An internally failed icemaker stop valve from 2014 had prevented a new refrigerator from being connected at this Lilburn home. The original valve would not shut off, so the plumber accessed the supply line through the drywall, cut the pipe, and installed a new brass quarter-turn stop with a blue handle inside a recessed outlet box. The new valve seated properly and allowed full shutoff. After reconnecting the piping and testing for leaks, the refrigerator installation could proceed. Keep Smiling Plumbing, Electric, Heating, and Cooling included a six-month parts and labor warranty on the work. Call Keep Smiling Plumbing, Electric, Heating, and Cooling if an aging shutoff valve is keeping a new appliance from being installed.
