That inlet valve has two electrical connections, one for the ice machine and one for the water dispenser. If you are getting 120 volts at all times, then the fridge is calling for water to be supplied to either the water dispenser (more likely) or the ice machine (less likely). Sounds like your switch in the water dispenser is bad.
That is what I thought and I checked the switch and it test fine (circuit closed on pressed and open unpressed) also even with the switch disconnected totally the valves tests 120v. What else could be? Thinking some relay is broken in the board. Is there any other switch to check?
@MrIsrael3000 double-check that you are not mixing up the water circuit with the ice. I would say if you remove the switch completely and are still getting 120v, then you have a short to power... which could be the board.
@Ziplocked67 it's either the switch that tells it to dispens ice or the valve that operates the water in the back of the fridge. If you disconnect the wire harness on the ice machine and it stops, then it's the ice machine. If it keeps going, then it's the valve.
I guess in addition to that, the switch that runs the lever where the cup goes could be bad. Just unplug the fridge. If the water stops, then it's not the valve but is either the ice machine or lever switch.
Thank you! I clicked on this video by mistake. I have an LG and the water won’t turn off. I thought it was the part on the front of the fridge. When you said if the water won’t stop when you unplug it, I realized I was about to buy the solenoid. Thanks for helping!
Thanks a lot from Iran. I changed the piece and it stopped the water.
@MohammadYounessi-dr2up awesome, that's great to hear.
What to do if my inlet valve register 120v all the time. I disconnect the switch and still 120v in the valves

Mine is electrical. Did you say it’s a “solenoid” that need to be replaced?
There is an electric switch behind the lever that your cup pushes that is likely bad. I may have said solenoid, but it's a switch.
What's the average cost of the part you replaced?
@soar9290 I paid $60 for mine off Amazon. GE part too. You can get the open box ones off Amazon for half that.
what if it’s the ice dispenser stuck on?

@@JackofAllTrades1 thank you so much
@@Ziplocked67 yea. Np
