When your refrigerator's icemaker or water dispenser activates, the control board sends 120V to the solenoid coil. The valve opens for a precise duration, supplies metered water through the inlet line, then snaps closed when demand is satisfied.
Over time, mineral buildup, electrical wear, and rubber diaphragm fatigue cause the solenoid to fail — that's when your fridge stops making ice, the dispenser dribbles or stops, or water starts leaking behind the unit.
The IMV-990 solves this with factory-grade brass internals, sealed solenoid coils, and a tested cycle life rated for years of reliable service. Drop it in and your refrigerator runs like new.
Typical installation: 10-15 minutes with basic hand tools.
