218658000 - Electrolux Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

This Water Inlet Valve (218658000) is a genuine part specifically designed for Electrolux refrigerators, but also fits perfectly with Frigidaire and Gibson models. It's engineered to control the flow from the supply line into the refrigerator for both the ice maker and water dispenser. Essentially, it's a solenoid-operated valve that opens electronically to allow water flow whenever the ice maker or dispenser is activated and stays closed at all other times to prevent unwanted flooding. The valve also features built-in filters to protect against debris and scaling, ensuring a clean and precise water flow for ice making or dispensing purposes. If you notice your refrigerator's ice maker or water dispenser is leaking, or the valve appears stuck and does not regulate water flow properly, it's likely time for a replacement. Symptoms of a failing water inlet valve include unexplained pooling of water inside or outside the refrigerator, a malfunctioning ice maker, or a dispenser that doesn’t dispense water at all. To ensure a perfect match and functionality, please verify your refrigerator's model number for compatibility before purchasing.
