Description

The Freezer Magnet Valve is an OEM part for Bosch refrigerators. It is a valve located inside the freezer compartment that controls the flow of coolant through evaporator coils. 

As temperatures fluctuate, the freezer magnet valve automatically adjusts coolant flow to maintain the ideal freezing conditions inside the freezer. It redirects refrigerant to properly serve both the freezer and refrigerator sections.

Symptoms of a bad magnet valve include:

  • Fluctuating or inconsistent freezer temperatures   
  • Frost buildup on freezer walls or lack of ice/freezer burn on frozen goods
  • Short cycling noise coming from inside the refrigerator 

This Bosch OEM replacement is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models for reliable cooling performance.
