Water Inlet Valve Replacement

What Water Inlet Valve Replacement Involves

The water inlet valve connects an ice maker's water line to the household supply and opens electrically to fill the mold at the start of each cycle. A failed valve stops the ice maker from filling at all, or fills it slowly enough to produce small or hollow cubes, and a valve that leaks internally can cause water to drip into the unit between cycles. Replacement involves shutting off the water supply, disconnecting the old valve, and installing and testing a new one rated for the specific ice maker.

How San Marcos Appliance Repair Handles It

Diagnosed by Certified Technicians

A technician evaluating the water inlet valve on this repair holds NASTeC certification in appliance service and repair and an EPA Section 608 certification for refrigerant handling, required for work on this sealed cooling system, trained through MiraCosta College's Technology Career Institute or San Diego College of Continuing Education (SDCCE) before joining the team led by founder and Master Appliance Repair Technician Francisco Ortega, who has run San Marcos Appliance Repair since 2006. That training is what backs the 90-day parts-and-labor warranty on every water inlet valve replacement repair, backed by our licensed and insured guarantee.
