Problems installing new 4389177 part. New part requires water lines inserted into valves, vice old compression connections. Water line pops out when water is turned on. Water line is cut clean and square. How can I get water line to stay in place and not pop out. Most importantly, how can I guarantee these won't pop out accidentally and flood my house?

Hello there and thank you for choosing fixya
Most cleaning problems are caused by the dishwasher not getting enough wash water, so the water-inlet valve is often to blame. This valve is usually at the bottom left or right of the dishwasher, behind the lower access panel. It's the device with the main water line from the house, a rubber tube to the dishwasher, and two wires attached to it. When a water-inlet valve is defective, you may hear the sound that's usually referred to as "water hammer." If the water-inlet valve is defective, you need to completely replace it.

Be sure to read and understand any instructions that come with the new water inlet valve.

Tools required:

Adjustable wrench

Multi-Screwdriver

Pliers

Step 1. Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source.

Note: Dishwashers are usually wired directly to the home's electrical system. To disconnect the power, switch off the circuit breaker or remove the fuse for the electrical circuit the dishwasher is attached to. Try to turn the unit on after disconnecting the power to be sure you were successful.

CAUTION: If you're not sure you've shut off the power properly, DO NOT CONTINUE. Call a qualified appliance repair technician to complete the repair.

Step 2. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. This is usually underneath the kitchen sink or in the basement or crawlspace near the location of the dishwasher. Pliers may be helpful here.

Note: If there are no shut-off valves, you must shut the water off at the main water supply valve for your home.

Step 3. Remove the lower panel(s) of the dishwasher. These are usually held by 2 to 4 screws at the upper and lower corners of the panel(s).

The inlet valve is usually near the front of the dishwasher. Attached to the valve you'll see: 2 or 4 wires, the water supply line from the house and the water feed line that goes to the dishwasher.

Step 4. Remove the household water supply line from the valve. The line is usually secured with a brass compression nut. The water supply line is usually copper or braided stainless steel.

CAUTION: Water supply line may be hot.

Step 5. Remove the fitting from the valve the water supply line was attached to. This fitting may be very difficult to remove. It may help to put the valve into a vice in order to remove the fitting. If you cannot remove it, replace it. The fitting is not an appliance part but a plumbing part that is available at most hardware stores.

Step 6. Remove the screws holding the valve to the dishwasher frame.

Step 7. Label the wires to the valve so you'll be sure to reattach them correctly.

Step 8. Remove the wires from the valve.

Step 9. Remove the clamp on the black rubber water discharge tube and pull the tube off of the valve.

Step 10. Reinstall the old fitting (or a replacement fitting if necessary) onto the new valve the water supply line was attached to. Use Teflon tape or pipe joint compound as a thread sealant. Make this fitting tight to prevent leaks. Make sure that the fitting points in the same direction as the old one so that the water supply line will meet up with it properly.

Step 11. Install the new valve in the reverse order of the removal instructions.

Note: The water supply line is under high pressure. Be sure to tighten the fittings properly.

Step 12. Turn on the water to the machine, and check for and correct any leaks.

Step 13. Reinstall the access panel(s). Restore the power to the dishwasher and test.

Note: You may have to let the dishwasher run a few minutes before it reaches the next water fill cycle.

Turn water off from the supply. There should be a valve that the 1/4" water line connects to, if not you will have to shut off the water main. Using a wrench remove the nut from the water line connection (usually a compression fitting. You will need a need compression sleeve with the new line x2, one for the valve and one for the fridge. Next disconnect the line from the back of the fridge. Run the new line the same way the old one was run, for easiness. Make sure you leave enough slack behind the refridgerator to allow it to be pulled out and cleaned behind. Once all connections are tight you can turn the water back on and ensure you don't have any leaks. Hope this helps.

Good day,
Grasp the filter firmly and turn it counter-clockwise until it releases.
Some water will spill so hold a small bowl under it.
Install the new one in reverse order. Pushed up turn clockwise until it seats.
It will take a while to purge the air out of the system, so be patient.

You need to replace the water inlet valve , pt # 4389177 . This is the part , the wall water line connects to , on the refrig . The valve , is not closing completely , thereby , letting a drip come thru constantly .

Does it feel free to turn? It's water powered and works in conjunction with the water pump. Do you hear the water/booster pump come on?

The ballvalve is normally a compression type fitting and so would not normally require soldering, however you could use a threaded adaptor soldered to the copper supply line and then thread a 1/2" ball valve to that then reduce down to the correct thread to meet the tails from your new tap. Or alternativeley you can insert the valve in the supply line, and extend the pipe to nearer the sink to enable easier connection of the tap.

You should be able to look at your new valve to see openings for water lines. There should be little rings around each opening. Press down on these on your old valve to release water lines. Some older valve have threaded openings that just screw off. If that's the case, your new valve probably doesn't have the threads. Just push the plastic nut up the line and insert water line in new valve firmly until you feel it snap into place. Your water source line from wall will probably still screw onto valve.

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice


Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply
shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water
supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

Kink in the water source line? A kink in the line can reduce
water flow. Straighten the water source line.

Ice maker turned on? Make sure wire shutoff arm or switch
(depending on model) is in the ON position.

New installation? Wait 24 hours after ice maker installation
for ice production to begin. Wait 72 hours for full ice
production.

Large amount of ice recently removed? Allow 24 hours for
ice maker to produce more ice.

Ice cube jammed in the ice maker ejector arm?
Remove ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil.

Reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to
your cold water supply? This can decrease water pressure

OR
The water dispenser will not operate properly


Freezer door closed completely? Close the door firmly. If it
does not close completely, see “The doors will not close
completely.”

Refrigerator connected to a water supply and the supply
shutoff valve turned on? Connect refrigerator to water
supply and turn water shutoff valve fully open.

Is the water pressure at least 30 psi? The water pressure to
the home determines the flow from the dispenser. See “Water
Supply Requirements.”

Kink in the home water source line? Straighten the water
source line.

New installation? Flush and fill the water system.

Water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be
clogged or incorrectly installed.

Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to
your cold water supply?
