Description
Water pooling under your refrigerator? Ice maker or water dispenser quit?
One of the most common culprits is a failed water inlet valve — and it’s an easy, affordable fix you can do yourself. This is the genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (WPW10498976) — the part that controls water flow to your fridge’s ice maker and dispenser. When it cracks, sticks, or leaks, you’ll get water dripping behind or under the refrigerator, no water at the dispenser, or an ice maker that’s stopped producing.
💡 Heads up: your “Kenmore” is really a Whirlpool
Kenmore has never built its own appliances — Sears simply branded refrigerators made by Whirlpool, Maytag, and others. If your model number starts with 596 or 106, you have a Whirlpool-built fridge — which is exactly why this Whirlpool valve also fits Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, and Ikea models. They’re the same refrigerator under different badges, and they use the same parts.
