Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve 242253002 – Compatible With Frigidaire, Kenmore Ice Maker Models

About This Product

Is your refrigerator's ice maker not making ice, or is the water dispenser just a trickle? The water inlet valve is a super common failure point. This replacement valve (part #242253002) is a high-quality aftermarket part that fits a wide range of Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, and Crosley refrigerators. It directly replaces several common OEM numbers including WR57X33326 and 242102201. It's essentially the gatekeeper that controls the flow of water from your house supply into the fridge for the ice maker and dispenser. When it fails, you get little or no water. This one is built with durable materials to handle constant water pressure and provide reliable performance. Installing it usually involves turning off the water supply, unplugging the fridge, swapping the old valve for this one (it's often in the back, bottom compartment), and reconnecting the tubes and wires. If you're handy, it's a DIY repair that can save you a pricey service call and get your ice and water flowing again.
