Frigidaire 242043902 Ice Maker Mold and Heater

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 242043902 is a refrigerator ice maker mold and heater assembly designed to replace a failed or damaged original-equipment ice tray in compatible refrigerator models. The mold collects water from the ice maker fill valve, freezes it into uniform cubes, and the integrated heater briefly warms the mold surface to release the finished cubes into the storage bin. This part is a direct OEM-style replacement that restores normal ice production cycles. Appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this part to bring an ice maker back to full operation without replacing the entire ice maker assembly.

This ice maker mold and heater is designed for use in residential refrigerators equipped with a standard twist-release or flex-tray ice maker system. It is applicable to Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Crosley refrigerator models that share this ice maker platform. When the mold cracks, warps, or the heater element fails, ice cubes may not release properly or ice production may stop entirely. Replacing the mold and heater assembly resolves both issues in a single repair.

Key Features

• Integrated heater element releases finished ice cubes from the mold without manual flexing
• Produces uniform ice cubes consistent with OEM ice maker output
• OEM-style fit eliminates the need to modify mounting points or wiring harness
• Compatible across Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Crosley refrigerator platforms
• Replaces a cracked, warped, or heater-failed mold to fully restore ice production

Compatibility

Compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Crosley refrigerators. Verify your model number against the original part number 242043902 before ordering to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before beginning any ice maker service. Allow the freezer compartment to reach a safe working temperature and remove any residual ice from the bin and mold area before removal. This repair is typically performed by an appliance technician or a qualified DIYer familiar with refrigerator ice maker disassembly. Consult the appliance service manual for the specific model to confirm connector locations and mounting hardware before reinstalling the assembly.
