Product review (1 stars): Flood risk
We have an old Kenmore refrigerator.  The original water/icemaker solenoid valve lasted many years, then one day sprung a leak--water sprayed out of the valve itself.  It was easy to replace with one of these.  However, after about a year, the new valve did not close after filling a glass with water.  Because someone was present to turn off the water supply, little damage was done.  It was replaced with this one in Nov 2014.  On 18 Feb 2015, water began to pour out of the freezer compartment, where the icemaker is.  Fortunately, someone was standing in the kitchen, but several gallons of water leaked out before the supply could be shut off.  So, two of these valves failed in the same way--open, spraying water.  I took them apart (I had saved the old valve in my junk box) and discovered that rubber washers inside had fallen off the pegs which hold them onto plastic  discs which are activated by the solenoids. (The washers have center holes.)  Both washers were deformed.  This valve seems poorly designed and constructed, and it was just dumb luck that someone was present both times they failed, preventing major flooding.
