Water Dispenser Running Low Water

[kally.lallysidhu0]

Brand: Whirlpool
Model Number:WRF736SDAM13
Main Symptom: Water running low
What happens & when: Water flow suddenly start running low. I saw there are 2 parts for water inlet value on your website: WPW10341329 and W10865826. Which one of these I need to order to fix the water flow? I have already tried changing the filter and tried running the water without filter. Both didn’t fixed the issue. Any help would be great. Thanks

WRF736SDAM13
Main Symptom: Water running low
What happens & when: Water flow suddenly start running low. I saw there are 2 parts for water inlet value on your website: WPW10341329 and W10865826. Which one of these I need to order to fix the water flow? I have already tried changing the filter and tried running the water without filter. Both didn’t fixed the issue.

For model WRF736SDAM13, there are two different water valves:

• W10865826 = Primary water inlet valve ( W10865826 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve | Genuine Whirlpool OEM In Stock ) main valve where household water enters the refrigerator).

• WPW10341329 = Secondary dual water valve ( WPW10341329 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve | Genuine Whirlpool OEM In Stock ) used downstream to direct water to the dispenser and/or ice maker).

Since you have already:

• Replaced the water filter, and

• Tested water flow with the filter removed,

the next step is to determine whether the low flow affects only the dispenser or both the dispenser and ice maker.

If BOTH the water dispenser and ice maker have weak water flow, I would suspect the primary inlet valve (W10865826) first.

If the ice maker is working normally but only the dispenser flow is weak, the issue is more likely:

• The secondary dual valve (WPW10341329),

• A restricted water reservoir/tank inside the fresh food section,

• A kinked water line, or

• Low incoming house water pressure.

Before ordering either valve, I’d recommend checking:

1. Is the ice maker producing normal-sized cubes?

2. Did the low flow happen suddenly or gradually?

3. Does water flow strongly from the supply line if you disconnect it from the refrigerator?

Can you tell me:

• Is the ice maker also affected, or only the water dispenser?

• Approximately how old is the refrigerator?

With that information I can narrow down which valve is the more likely failure.
