Expansion valve

Expansion Valve is an ice maker replacement part identified by part number 1854700700. It’s intended for service and repair when the original component is worn, damaged, or missing. Use the part number on your machine or old component to confirm you’re ordering the correct item. A valve like this opens and closes to regulate water feed at the right time, supporting reliable ice formation and harvest performance. If it leaks or sticks open, you may notice overfilling, water overflow, or slushy ice caused by inconsistent water control. Look for signs of mineral buildup, weak fill, or inconsistent flow; if supply and controls are normal, the valve becomes a prime suspect. Replacing the part can bring the system back to predictable operation and help prevent repeat call-backs. A quick post-repair run-through of one full cycle helps confirm proper fill timing and reliable ice production. A careful inspection of adjacent parts can help catch secondary issues that may have contributed to the failure. A careful inspection of adjacent parts can help catch secondary issues that may have contributed to the failure. If the symptom is intermittent, pay close attention to connectors, mounting points, and any signs of vibration-related wear. When possible, run the ice maker long enough to observe at least one complete cycle after the repair. Before closing panels, double-check that fasteners are snug and that nearby lines or wires won’t rub during operation.
