Frigidaire 242220501 Water Tank (Fresh Water Reservoir) OEM Part

The online video to change the water tube from the solenoid to filter was very helpful. It made the project straightforward. I had to replace the water tank tube as well. It was more challenging because there was no video for my model refrigerator (Frigidaire French Door) but a side-by-side unit video provided enough hints. The hardest part was getting the tube into the tank housing. The original water tank was smaller than the replacement. It required some serious persuasion to squeeze the tank into the housing. The other issue was with the tube ends. The tube ends must have been designed for a different connector than what I had. I had to cut off the ends to get the tube to seat correctly in the union and the solenoid with retainer clip. No big deal, I had the right cutting tool (PVC tube cutter) and one video I was used standard diagonal cutters. Finally, one other problem was ice build-up behind the refrigerator. It's a fundamental flaw in the design of the refrigerator, not enough insulation behind the ice maker IMO. Significant rust after 7 years of operation. Rather than replace the entire back panel ($500) I used a hair dryer to melt the ice and then applied some additional foam around the rusty area leaving a place for any liquid to drain out if it accumulated. I also didn't push the refrigerator back against the wall, left about 1" for air circulation. I'll probably check in a few months to see if my fix worked. Testing the system for leaks really required two people because the refrigerator is so large and the original problem only occurred when water was flowing. In the meantime, all systems working correctly. I'd make repairs again (replaced the solenoid last year) because it has got to be cheaper than a repairman (likely faster including the time for shipping) and I needed something to do over the weekend.
