About This Product

Dealing with a refrigerator that's not dispensing water or making ice? This Protac 4-way water valve is likely your solution! This replacement part (model 242253002) fits numerous Electrolux, Kenmore, White Westinghouse, Crosley, and other brand refrigerators. The valve controls water flow to both your ice maker and water dispenser, so when it fails, you lose both functions. Installation is pretty straightforward if you're comfortable with basic appliance repair - just make sure to shut off the water supply first! The quality matches OEM specifications, and it comes with all the necessary connections. I replaced mine after diagnosing a no-water issue, and the difference was immediate - full water pressure restored to both dispenser and ice maker. The valve construction feels solid, not like cheap aftermarket parts that might fail quickly. Having the correct part number (also replaces AP5669874, 2689640, PS7321353, 242102201) ensures compatibility with your specific refrigerator model. Seriously, if you're experiencing water flow issues with your fridge, this valve is often the culprit and replacing it yourself can save you hundreds in repair costs. The part arrives well-packaged with clear identification, making it easy to verify you have the right component before starting your repair. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or just trying to avoid expensive service calls, this water valve delivers reliable performance that restores your refrigerator's full functionality.
