Product review (5 stars): I replaced this valve and the problem is cured and the ice maker works like it should
The ice maker would freeze up the water input tube and no water would enter the ice maker. Took it apart and thawed the ice out of the input tube  numerous times but in a few days it would refreeze solid again. I then insulated the input tube with no success as I thought the exterior air flow on the tube for some reason was causing the freeze up. I finally found a video on Youtube showing that if the water valve seeps/leaks a small amount of water, over time it will build up a frozen ice layer that builds up until the input tube is full of ice and no water makes it to the ice maker. I replaced this valve and the problem is cured and the ice maker works like it should. The kit had all of the parts needed. It fits quite a few different configurations so there is a bag of extra fittings and adapters. It took about 30 minutes to compete the change over using basic wrenches and nut driver/small socket set and it has been in for 1.5 months and is working good. Saved a lot of $$ and my wife is very pleased.
