BISW42ELE General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

The disassembly and reassembly was straightforward but the parts diagram was very helpful to help you get it back together. Make sure you get the convexity of the clip that retains the clear plastic barrel to the auger pointing in the right direction. The metal plate that that comes out with the assembly seems to rust as fast as the auger, so you should just order that when you order the auger. I did not replace the plate so I cleaned it and painted it with epoxy paint before I reassembled.

Using plyers Pulled old switch down and out. Put new one in and pushed new switch up into position. The switch plugs into the contacts, no wiring needed. Worked like a charm. You saved me 200 dollars GE repair bill. Thanks

Replaced valve with only one difficulty - the electrical spade connectors were different size. Did not come with adapters, as described on the web site.

removed the inside fridge electrical panel and swapped switches

Removed ice buscket from freezer, removed 4 screws holding front cover on, set aside old ice bucket, set new ice bucket in place and reinstalled screws, putback in freezer, done. Maybee ten minutes.

I pulled the refrigerator away from the wall. I turned the water supply valve off. With a nut driver I removed the screws holding the flexible cover on the back of the refrigerator, and set it aside. Next, again using the nut driver, I removed the screw form the clamp holding the copper tubing to the back of the refrigerator. Using a 1/2 inch open end wrench I took the copper tube off the water valve. Then, using the nut driver I removed the screw which holds the valve in place. I then unplugged the electrical wiring,and removed the two flexible tubes. I pulled the compression nuts from the flexible tubes, and inserted them into the new water valve, re-connecter the electrical wiring plugs, mounted the new valve to the refrigerator, reconnected the copper tubing to the new valve, turned the water supply valve on to be sure there was no leaks, secured the copper tubing to the refrigerator replaced the flexible cover, and then moved the refrigerator back in it's original position.

I turned off the power and water supply to the refrigerator Pulled fridge out,found leak at water valve. Removed valve,got on internet found partsselect and was able to match it up by model and picture. It was a lot easier than I expected it to be, thanks to the pictures. I ordered the part on Sunday night and got it Tuesday. Unbelievable. Put it in in about 10 minutes and drinking cold water with ice cubes again. The fridge wasnt down long enough to acually run out of ice. the fridge is 12 years old and keeping its maintenance low is a priority. If I had to hire a repair service we would probably thought seriously about replacing it.

order new augerand ice bucked changed face plate 4 screws now have good clean ice

1) This is a built-in refrigerator with the compressor, coils, etc. at the top. Turn off the breaker to the fridge. 2) Remove the front panel off the top (just push up and pull out). 3) Removed 2 screws to the old timer and carefully remove the plug. Plug the new timer in and screw in. 4) Since our fridge was heavily frosted up, we moved everything to another refrigerator and coolers and kept the refrigerator off until all panels were room temperature. 5) If you haven't cleaned the coil in a while, vacuum it with a soft brush attachment. 6) Turned back on and the refrigerator is cooler than ever!

easy pry out, disconnect wiring, connect on new switch and press in switch.

We were really afraid we wouldn't find the parts we needed for out older refrigerator/freezer, but found exactly what we needed at PartSelect.com. Everything was shipped to our door very quickly, and all were very easy to put back together, so we once again have ice! Thanks.

Just replaced the auger from the old one

Replaced auger and front helix kit.

Easy easy easy. Pulled the refrigerator out. Took off the old valve, cleaned around the connection, installed the new one, connected the tubing, turned on the water, connected the electrical connections, plugged it back in, checked for leaks, and walla...got water...Thanks for the help and great service. I even received the valve shipped standard delievery via Fed ex couldn't afford the overnight, and received the part next day... GREAT!!It took me 15 minutes to complete.

All I had to do was remove four (4) screws from the old ice bucket assembly to remove the front cover and attach it with the existing screws to the new ice bucket assembly. It was a very simple repair. Thanks for the expedient delivery and the exact replacement part that I needed.
