Frigidaire 242252702 Refrigerator Water Valve OEM Part

On your chat box with Kelsey, I decided it was probably the valve and so ordered a water valve. It came next day! Before trying to install it, I wanted to confirm whether it was the valve or the icemaker, so I chatted again with Kelsey who gave me a useful test (manually pour water into the icemaker) that confirmed the icemaker was functional. So I thought it surely is the valve, so I removed the old valve according to the very helpful video on your website. When I opened the box with the new valve there was a very detailed instruction sheet on how to test the old valve to be sure it was defective before installing the new valve. I tested the old valve using that method and the old valve was fully functional! Now I was confused. The valve worked. The icemaker made ice. Perhaps the icemaker electronics was not sending power to the valve even if it could make ice? Then on a whim, I blew into the water tube from the valve to the icemaker. It was clogged! I pulled out the section going through the reefer wall and found it clogged with ice! Why that tube froze up, I can't imagine. I cleared the tube and reassembled everything. The refrigerator made a whole bin of ice last night! The "Diagnostic Procedure for Triple and Quadruple Water Valve" that came with the part was the key that saved me from a $110 service call. My only cost is return postage. My one suggestion is to include that diagnostic procedure on your website! In any case, I will likely come to Appliance Parts Pros when I need help on an appliance.

1. After hearing a loud noise on the freezer side of unit about halfway up, I started investigating what it could be? My conclusion was evaporator motor or evaporator fan blade. One of the signs of this issue was a distinct change in sound when I opened the freezer door. I ordered a new motor and blade, not knowing exactly what it was. 2. I couldn't get water to dispense, so I changed the filter and that wasn't the problem. I ordered a water valve and crossed my fingers. These parts arrived quickly and were on standby for a later time that I could tear into this project. After a few days went by I came home to see a alarm / code on the refrigerator display (SY EF) and both freezer and fridge were shut down. I looked up the code and it was a evaporator fail code. Needless to say I had to drop everything and do this repair asap with the parts I already had on hand. I had previously watched the instructional videos, so I unloaded all the items from both sides and began the repair. After getting the panels off the back of the freezer in noticed a lot of ice buildup near the evaporator motor and blade. I removed both existing parts and replaced per the instructional video. My advise would be to thaw and remove any ice buildup before putting the panels back on. I reassembled with the new parts I had ordered. I did have to fight a little with the clip on the new motor. Make sure you hear it snap together before moving on and putting the interior panels back on. As long as I had the unit pulled out I decided to change the water valve too. I installed this per the video and checked for leaks. After all this work was done, powering up, and repositioning the unit, I was dispensing water and watching the temperature on the freezer and fridge come down to optimal levels. It's fixed!

Replaced the water valve/solenoid. Super fast shipping! Thank you so much :) I had to snip the ends of the existing water lines as the fittings were a bit different, but thanks to youtube, it was a simple adjustment.

I ordered the Water Valve part and received it in one day. I installed the part myself and everything is working fine. Thank you - you saved me from having Sears come out to install it and charge me much more than it cost me to obtain the part from you.

Put water ice maker and made ice tried thawing ice maker ware line still no water order water valve and replaced it now work good
