242270107 - Electrolux Refrigerator Dispenser

This Electrolux Refrigerator Dispenser (242270107) is a genuine part for Electrolux and Frigidaire refrigerators. Designed to provide convenience and efficiency, this dispenser utilizes a combination of mechanical and electrical components. Upon user activation, through pressing a button or using a touchpad, an electrical signal is communicated to the control board. This in turn activates a motor, setting in motion a series of gears and levers that open a valve to dispense water or ice. Users have the choice between chilled water, crushed ice, or cubed ice, selectable via a control panel. Moreover, integrated sensors ensure accurate dispensing by detecting the presence of a glass or container. Commonly referred to as the "dispenser switch and lever assembly," this part is crucial for the smooth operation of the dispenser function in your appliance. It should be noted that the specific role and location of this dispenser may vary depending on the model of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator struggles to dispense water or ice, or if you notice an issue with selecting the different dispensing options, it's likely an indication that this part could be failing. Before purchasing, check your refrigerator’s model number to guarantee compatibility with this indispensable component.
