Description
Description
Restore reliable water/ice dispensing in your refrigerator with the OEM solenoid assembly part WR62X107 from GE Appliances. This solenoid controls the valve mechanism of the dispenser system in refrigerators with external water/ice features. Because dispenser valve assemblies vary across models, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm this part number matches your appliance’s full model number and that the solenoid is indeed the faulty component. geapplianceparts.com+1
Features & Benefits
-
OEM-specified solenoid: Ensures correct fit and function for refrigerators that list WR62X107. geapplianceparts.com+1
-
Reliable switching: Turns on/off the dispenser valve as commanded, helping maintain proper water or ice delivery.
-
Helps resolve common dispenser issues: When the valve fails to actuate, replacing the solenoid often restores proper function.
-
Durable construction built for appliance service life: Suitable for the original system design.
-
Installation cost-effective: Replacing the solenoid is typically much less than replacing the entire dispenser assembly.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The dispenser lever is pressed, motor or controls may run, but no water or ice is dispensed — pointing to a solenoid that may not be actuating.
-
The valve remains open or drips after dispenser use, suggesting the solenoid is stuck or leaking.
-
The dispenser intermittently works — perhaps the solenoid is failing intermittently or heat-stressed.
-
Visual inspection reveals corrosion, burn marks, or loose wiring at the solenoid terminal.
If you notice any of these symptoms, have your technician verify that WR62X107 is the correct part and the solenoid is indeed the cause of the issue.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the full refrigerator model number (including suffix letters) is critical—though the solenoid may look similar, mounting bracket, valve port size or connector type can differ.
-
Replacing the solenoid will restore the valve function only if associated wiring, control board, and valve body are functioning. If the dispenser valve itself is damaged or blocked, simply replacing the solenoid may not fix the problem.
-
Installation generally involves shutting off the water supply, unplugging power, removing the dispenser assembly housing, unplugging the old solenoid, and installing the new one. Ensure correct orientation and seatings of the valve.
-
After installation, restore water/drink service, run the dispenser a few times to flush air or debris, and check for proper operation and no leaks.
