Quick and easy to install!
September 07, 2021|Ryanm, Fort Lauderdale, FL

The refrigerator ice maker valve was very easy to install and I found that they even improved that design of this valve so that it is easier to screw on the inlet tubing. It works great and barely makes any noise.

Easier than moving the fridge
September 03, 2019|Captain R, Central Vermont

I was replacing the ice maker and had replaced this initially, so figured I would do so again because it is such a pain to move my fridge. Otherwise it is only held in place by 2 bolts and has the lines running in and out. Easy. Moving fridge hard.......
