This Part Fixes These Problems

Ice Maker Not Making Ice

The valve's solenoid has failed electrically or mineral deposits have clogged the inlet screen, cutting off water supply to the ice mold entirely.

No Water from Dispenser

A faulty or stuck-closed solenoid prevents water from flowing through the valve to the dispenser, resulting in no output when the paddle is pressed.

Water Leaking Behind Refrigerator

A cracked valve body or deteriorated inlet fitting causes water to drip behind or under the refrigerator near the rear water connection point.

Small or Hollow Ice Cubes

Partial blockage or a weak solenoid allows only limited water into the ice mold, producing undersized cubes due to insufficient water fill volume.

Water Continuously Filling Ice Maker

A valve solenoid that sticks open continues to allow water flow after the ice maker has signaled it to stop, causing the ice maker to overflow.

Ice Freezing in Fill Tube

A seeping or weeping valve that never fully closes allows residual water to drip and freeze inside the fill tube connecting the valve to the ice mold.

Product Description

Why Choose Our 242252603 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve?

🔧
Built to OEM SpecificationsSingle-coil solenoid valve rated 120V / 50-60Hz / 35W with 1/4" compression inlet and 1/4" push-connect outlet — identical footprint to the original Frigidaire 242252603.
🧲
Solenoid-Controlled PrecisionResponds instantly to electronic control commands, opening and closing on demand to deliver consistent water flow to the ice maker and water dispenser.
🏗️
Corrosion-Resistant MaterialsConstructed from premium corrosion-resistant metals and high-strength engineering plastics — built for the humid interior environment of a refrigerator.
🔌
Push-to-Connect Quick FittingUpgraded push-to-connect mechanism eliminates the old plastic nut design for improved sealing reliability and leak-free performance right from installation.
📐
Compact, Exact-Fit DimensionsMeasures 3-3/4"L × 2-3/8"W × 2-3/4"H with mounting bracket included — drops straight into the original mounting location at the rear of the refrigerator.
🌐
Wide Brand CompatibilityCompatible with Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Westinghouse top-mount refrigerator models — one valve fits hundreds of units.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Water Inlet Valve Failing?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Ice maker has stopped producing ice entirely

⚠️ Water dispenser delivers no water or a weak, slow trickle

⚠️ Ice cubes are undersized or hollow due to insufficient water fill

⚠️ Water dripping or pooling behind the refrigerator near the valve

🔎 Diagnostic Tip: Disconnect power and remove the valve. Set a digital multimeter to the Ohms (Ω) setting and probe the solenoid terminals. A healthy valve reads 200–500 Ω. An open circuit (infinite resistance) or a reading well outside this range confirms the valve has failed and must be replaced. Also verify household water pressure is at least 20 PSI before condemning the valve.
