GE WR57X10033 Water Valve for Refrigerator



For ice-maker use only.
If you're planning on using this thing for anything other than making ice, you may be disappointed.

This valve can only be cycled "on" for six seconds before needing three minutes time off, otherwise it overheats and becomes useless.

GE abbreviates seconds as " (as in cartography) on their part, but spells out minutes. Both I and an electrician friend assumed that the " was just a typo and that it just needed three minutes downtime for every six minutes it was on. Not true. The part lasted about three minutes before dying.

So, if you have plans of a gravity-fed plant-watering system that just needs one 1/4" tube fitting solenoid to work properly, this is not your part. If you need something for your GE refrigerator's ice-maker, I'm sure you'll be as happy with this thing's performance.

Works great, makes ice better than ever!!
After installing the new unit on my eight plus year old fridge that hasn’t dropped ice in five years I was surprised how easy it was to install and was pleasantly surprised when it started dropping ice like a politician spends other people’s money (fast and often)

Easy Fix - super replacement
Installed & working 30 mins after I took it of the box. Fifteen minutes of that time I spent cleaning the floor behind the fridge.
