Product review (5 stars): perfect fit for my Kenmore Elite
FYI.....THIS WILL HELP ....  TO REMOVE YOUR WATER LINES from your old Water Valve.... you must PUSH DOWN on the locking mechanism AND THEN PULL UP on the water line (my natural tendency was to try to pull up on the locking collar).  I also tried the "push the line down and pull up again" as another reviewer suggested, too no avail.  Most others said, "Just cut your lines and reinsert them in the new valve."

Knowing that cutting would make my lines too short, I figured I would break apart the valve with "channel locks" to free my lines.  But upon further searching, I FINALLY FOUND this solution and I was surprised how easily they released.

This is a great product and the packaging leads me to believe that it is also a genuine part, not an aftermarket brand.

Mine broke as a result of moving the fridge in freezing cold weather, should of listened to mom warning me of that.  But I thought "Nah, won't happen, cause I'll be quick."  So $50 later, I can unfortunately say, "Once again, mom knew best!"
