Finally fixed my refrigerator.
The previous owners of the house inexplicably cut the water line to the fridge, so I reconnected it only to find out that the ice maker would keep leaking water. That was happening because the solenoid valve that allows flow to the ice maker wasn't closing properly. Fortunately, it was an easy replacement, just a couple of screws and push connections.
Been down this path before. The water pump on my fridge wasn't pushing through with hardly any water pressure. Replaced it, felt hella accomplished.
I think the worry is buying parts when it could be a couple of different things going wrong. Taking the time/money to do it and then find out it's the other part is just infuriating. Maybe that's just me.
Not just you. I Always worry when it comes to my washing machine. One error code means it could be 3 things. There are two PC boards and both are $150-300/piece. I bought the one that other forums told me was usually the culprit and prayed after paying. Luckily it was.
