I am planning to replace my water inlet valve of my referigrator ice maker. I am confused with the electric connection. The +ve or -ve is not marked on the referigrator side or valve side. Please advice how to find this. Or Is it OK if I connect it anyway?

Thanks
Sam

Is this a single or dual valve? Single valve doesn't matter.

AC doesn't have + and -. Where you just have a coil, hot and neutral doesn't make much difference after the switch. Hot is always switched.

Plug it it and let it make ice. You are good to go

Yes that's what I meant to say. I have hot and netural from the refrigator side and two points in the inlet vlave. Doest it matter which one should go to which point?

Thanks
