
Hello Reginald, thank you for your inquiry. There are two water inlet valves in your model. The water inlet valves are part number FIX11738056, and FIX11753251. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week!
My current inlet valve has the extra inlet valve to connect to the incoming water line to direct the inlet water to the filtration unit. It appears to be the same as the unit that was shown on your YouTube video on Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair -How to replace the water inlet valve 9 at 3:42 min. It is not the same as FIX3497634.
Please advise.
For model number KSRS25IKBT01
Hello Leo, thank you for your inquiry. We have researched and found that the water inlet valve you mentioned is the same and fits your model. We hope this information helps!

After immediately closing the water supply valve, I looked over the system and decided to look online and found Part Select.

I simply followed the exact video instructions and was done in 30 minutes tops.

Had to make adjustments for variances between the 2 parts. Not particularly difficult just some adjustments. Problem still exists where refill water come into the ice maker, about 6 - 8 drops of water drop into the ice cube box causing icy chunks to form. This is improved over previous condition but needs corrected.
Took the screw that was holding it on to the refrigerator out unplugged the two plug ends, took the water lines out. Hooked the water lines, plugs on the new one, screwed the unit back on to the fridge & presto your done.
VALVE WAS VERY EASY TO INSTALL, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SO I ORDERED THE ICE MAKER ITSELF. TOOK 5 DAYS TO GET THAT, BUT WHEN I GOT IT, IT WAS VERY EASY TO INSTALL. THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM, AND I NOW HAVE ICE.

I wasn't sure where the kitchen leak came from--there was so much water it ran into adjacent rooms! After mopping it all up I found it had stopped leaking. I really just guessed that it was from the fridge since it started leaking by itself and then stopped by itself. My google research let me here again. (for the same fridge!). I looked
