Thread: Water Inlet Valve - Kenmore

  1. #1

    Water Inlet Valve - Kenmore

    Model Number: 10652564100
    Brand: Sears Kenmore
    Age: More than 10 years

    Just acquired a Kenmore fridge and when I went to hook up the water line for the ice/water system instantly it started leaking. Pulled the leaking part and its all cracked and basically useless. Now the original part number is 2205762 which has been replaced with W10408179, the big difference between the two parts is that I have screw on fittings and the replacement part is equipped with the quick disconnects. How difficult is it to convert everything over? I dont want to get in over my head here, I'm handy enough to tackle most jobs, but I know nothing about how these new fittings work and I hate deviating from original designs. So anyone thats replaced one of these with the updated part any insight would be appreciated, Thanks.

    It's very simple to convert to the new style fittings. You just take a sharp knife or razor blade and cut off the old screw on fittings. Make sure the cut is completely straight and free of any burrs. Then push the water line into the new valve. The new style fittings are very easy to use.

    Yep it's pretty simple. They also include an instruction sheet that describes the process in the box.
