Hi there, and welcome to Helpowl, I look forward to assisting you today with your question and providing the best answer possible.

This problem is commonly caused by a bad solenoid on the water inlet valve. The valve will have to be replaced to correct the problem.

The following link explains how to access and replace the inlet valve:

Replacement parts (if required) can be found at the following websites:

searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com

The average cost varies, so shop and compare. The first three websites I listed also have helpful exploded view parts diagrams that can help you locate and properly identify the parts you need. If the model number is correct, the part number for a replacement valve is 8181694.

If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.
