  • Absolutely acceptable quality for the price.

    Absolutely acceptable quality for the price. This is the second one I purchase. Usually, this type lasts around three years (based on my frequency of use and water amount). Replacing is very easy and takes 10-15 minutes max. Fortunately, it shows signs of deterioration long before it fails completely - when you try filling more than one container one by one it stops opening the valve after first or second one; you need to wait a minute before it starts working again. There may be more expensive models, but to my experience, I would prefer to have a new one installed every three years for the price of two Starbucks' visits rather than regret wasted money if a much more expensive model starts failing within the same period of time.

  • Fits Kenmore Coldspot Elite Model 50594003

    This W104008179 valve/solenoid fit and worked perfectly for my Kenmore Coldspot Elite side-by-side refrigerator model 50594003 replacing part number 2205762 (valve/solenoid). I drilled out the rivet between main water connection (vs prying with a screw driver) and that worked well. One problem I had (not with the valve/solenoid) was that the O-rings at my water filter connection started to leak after inadvertently pulling on the hoses to replace the valve/solenoid. As such, I had to make a trip to Ace Hardware to get two new O-rings. The two O-rings were 1/2 x 5/16 x 3/32 (#83) and 7/16 x 1/4 x 3/32 (#780). That fixed the water filter hoses leak. I hope that helps.

  • Quality fit and quality construction/price.

    Great product. Quality and all required components to provide a full proof installation. Even came with Extra plastic water line, clips for the water line connectors. Highly recommended and great price, OEM quality !!

  • Perfect fit.

    This is a remove and install item, doesn't need any special configuration or set up, you'll need a screwdriver and a cuter for the hoses, I changed it myself in my fridge in less than an hour, absolutely compatible with the original one. Just cut the hoses as near to the old valve as possible and insert them in the new valve (be sure to push them hard enough to fit in the o ring and lock, all included inside the valve) , be sure to remove one by one and connect in the correct hole, the same with the electric connectors, that's it..!

  • Don't Buy a Used Part For This Application

    I thought I would try a used part to fix my ice maker solenoid problem since it was inexpensive (about $15) and was about 1/3 the cost of a new part. This part has 4 tubing connection points and after much effort including replacing the elbow of the supplied part with the one from my old part I finally got 2 of the 4 to not leak. Since I modified the suppliers part by using the elbow from my old part to try to fix the leaking problem, I did not pursue any corrective action from the part supplier. I simply bought a new part and it quickly fixed my ice maker problem. Considering this experience, I would recommend not buying a used solenoid valve part ever. But if feel you must give a used part a try in order to save money, I have no problem with the supplier of my part. The part description was accurate, the price was reasonable and the used part arrived timely.

  • Not thoroughly checking problem

    Product made no real major change in the performance of my refrigerator. The slow water and water in the pan below refrigerator my be another issue. I can’t blame my current refrigerator problems on the new water valve. The problem is probably on me for not thoroughly checking everything. All in all, this is a good product.

  • Replacement Valve

    I needed to replace a bad valve, so I went to ebay for a good price. I found a valve at a great price and no shipping close to where I live. I ordered the valve, and it came in two day. The valve was a great direct fit, just like the factory one that went bad. Thanks for great and easy deal.

  • Exact replacement, easy install

    The hardest part of installing this is pulling the refrigerator out to get at the part to install it. I recommend taking the time to clean the cooling coils in the back of the refrigerator while you have it opened up. The instructions seemed a little confusing to me so I just looked at them for a couple of questions I had and installed it without them for the most part.
