Customer Questions and Answers for Check Ball (Water Valve/Ice Maker) by Frigidaire

This small check ball helps control water flow inside the refrigerator's water/ice system to prevent backflow and ensure proper filling. It restores reliable water seating where valves or distributor ports use a ball-style check. What it does:

• Acts as a one-way seal to stop water from flowing backward into the supply line or valve bore
• Helps the ice maker and dispenser fill correctly by allowing water in but not back out
• Common symptom: intermittent or incomplete ice maker fills
• Common symptom: slow or continuous dripping from dispenser or valve area

• Shut off water supply and unplug the appliance before starting
• Small part — handle carefully and note orientation/seat before removal
• Inspect valve bores and seals for debris; clean area before installing new check ball
