Intake valve for ice maker was leaking.
Ordered part # 218859701 from parts select. Easy process. Showed right up on their website. The fitting from the water source to the valve was the same size. However, the fitting to the line that led into the refrigerator was smaller. Made two trip to Lowe's to purchase 1/4OD tubing and a 5/16OD x 1/4OD reducing coupling. That's wha
... Read moret took time. Other than that an easy repair.

No water to dispenser or ice cube maker
Since I didn't have any water to both dispenser or cube maker, I assumed I needed the Double Solenoid Water Valve. I first ordered and installed the double valve, but it did not solve my water supply. I then ordered the Single Solenoid Water Valve and installed it per instructions. These valves are easy to install and do not take over 1
... Read more5 minutes. The water is now flowing to both dispenser and cube maker and everything is working like new. I probably would not have needed to buy the double solenoid valve, but since my refrig was about 20 years old, I left it installed.

slow water flow and ice maker
remove solenoid and lines and replace new one every thing work fine
Easy repair, matched parts from this web-site, removed several screws for each valve assy, installed each item, had water & ice !!!!! Both items $90 w shipping, we went to dinner with the money saved from not calling some a tech to repace them east items.
went On line to "just answer" and gave a short synopsis of my problem and what I had checked. 1) checked and changed water filter - problem remained 2) Checked that water supply was OK - It was
Just Answer tech wa svery prompt to my inquirey. Told me to check if water was coming out the exit of the SOlenoid. It was
... Read more not. I then checked the part no for the solenoid and had the tech verify that it was the correc tpart no and he confifmed that it was. I then ordered the part which came very prompyly. I replaced the solenoid which took very little skill (I have Parkinsons Disese) and had no trouble with the replacement.
All went welll and now I have watr and ice and a quarter of the pric eof having a tech come out. QED (Quad erat demastratum) Quite easily done

Water Leak
original was 1/4 and new one is 3/8, I had to buy another adapter to fit 3/8 but that didn't fit too well either, I eventually had to wrap with tapes around the hose so it would be tighter, at least it's not leaking anymore.
water leak at valve, no ice, no water thnbrough the door
The repair would have been very easy, however, the replacement valve had a change to the outlet size from 5/16" to 1/4". I had to build a reducer coupling (brass). I have been searching for a quick connect poly reducing union that is leak free. I had to order one as it is not a standard item at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. As we stand now
... Read more, I have ice cubes and cold water through the door. Found a crack in the 5/16" original line at the connection. Cut that section away and put the coupling in. Had to really tighten up on the brass fitting to stop any minor leaks. It has been leak free for 4 days, but I will still put the quick connect part in when it arrives. BTW Parts Select does not stock the quick connect reducing union.

Ice maker was not working.
I checked all areas such as water flow in the door and to see if any of the lines from the water valve was clogged. After finding that the lines were clear and the water flow was good through the door. I also checked the Ice maker to make sure it was going through its cycles. I also noticed the valve was making a loud noise when it would
... Read more try to put water in the Ice maker. I did check the line to the Ice maker inside the refrigerator to see if the water had frozen in the tube. I removed the two screws that hold in the valve and reconnected the water line and the line heading to the lce maker and now my Ice maker is fully functional and making ice like always. The repair was easy and anyone could do it. Also remember to unplug appliances when you work on them, just a safety reminder.

What size is the outlet side of this part, is it 1/4"or 5/16"? I need 5/16"outlet
For model number 253.54662402
Hi Norman,
Thank you for your inquiry. Underneath the part description, it does indicate that this inlet has a 1/4". I have indicated the correct valve, according to your model number, for your appliance. Good luck with your repair.
I get water to the filter but not to the dispenser!?
For model number FGHF2366PF
Hi Carl, thank you for reaching out. We suggest that you check the water inlet valve, part number PS7321353, water filter, part number PS2364646, and the water filter base, part number PS12364175, as these could get clogged or damaged and cause this issue. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
I have a leak coming from under the front of the refrigerator, took the floor guard off, i found water running down a tube that has a connector to it. Is there a problem with the water intake valve.The change filter light is on, and the water flow is slow.I have Frigidaire pure water and filtration system. The ice maker is making ice. The model # is frs26znh, that is the # inside the refrigerator. Thanks alphonso smith
For model number FRS26ZNH
Hello Alphonso, thank you for your question. It sounds like you may have a small break or hole in the water line itself. I would recommend changing the water tube itself before replacing the valve, unless the water is coming directly from the water valve itself. I hope this helps!

Ice make leaks causing ice tray to ice up and ice to turn into bergs! I've replaced both solenoids, dual and single and still have ice maker leaking. Any ideas that might help?
For model number 25358087898
Hello Ric, thank you for your question. It sounds like maybe the icemaker is drawing too much water. If the water valve has been replaced and you're still getting too much water to the icemaker, the icemaker itself will probably have to be replaced. I hope this helps!

Just want to make sure this is the correct valve to replace ice maker water supply valve on my model of fridge. Thank you.
For model number Frigidaire FRT18L4JMP
Hello Dan, thank you for your question. This unit wasn't equipped with a valve when it was made, and therefor the part is not listed on the replacement parts list. However, if the part number came off the part you're looking to replace, and this is what it referenced when searched on our site, then this is the correct replacement. I hope this helps!
