Title	Whirlpool Refrigerator Inlet Valve Assembly Replacement
Introduction	Use this guide to replace the inlet valve assembly in your Whirlpool Refrigerator. The inlet valve assembly is an electrically-controlled mechanical valve that opens to supply water to the dispenser and icemaker. If your refrigerator isn't making ice or dispensing water properly, your inlet valve assembly might be broken. ***This guide will work for most Whirlpool refrigerators.*** This guide is written with a model WRS315SDHW refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same. ***Note:*** Some photos show the doors removed for clarity purposes. Removing them is not required and will not change the procedure.
