Description
Restore proper water flow to your refrigerator’s dispenser and ice-maker system with the OEM water inlet valve WR57X10024 from GE Appliances. This valve controls water entry into the refrigerator’s system, particularly when your model has a water or ice dispenser. Because inlet valves differ by model and year (tube size, mounting bracket, coil ratings), please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that WR57X10024 matches your appliance’s full model number and that the valve itself is indeed the failed component before placing your order. geapplianceparts.com+2geappliances.com+2
Features & Benefits
-
OEM quality part, designed to GE’s original specification for direct fit and optimal performance. geapplianceparts.com
-
Dual solenoid coil design: includes two solenoids (for two water paths) and three push-in tubing connectors (two for ¼" tubing, one for 5/16" tubing) to match water/ice dispensers. amazon.com
-
Enables correct water delivery to ice maker and water dispenser, helping avoid issues like poor water flow, no water, or flooding due to valve failure.
-
Helps avoid more costly repairs by replacing the valve rather than the entire dispenser or door module.
-
Straightforward replacement when compatibility is verified—technician or qualified DIYer can remove old valve, disconnect water supply and wiring, install new valve, and test system.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The water dispenser or ice maker produces no water, even though the supply line, filter and connections appear intact.
-
The dispenser dribbles water slowly, or stops midway—often indicating valve solenoid or flow path is compromised.
-
You notice constant or intermittent flooding beneath the fridge – the inlet valve may be stuck open or leaking.
-
The control board or service code indicates inadequate water flow or pressure but the filter has been changed and tubing is clear—valve may be the cause.
If you see any of these symptoms, have your maintenance technician verify the valve is the root issue (rather than a clogged filter, frozen line, or dispenser board) before ordering.
Compatible / Partial Model Notes
-
WR57X10024 is listed as a water inlet valve for many GE refrigerators with built-in water/ice dispensers. geapplianceparts.com
-
Because fridge models vary widely (by production year, region, door style, dispenser type), the list of specific compatible models is extensive. Always check the full model number on the appliance and compare with the parts diagram.
-
If your refrigerator has a water dispenser or ice maker and the valve configuration (tube size, connector layout) matches this part’s spec, it’s likely compatible.
Cross Reference
-
Replacement or equivalent part numbers: AP2071736 and PS304366 are cited equivalents for WR57X10024 in several parts listings.
-
Some older models may list earlier part numbers like WR62X… for similar function; use the full model number to confirm correct valve version.
Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the full appliance model number (including suffix letters) is essential—even if the old valve looks identical, tube size, coil rating or mounting can vary. geappliances.com
-
Replacing the valve will fix flow issues only if the underlying hardware (filter, tubing, dispenser board) is in good condition. If the root issue is elsewhere, valve replacement alone may not restore full function.
-
During installation: shut off water supply, unplug appliance (or turn off power), drain residual water from lines, remove old valve carefully, install new valve with correct orientation, reconnect tubing and electrical connectors, turn on water supply and test for leaks and proper flow.
-
After installation, run the dispenser to purge air and debris, check that water flows at expected rate, and monitor over next 24 hours for proper performance.
