I have a kenmore side by side, and found the water inlet valve in back, part #
2205762, the plastic has cracked due to freezing at some point. The part # is good and can be found, for around $70. WOW, i only need the plastic housing! So, i carefully took it apart, and sealed the cracks with JB weld, and have not tried it yet, but am suspicious that it will fail, like when I'm not around. It's in a garage, so not worried much about ruining a floor.
So, what are my chances of finding a used valve, simply to salvage the plastic housing? Thx for any advice.
