Step 1: Unplug the Refrigerator
Before beginning any repair, be sure to unplug the refrigerator. To do this, locate the plug on the wall and use a screwdriver to loosen the screws that hold it in place. Once the plug is removed, the refrigerator will no longer be receiving power.
Step 2: Remove the Back Panel
The back panel of the refrigerator must be removed in order to access and replace the W10897719 Whirlpool Ice Maker Water Inlet Valve. To remove the back panel, use a screwdriver to loosen the screws that hold it in place. Once the screws are removed, carefully pull the panel away from the refrigerator.
Step 3: Locate the Water Inlet Valve
Once the back panel is removed, you should be able to easily locate the W10897719 Whirlpool Ice Maker Water Inlet Valve. There will be two hoses connected to the valve, one supplying it with water and the other leading to the ice maker.
Step 4: Disconnect the Hoses
Now that you have located the valve, you can begin the replacement process by disconnecting the hoses that are connected to it. Use a pair of pliers to carefully detach the hoses from the valve. Be sure not to damage the hoses or the valve.
Step 5: Remove the Old Valve
Once the hoses have been disconnected, the old valve can be removed. Use a wrench to loosen the screws holding the valve in place. After the screws have been removed, you can carefully pull the valve out of the refrigerator.
Step 6: Install the New Valve
Next, you can install the new W10897719 Whirlpool Ice Maker Water Inlet Valve. Place the valve into position and use a wrench to tighten the screws that hold it in place. Make sure that the valve is properly secured before continuing.
Step 7: Reconnect the Hoses
Once the new valve has been successfully installed, you can reconnect the hoses to it. Use the pliers to securely attach the hoses to the valve. Be careful not to over-tighten the connection as this may damage the hose.
Step 8: Replace the Back Panel
Once the hoses are connected, you can reattach the back panel of the refrigerator. Line up the panel with the holes in the refrigerator and use a screwdriver to secure it in place.
Step 9: Restore Power to the Refrigerator
After the back panel has been replaced, you can plug the refrigerator back into the wall. Once the plug has been secured, the refrigerator will be receiving power again and the W10897719 Whirlpool Ice Maker Water Inlet Valve replacement is complete.
Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
