Default You should really think about replacing these cheap valves.

A more general question: is there such a thing as a homeowner 'user manual' that would answer questions like this?

They are cheap builders valves that tend to leak or even break. I replaced all of mine myself. Remember to replace the one supplying water to your fridge.
