242253002 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve
Key Features
- Dual Solenoid Configuration: Features two independent electrical coils to separately control the flow of water to both the ice maker and the chilled water dispenser.
- High-Pressure Quick-Connects: Equipped with 1/4" and 5/16" push-to-connect fittings for a secure, tool-free installation of the internal plastic water lines.
- Internal Filtration Screen: Includes a fine mesh stainless steel screen at the main inlet port to prevent sediment and scale from clogging the valve or entering the ice maker.
- Precision Flow Rate: Engineered to deliver a specific volume of water during each timed fill cycle, ensuring perfectly sized ice cubes and consistent dispenser flow.
- Moisture-Resistant Housing: Constructed from durable, impact-resistant polymer designed to withstand the cold, damp environment at the rear of the refrigerator.

Compatibility & Fitment
This water valve is a direct replacement for many side-by-side and French-door refrigerators manufactured by Electrolux. Key compatible brands include:
- Frigidaire: Fits models in the Gallery, Professional, and standard series (e.g., FGHS2631PF, FGHB2844LF, FFHS2311PF).
- Electrolux: Compatible with various high-end IQ-Touch and Wave-Touch models.
- Kenmore / Sears: Fits 253-series models (e.g., 253.70313211, 253.70343411).
- Crosley & Westinghouse: Compatible with select refrigerators utilizing the 24225-series dual valve.
When to Replace
- Ice Maker Not Filling: The ice maker goes through the harvest cycle, but no water enters the tray to freeze.
- Water Dispenser Not Working: You hear a "humming" or "buzzing" sound when the paddle is pressed, but no water comes out of the door.
- Continuous Leaking: Water constantly drips from the dispenser or into the ice tray, indicating the internal valve seal is stuck open.
- Leaking at the Valve Body: Visible water pooling on the floor behind the refrigerator, often caused by a cracked valve housing due to freezing or age.
- Small or Hollow Ice Cubes: Restricted water flow due to sediment buildup in the valve's inlet screen.
Installation Tips
- Safety First: Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the main house water supply line before removing the old valve.
- Drain the Lines: Have a bucket and towel ready. Even with the water off, the internal lines will contain residual water that will drain when the tubes are disconnected.
- Quick-Connect Removal: To release the water lines, push the small plastic collar (ring) toward the valve body while simultaneously pulling the tube away.
- Tube Depth: When installing the new valve, push the water lines into the quick-connect ports until they "bottom out." Pull back gently to ensure the locking teeth have engaged the tube.
- Flush the System: After installation, run 2–3 gallons of water through the door dispenser to clear any air pockets or debris from the new valve.
