READ THIS PRIOR TO ORDERING:
If your refrigerator has a built-in water filter, then it may have (2) water valves. If your refrigerator is equipped with a water dispenser and also an ice maker -AND- one of them works but the other one does not THEN —->THIS IS VALVE NOT YOUR ISSUE.
This valve (Primary) would only solve an issue affecting both the water dispenser and the ice maker (as this primary valve controls the main water feed to the filter which feeds the Secondary Valve)
The Secondary valve would have (2) control solenoids to allow the control of water flow independently to the ice maker or to the water dispenser.
