Midea Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve 17431000001476 — Restore Ice Maker & Water Dispenser Flow

Genuine OEM Replacement Part Midea Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve 17431000001476 — Restore Ice Maker & Water Dispenser Flow Part# 17431000001476 Water Inlet Valve Fits Midea Midea Refrigerator No Water or No Ice? Water Inlet Valve 17431000001476 – Restore Full Water Flow Fast A failed water inlet valve is the most common cause of a Midea refrigerator that produces no ice, dispenses no water, or fills the ice maker very slowly. In Midea refrigerators, the water inlet valve is an electrically operated solenoid valve that opens to allow water from the household supply line into the ice maker and water dispenser system. When it fails — either mechanically or electrically — no water enters the refrigerator regardless of supply pressure, and the ice maker stops producing ice entirely. ⚡ Common failure point in Midea refrigerators with ice maker and water dispenser systems. Part 17431000001476 is the genuine OEM water inlet valve that restores full water flow to the ice maker and dispenser immediately. ❓ Is This the Right Part? This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true: ✔ The refrigerator is cooling normally — temperature is correct in both compartments ✔ The household water supply line is connected, turned on, and has adequate pressure (min. 20 PSI) ✔ The water filter has been replaced recently or bypassed for testing ✔ ONLY problem is no water to the dispenser or no ice production Not sure? Send us your model number — we’ll confirm before you order. 🔧 Common Symptoms Ice maker stopped producing ice — no ice cubes at all Water dispenser produces no water when the paddle is pressed Ice maker fills very slowly or produces undersized ice cubes Humming sound from the valve area when water is requested but nothing flows Water supply line is confirmed connected and pressurized but no water enters the fridge ✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system. ✔ In most cases, replacing this water inlet valve restores full ice maker and dispenser operation immediately. 📦 Part Details Part Number: 17431000001476 Type: Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve — OEM Midea replacement Brands: Midea ⚠️ Recommended While Repairing: Before replacing the valve, replace the water filter if it hasn’t been changed in the last 6 months — a clogged filter restricts flow and mimics a failed valve. Also inspect the water supply line for kinks, freezing at the back of the refrigerator, or a partially closed shut-off valve. If the filter is fresh, the supply line is clear, and pressure is confirmed above 20 PSI, the inlet valve is the correct next replacement. ⚙️ Installation Skill Level: Moderate — 20–35 minutes. Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing. The water inlet valve is typically located at the rear lower section of the refrigerator behind the access panel. Disconnect the water supply line, unplug the solenoid wire harness(es), remove the mounting screws, and install 17431000001476 in reverse order. Restore water supply, check for leaks at all connections, restore power, and run an ice maker test cycle. ✓ Compatible Models Compatible with select Midea refrigerator models with ice maker and water dispenser.

Below 20 PSI, the valve cannot open fully even when it’s working — resulting in slow fill, small ice cubes, or no flow at all. If your home has low water pressure or a pressure-reducing valve set too low, replacing the inlet valve will not fix the problem. Confirm supply pressure with a gauge at the shut-off valve before ordering. If pressure is adequate and the filter is fresh, the valve is the correct repair.
