This Part Fixes These Problems

No Water from Dispenser

Refrigerator door water dispenser produces no water or only a trickle despite normal water supply pressure and a fresh filter.

Ice Maker Not Making Ice

Ice maker stops producing ice entirely, or produces small, hollow, or misshapen cubes due to insufficient water fill.

Water Leaking at Back of Fridge

Water pools under or drips from the back lower panel of the refrigerator, indicating a cracked valve body or failed solenoid seal.

Loud Buzzing / Hammering Noise

Audible buzzing, chattering, or water-hammer noise heard from the rear of the refrigerator when the dispenser paddle is pressed or during ice-maker fill cycle.

One Function Works, Other Does Not

Water dispenser works but ice maker does not, or vice versa — caused by failure of one individual solenoid coil within the 4-coil valve assembly.

💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing a Faulty Water Inlet Valve

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

⚠️ No water dispensed from door dispenser even with water supply on and filter replaced

⚠️ Ice maker stopped producing ice or making small/hollow cubes

⚠️ Water leaking from the back or bottom of the refrigerator

⚠️ Loud buzzing or hammering noise when dispenser is activated

🔬 Before replacing: Confirm 120VAC is reaching the valve when the dispenser is pressed. If power is present but no water flows, the valve solenoid has failed. Also check that water supply pressure is at least 20 PSI — low pressure can mimic a bad valve. Do NOT attempt to clean the valve; cleaning increases the risk of future failure. Replace it instead.

Questions & Answers

Which refrigerator brands does part 242253002 fit?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
This 4-coil water inlet valve is compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, and White-Westinghouse refrigerators — all built on the Electrolux manufacturing platform. It is most commonly used on French door and side-by-side models.
My ice maker stopped working but the door water dispenser still works fine. Could this valve be the cause?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Yes — the 242253002 is a 4-coil (quad solenoid) valve, meaning each solenoid controls a separate water circuit. It is entirely possible for one solenoid to fail while the others continue to operate normally. If your ice maker circuit solenoid has failed, you will lose ice production while still getting door water. Replacing the full valve assembly is the correct fix.
What is the minimum water supply pressure required for this valve to work correctly?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
The valve requires at least 20 PSI of household water supply pressure to operate properly. To check, turn off the home supply, detach the supply line at the valve, hold it over a bucket, then turn the water back on. A weak flow indicates a supply or line issue rather than a valve fault. Normal residential pressure (40–80 PSI) is ideal.
Can I clean the old valve instead of replacing it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
We strongly advise against attempting to clean the water inlet valve. Industry technicians confirm that cleaning the valve's internal passages and solenoid seats can disturb mineral deposits and accelerate failure. If your valve is clogged or leaking, replacement is the correct and only recommended repair.
What part numbers does 242253002 replace, and what is included in the package?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Part 242253002 replaces AP5669874, 242102201, PS7321353, EAP7321353, 2689640, WV3002, and PD00007279. Each order includes one complete 4-solenoid water inlet valve assembly with mounting bracket — ready to install with no additional hardware required.
