Product review (5 stars): Works Great
Had problems with the icemaker on our 14 year old Kenmore refrigerator: first the ice cubes gradually came out 'hollow', then smaller, then it stopped working altogether. My first thought was it was the icemaker, so I replaced that...still no ice. Further research indicated the next possible cause was the water inlet valve (this item). This one is a little different than the OEM part that came with the fridge; it has a quick-insert connector instead of a threaded one for the main water inlet, which made installation even easier. The hardest part was moving the fridge away from the wall. We now have a like-new icemaker with solid cubes.
