After researching causes for not getting water through the door I had ruled out the line being frozen. My tests showed that the relay on this valve was getting energized yet there was barely a trickle of water coming out so I assumed the valve needed replacing. A new valve did not solve the problem. The root cause was the fitting that holds the water filter. One of the tubes leading into the fitting was plugged, preventing filtered water from reaching the valve I had tested.

This review is from: GE WR57X10032 Water Valve for Refrigerator (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is a drect OEM replacement part for my old dual outlet water valve. It's easy to install. Just remove the back cover, I used nutdriver screwdrivers. Remove the single screw that holds the old bracket on. Swap the outlet lines, then swap the connectors. Mount the new valve, then remove the inlet valve from the old one and screw it onto the new one.
Leave the back cover off for a while and wait for a couple of icemaker cycles and use the water through the door dispenser a few times. Check for leaks. If no leaks, then install the back cover using the 4 screws and you're done!
Better yet watch how this guy does it [...]
