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.

So not so inexplicable after all, just really lazy so far as fixes go. Kudos on fixing it up right!

Thanks! It's just a little weird because they could have just closed the hand valve on the line to the fridge instead.
