Features & Benefits
-
OEM-quality fit: Engineered to precise specifications for models listing 241685703, ensuring reliable operation and correct mounting. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+1
-
Restores dispenser control: Replaces a failed or sticky actuator so the water dispenser responds properly when the pad or lever is pushed.
-
Cost-effective repair: Rather than replacing the entire dispenser module or front panel, replacing the actuator often solves the problem for less.
-
Durable construction: Built for frequent use and designed for integration with the dispenser assembly mechanism.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Is Needed
-
The water dispenser pad/lever presses but no water flows (or only a trickle), even though water supply is good.
-
You hear the dispenser control but the actuator does not engage, or feels loose/“dead”.
-
The dispenser pad is wobbly or the tactile feel is degraded—suggesting internal actuator failure.
-
You’ve already checked the water valve, supply line and filter, and the issue persists — the actuator may be the culprit.
-
Models with illuminated dispenser pads where the light fails — sometimes the actuator includes illumination wiring.

Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm the dispenser pad mounting style, actuator lever type, and connector/wiring harness in your unit—though the number matches, slight variations may exist across production runs.
-
If the dispenser still doesn’t work after replacing the actuator, check the water valve, filter, supply line and dispenser board—these may also contribute.
-
Installing the new actuator typically involves removing the front dispenser bezel or panel, disconnecting wiring, and carefully aligning the actuator lever to the pad mechanism.
-
Because the actuator is part of the dispenser assembly, mis-installation may cause the pad to get stuck or water to leak — ensure secure fit and that the dispenser door closes properly.
