4. Bruksanvisning

The Robertshaw IMV708 W10408179 water valve is an automatic component. It functions under the control of your refrigerator's internal systems. When the ice maker calls for water or the water dispenser lever is pressed, the valve opens to allow water to flow. It then closes automatically once the required amount of water has been dispensed or the ice maker cycle is complete.

5. Vedlikehold

• Regelmessig inspeksjon: Periodically inspect the water valve and all connected water lines for any signs of leaks, cracks, or corrosion. Early detection can prevent significant water damage.
• Vannfilter: If your refrigerator has a water filter, ensure it is replaced according to the refrigerator manufacturer's recommendations. A clogged filter can reduce water flow and put undue strain on the water valve.
• Renslighet: Keep the area around the water valve and the rear of the refrigerator clean and free of dust and debris to ensure proper ventilation and operation.

• Clogged Water Filter: A clogged water filter can severely restrict water flow. Replace the water filter if it's due for replacement.
• Faulty Valve: If the valve is leaking or not activating, it may need replacement.
