Frigidaire Refrigerator FRS26ZNHB0 Not dispensing water

This refrigerator water inlet valve uses an electric solenoid to control the flow of household water into the appliance. Replacing a failing valve helps restore proper ice production and reliable dispenser operation while preventing unwanted drips or overfilling.

• Opens when energized to allow water into the ice maker and/or dispenser; closes to stop flow
• Common symptoms: no ice or no water, slow fill or hollow cubes, continuous dripping/overfill, buzzing/humming with no water, or leaks at the valve area
• Restores correct water control and shutoff at the rear of the refrigerator

• Disconnect power and turn off the household water supply before servicing
• Pull the refrigerator forward carefully; place a towel or container to catch residual water
• Note tubing and wire locations to ensure correct reassembly; transfer any mounting bracket/fittings from the old valve if needed
• After installation, restore water and power, inspect all connections for leaks, and purge air from the line (run dispenser, if equipped)

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It controls the flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, ensuring a steady and reliable water supply. This valve opens and closes as needed, allowing water to enter the ice maker and dispenser for proper operation.

Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include mineral buildup, wear and tear, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning valve can lead to problems with water flow, affecting the refrigerator’s ability to produce ice and dispense water properly.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• No water dispensing from the refrigerator
• Ice maker not producing ice
• Leaks from the valve area
• Unusual noises coming from the valve

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
