Description
Description
Restore proper water flow to your refrigerator’s dispenser and ice-maker system with the genuine OEM water inlet valve assembly WR57X10023 from GE. This valve controls the water entry into the refrigerator’s water/ice/dispense system and is engineered to match GE’s specification for performance and durability. Because inlet valves differ by model and year (tube size, mount bracket, solenoid ratings), please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that this part number matches your appliance’s full model number and that the valve is indeed the failing component prior to ordering. geapplianceparts.com+2geappliances.com+2

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The water dispenser produces no water or very slow water flow, despite the filter and supply line being clear. Repair Clinic+1
-
The ice maker produces little or no ice—often indicating the inlet valve isn’t supplying enough water.
-
You detect water leaking at the back of the refrigerator near the valve area or dripping under the appliance.
-
The valve is visibly corroded, cracked or frozen, or you’ve tested it and found no continuity or the solenoid isn’t activating.
If you observe any of these, ask the maintenance technician to verify that WR57X10023 is the correct part and that upstream issues (filter, tubing, dispenser board) aren’t the root cause.
Compatible (Partial) Model Notes
This part is listed by GE under “Refrigerator water valve assembly – WR57X10023”. geappliances.com+1
Because refrigerator models vary in design (door style, dispenser type, production year), it’s critical to verify the full appliance model number (found on the service tag inside the unit) before ordering.
Cross Reference

Ensure that any alternate number you may find is truly compatible before assuming equivalence.
Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the appliance’s full model number (including suffix letters) is essential—even if the old valve physically looks the same, features like tubing connection size, bracket mounting or solenoid coil specs may differ.
-
Replacing the valve will address water supply issues only if the rest of the system is in good condition: filter, supply tubing, dispenser control, and ice maker must also be functioning. A technician check is recommended.
-
Installation: Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power, shut off the water supply, remove the old valve assembly, carefully attach the new valve with correct tubing/inlet connections, restore water and power, purge the system of air, and monitor for proper water flow and no leaks.
