The valve water outlet is 5/16" not 1/4" as stated in the product description. I think that 5/16" is likely the correct size for the part number it is meant to replace so this description error is probably not a problem for most purchasers. The valve appears to be of good quality and works fine, I expect it is a good choice when used as a direct replacement part. I have attached a photo of the label on the ERP W10394076 valve I received so you can see the manufacturer's part numbers.The valve water outlet size difference was a problem for me because I used this valve to replace a 2182104 (now 2315576) valve which has a 1/4" water outlet. Also, the new valve's mounting bracket angle is different, but the holes are the same spacing and it fits well enough that the difference wasn't a problem (for my fridge anyway). The water inlet and electrical connection are identical on both valves. I was able to make the new valve work for me by buying a 5/16" to 1/4" adapter and some 5/16" water line, and then using a short piece of the 5/16" line between the new valve's water outlet and the adapter. Then I discovered that the new valve also has a much higher flow rate than the original, enough higher that the icemaker fill adjustment couldn't deal with it and water would overflow the icemaker into the ice tray every cycle. I corrected this by closing the shutoff valve for the icemaker water line until it was only about 1/8 of a turn open. Although it wasn't really necessary, because my icemaker shutoff is in the basement, I inserted a 1/4" manual valve (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07GDFWB8R because I like its small handle and locking nut) in the water line between the electric valve and the icemaker so I could adjust the water flow rate at the back of the fridge.It turns out that, although it can be done, using this 10394076 valve to replace a 2315576 valve is not a particularly good idea as the extra parts required to make it work add complication and expense. Also, the valve mounting bracket angle is not identical which might be an issue in some cases.

This part worked great for my refrigerator. It saved me a lot of money not having to get some overpriced service guy to come over and do an easy task.

I just went to YouTube to install.. Had to replace it.. I had to move the refrigerator because we were doing kitchen remodeling.. And I think it twicked the bottom hose slow leak.. So far so good.. Can't beat the pri¢e🤞.. If not saved the old piece just incase, plumbers tape might help around the hose?.. But everything working and no leaks 🤐

This part was almost perfect. It needed a slight modification which was accomplished with a tiny twist. The ice maker intake valve is now working and there's no leak

I bought this product in April of 2020 to fix a water leak in the factory valve/ manifold part. Install was straight forward. As it’s known where many of these cheap aftermarket parts come from- heed this advice- set a reminder to re- inspect this valve annually! The replacement part lasted 3yrs, 1mo. Woke up this morning to a slippery mess in my kitchen and pantry. Checked behind the fridge and it’s the water/ice maker valve leaking. The original part lasted just a few months longer (closer to 4yrs). With that being said, no knock on the product, the part (from any manufacturer) is just not meant to last long term.

I received a "new to me" refrigerator that had a broken water valve. I looked up the part number listed on the old water valve and found this one on Amazon. Under $20 fix and it works perfectly!

I was able to get the part number off of the item and look it up to replace it. Once replaced there was no longer a water inlet problem. We now have ice and water and it was pretty easy to insall.

The Maytag repair company wanted $115 for a service trip fee. Plus $85/hour for labor. Plus the markup on the part, $65. I just pulled the fridge out, removed the cardboard rear cover, turned off the water like the diagram and instructions said taped to the back of the fridge. Two screws held the pump on, unplugged the little power cord, like the diagram said, disconnected the water line with a wrench, disconnected the lower water line by simply pushing up on the blue plunger to release the Schrader valve teeth, stuck the line onto the new pump, reversed the steps, done. 7 minutes total, and I'm no expert. Had my daughter test the water by filling up a sippy cup while I watched for any drips. Zero. And the new pump was quiter! I do suspect using off brand filters create back flow into the pump once 6 months rolls around. So only OEM from now on for me. IMO
