Handle Valve

Multiple brands Handle Valve is listed under part number 02-3790-21 for ice maker service and replacement work. Valves regulate water flow during fill events. If a valve sticks, the machine may underfill, overfill, or behave inconsistently from cycle to cycle. If the symptom is inconsistent flow, inspect the part location for looseness, rubbing marks, mineral buildup, and any secondary damage to nearby parts. A good diagnostic approach is to confirm the symptom, then check mounting points and adjacent connections for contributing issues. A short post-repair check—visual inspection plus a full cycle—helps confirm the issue is resolved without introducing new leaks or noise. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period.
