I believe I need to replace the water valve on the unit to prevent water from leaking into the fill tube between fill ups. On the parts diagram for my unit: Parts for Amana ARB2557CB / PARB2557CB0: Cabinet Back Parts - AppliancePartsPros.com I see two similar parts. 10 - Valve, Primary Water Whirlpool 12544002 Valve, Primary Water - AppliancePartsPros.com 18 - Kit, Water Valve Whirlpool 12002193 Kit, Water Valve - AppliancePartsPros.com What is the difference between these two parts and which one do I need (or both)? Thank you, Greg

The Primary valve provides water to the filter. The secondary valve provides water to the water dispenser and to the ice maker. By replacing the secondary valve (Item 18 in the schematic), I was able to fix my frozen ice maker feed tube issue. The part was an exact match and only took about 15 minutes to install and test. Within a few minutes of installation, I was once again making ice.
