The picture by "Buy-it-now-store" shows water valve Part#: 4318047 (which is exactly what I uninstalled from my Whirlpool fridge; see my pictures above or search for the video on youtube "Refrigerator Water Valve Repair Refrigerator Repair Help") but they sent me the Whirlpool 2315576 Valve-Inlet for Refrigerator.

Before getting upset I decided first to give it a try and... it worked. So, I didn't complain to the seller; their price was much lower ($18.21) than the Whirlpool's. It turned out to be a win-win situation for everybody.

Apparently Whirplool replaced some time in 2003 the old 4318047 with newer 2315576 because along with the installation instructions for the 4318047 (5/98) there was an insert from the company for the "Quick-Connect Single Water Valve" (6/03) explaining what to do in case I received either valve. I also got a small bag of add ons for the old valve. So, the two valves are interchangable and compatible with many refregirator models.

Still, in order to get a better idea on how to work with the new valve, I found and watched the video on youtube, which made the installation process a breeze [search for "Refrigerator Repair Replacing the Water Inlet Valve (Whirlpool Part# 4389177)"]. Enjoy the new valve :).

This looks to be a good quality replacement part, however the description makes it sound like it will work if you have ice and water in the door "ice maker and water valve" it only has one valve so it did not work for what I needed.It was cheap though so I was only out $10.00. The company I got it from said I could get a refund but it would cost $10.00 in shipping to return it, so I just kept it and put it in my parts bin in my garage, maybe my neighbor will need one someday.

I ordered this part not being sure it was what I actually needed to get my ice maker working again. I thought very strongly that my problem was with the old valve but was not 100% positive. After searching at my local big box hardware stores only to find that they only have these items available through their phone in parts department and at what I thought was a higher price than I wanted to pay, I searched Amazon and found this part. The part I was considering from the big box hardware phone in parts departments were priced at 3+ times as much as this valve here. The price they wanted was more than buying a whole new icemaker with all the parts included. I ordered this part, had it express shipped, received it two days later, installed it and had ice that evening! Installation was easy...I just looked at how to take the old one out and put this one right back in the exact same way. I have been using this part for over a month now and have had no problems at all and plenty of ice!!I highly recommend this part!!
