HFK: When I installed it, it was not working right, no water coming through. I turned off the water supply and went away for 3 days. Upon my return I turned on the water supply, and small amount about 30% of water started filling the tray. The next day, it started filling up with water at 100%, by the next day the ice box is full of ice cubes. It finally work successfully.

MKay: Money well spent because it saved a service call which probably would have cost over $200. Works perfectly. Probably one of the easiest appliance repairs you can make on your own. It's easy because if you can get to the back of the refrigerator you will see the valve module before picking up a single tool.

Here's an important tip.

Watch a YouTube video and every one will suggest taking photos of the electrical and hose connections before proceeding. This is correct but photos are not good enough. When the tubes are still connected to the old module it will be difficult to take a photo of all the connections. If you remove 2 of the easier to reach tubes you can immediately connect them to the new module prior to installing it. For the remaining 2 tubes I studied my photos over and over and could not decide which of those 2 tubes when into which port. I got it right but I could have gotten it backwards.

Here's the tip that I wish I had thought of. Using a magic marker on the old valve module, put a number or letter on each of the 4 blue barrels and their corresponding tubes. Then write the same numbers or letters on the new solenoid barrels. The rest should be...

Toni N.: I used the part on a 16 years old Frigidaire two-door fridge to replace the original valve. This one works as new if not even better since it seems to me more water flows out during dispensing through the fridge's water system. Quality appears as the original, I can't speak of its longevity but so far so good, I am happy about the fix as opposed to going with the expensive option of buying a new fridge.

DT_TO: I found out in the spring that I didn't winterize my Frigidaire Professional fridge at my cottage properly and the frozen water split this part as well as the water filter in the fridge. I looked this up, ordered it and it arrived quickly. I found a video on the internet about how to install it and it was very straight forward to install. If yours broke due to freezing you may also need a new water filter so order it at the same time!

LSKDecatur: I don't normally do reviews unless I find something that's really bad or really good. This one is REALLY GOOD!

I bought this to replace a valve in a 14-yr-old Frigidaire Pro Series side by side refrigerator. I looked over the half-dozen or so valves on Amazon and chose this one because it was middle-priced and had only a handful of negative reviews. But I was still apprehensive as the negative reviews mentioned a non-genuine part and leaking connectors. I'm happy to say that my experience was all positive.

The item came in an Electrolux box with the Frigidaire logo (as well as others) on it and looks identical to the one it is replacing, so it appears to be a genuine OEM part.

One of my concerns was that I would replace the valve only to find it is not the problem at all, or that maybe the replacement was a dud, and I would have no way of knowing which. I was pleased to see that the box included a detailed diagnostic sheet with a thorough step-by step procedure for determining if the existing valve is indeed faulty and needs replacing. As a side benefit, the procedures gave me a thorough understanding of exactly how the refrigerator water system works. I...

J S: 16 year old Frigidaire fridge suddenly stopped pumping water and making ice one day. Looked at the rear of the fridge and noticed the water and ice lines are separately routed but both tee off this one part, so I knew it wasn’t a filter clog or frozen line somewhere. Bought this genuine OEM Frigidaire part after watching videos online showing how to replace it, looked easy enough and it truly was. Tips I would share:

The valve on some older models uses screw-on compression hoses versus the quick connect ports on this part. If you have a valve with screw-on fittings, don’t panic - websites like PartSelect and AppliancePartsPros have videos on YouTube showing how to deal with the conversion, it’s super simple, just cut the nipple off the end of each line with a sharp utility knife 1/8" behind the nipple, there's plenty of extra line available. I recommend the watching the PartSelect video, very straight-forward and easy to understand.

The hoses and power connectors are color coded, but there’s a catch: the power connectors are able to be installed backwards. Be sure to snap a photo of the part BEFORE you disconnect thins so you can get your wiring correct....
