It is a dual valve with two connectors on each one. Each valve has a two position red connector and a two position white connector. I tried switching both connectors from one valve to the connectors on the other valve. I get water at the door either way. My question is, after switching the connectors, shouldn't I have gotten water at the ice maker when the door water switch is activated??

Woodchuckie: Which of those connectors should be switched?? White ones, red ones, or both?? Also, the icemaker is removed. Will the valve work if that is out??

Or am I supposed to swap the white with the red on one valve.
