Part 242270218 Dispenser Control Module
Purpose
Manages ice and water dispensing functions.
Details
The 242270218 is a genuine OEM dispenser control module, also referred to as a dispenser funnel frame or module, for Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerators. This integrated component houses the dispenser paddle and the critical electronic switches that signal the water valve and ice auger motor to activate. It is essential for providing the user interface at the refrigerator door for daily ice and water access. Common symptoms of failure include the dispenser failing to respond when the paddle is pressed, intermittent operation of the water or ice functions, or a physically cracked paddle/housing. Replacing this module restores full electronic control and mechanical responsiveness to the external dispenser system.
Included Items
Complete dispenser module with clear paddle and integrated switches; no additional hardware included.
