Product review (5 stars): PERFECT FIX AND VALVE REPLACEMENT FOR LG REFRIGERATOR
Our 4 year old LG french door refrigerator (2009) had a leak, water pooling in the front. Good - caught the leak, bad - some water damage to wood. Pulled the refrigerator out from the wall, cleaned all the dust to accurately track the leak which was the valve (part number was on the valve). Not able to purchase a new valve in our area (found out they wanted $80 for one) so shut off water and ordered part. Very easy to install (see youtube video) - unplug appliance, secure water, clean area/vacuum coils, unscrew old valve, remove wire lead, remove water inlet tube, remove water outlet tube (by first removing retaining clip); reverse order installation. Run about 2 gallons of water through system to check workings and check for any leaks. Perfect part and fit! Saved $40 on the part and about $200 on a repairman service call. Dissatisfied that a $2000 LG refrigerator would use a critical water valve that broke and leaked in 4 years. Water damage could have been serious if gone unnoticed.
