Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve 242253002 OEM Part

Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

The Water Inlet Valve is an authentic replacement component designed for compatibility with Frigidaire appliances, along with select models from Electrolux and Kenmore. Its essential function is to regulate the influx of water to the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. Activation of either the ice maker or the water dispenser triggers the valve to open, permitting water entry into the system. The control board of the refrigerator governs the timing of the valve’s operation, ensuring precise opening and closing sequences. Typically, this valve is located at the rear, near the base of the refrigerator. It serves as a connection point between the refrigerator's water supply line and both the ice maker and water dispenser mechanisms.

This part is specifically engineered to resolve common problems such as:

- No water dispensing
- Inability to produce ice
- Insufficient water pressure
- Water leakage

This original part from Frigidaire is also compatible with appliances from other brands, including Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
