Description
Restore reliable water flow to your refrigerator’s dispenser, ice-maker or water line with the genuine OEM water inlet valve kit part number 12001892 from Whirlpool. This valve supplies water into the system and is essential for ice production, water dispensing, and proper refrigerator hydration. Because valve assemblies vary across brands, models and production years, 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 failed component. maytagreplacementparts.com+2grainger.com+2
Features & Benefits
-
Genuine OEM part built to Whirlpool’s specification for secure fit and proper water flow. hdsupplysolutions.com+1
-
Dual-inlet/solenoid design: Provides water supply control for both ice maker and dispenser functions in one unit.
-
Designed to restore proper operation across water/ice systems: Helps fix issues with no water, slow flow, no ice production or leaks.
-
Durable construction for long-term use: Using the correct valve avoids improper replacements that may fail prematurely.
-
Cost-effective repair: Replacing only the valve is usually far less expensive than replacing the entire dispenser or water system assembly.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The water dispenser yields no water or very slow water flow, despite the water supply and filter being clear.
-
The ice maker produces little or no ice, or stops producing altogether — often a sign the inlet valve isn’t supplying water.
-
You notice water leaking around the valve, under the refrigerator, or puddling inside the compartment.
-
The valve is visibly corroded, cracked, frozen, malfunctioning or you’ve tested it and found loss of solenoid function.
If any of these symptoms are present, your maintenance technician should verify valve 12001892 is the correct model for your unit and that upstream issues (filter, supply line, control board) are not the root cause.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the entire model number, including suffixes and production details, is critical — even if the old valve looks identical, water connection size, solenoid voltage or mounting may differ.
-
Replacing the valve addresses water supply issues only — if water filter, tubing, dispenser mechanism or control board are faulty, replacing the valve alone may not restore full function. Technician diagnosis is recommended.
-
Installation should be performed with the refrigerator unplugged and water supply shut off, drain residual water, remove the old valve, install the new valve with correct hose/tube connections, secure all fittings, restore water and test for leaks and proper operation.
