E23CS78HSS3 Electrolux Refrigerator - Instructions

Followed instructions in video that was suggested when I placed the order.

I followed the instructions, my ONLY issue was about the Part 46 the Ice Dispenser Actuator Rod. The front of the arm has flared out grooves and it didn't warn me about making sure the rod is properly aligned thru part 23 Front Plate or else when the ice maker actuates the rod it will not move properly if the grooves are not aligned on each side of the Front panel. I hope you can understand what I mean, if not just look at how the Part 46 rests in Part 23

The repair was fast and easy .I removed the ice tray , disconnected the wiring connector and lossend two screws. I removed ice maker assy.and repeated in reverse order to install. I also installed a new water filter. I had ice in about 20 minutes.

First I don't think I would have tried this if not for the video posted on your page. If was highly professionally done with good sound and video quality. Thank you for that. Once I saw that I ordered my part. Took the door off and found the broken part. It was the top bearing. It had broken in two and the shaft part had to be pulled out using needle nosed pilfers which took for of the time for the repair. If I had thought about it I should have ordered the lower one also and replaced that both at the same time, but it worked out for me and I got the door back on which now works as it should. And thank you for checking back with me on the repair. You have a very thoughtful company looking after your clients.

I followed the instruction video.

Straight forward repair. Remove the four screws holding cardboard back. Remove the 2 screws holding the valve. Unscrew the water lines and unplug the electrical connections. I would caution that it would be wise to either take a couple photos or write down the order of connection. Even though it is somewhat color coded and the water lines are different sizes, a photo removes any confusion. My old valve had threaded connections using brass nuts and ferrules. The new valve has push in connections so you need to cut the ferrules off.. When cutting off the tubing, be sure to cut square. An angled or "squished" cut will leak when pushed into the fitting. Attach the valve to the refrigerator with 2 screws and replace the cardboard back and you're finished. While you have the back off is a good time to clean the coils. I left my fridge out and back off for a couple of ice making cycles so I could check for leaks (how I know the tubing needs to be cut very square). All in all, a very easy fix.

Easily removed the refrigerator door, layed it across a table, popped out the lower hinge bearing and lightly tapped in the new one. Reinstalled the door and adjusted alignment. Popping noise gone.

Removed and replace solenoid manifold valve in rear of appliance using inadequate You Tube video. Removed and replaced augur motor after dismantling various housings using a seriously mistaken You Tube video. The latter video informed us that the yoke that screwed on the motor's shaft was a reversed Left Hand thread. It wasn't at all, and we struggled to figure that out. The people that make these videos leave out steps that they thunk are obvious, but aren't at all.

carefully removed retainer from old valve

The u tube instructions were exactly what is needed. I had to cut off the old plastic pipes. My pipe had threaded connectors. Pex push on connection is super easy. You don't really need a block of wood to cut it if you have a sharp utility blade. If if you are sure this is the problem this is a really easy fix. Steps 1 turn off water at wall unplug electric also 2. Disc line at valve on refrigerator 3. Remove 2 screws holding valve 4. Pull valve out and remove plastic hoses and electric connections pay attention to color of pipe and electric connection. Mine were color coded. Had to cut off thread connectors. Reattach in reverse order or do one at a time. Check for leaks.

Following previous installation instructions was very useful. Would add that the nut driver needs to be 1/4 in and to release the water lines from the valve body, simply squeeze the blue ring toward the valve and pull on the water lines at the same time. Simple fix!

Write down where tubing goes, wiring is color coded.

The original part broke. The plastic attachment end of the part snapped off. The new part was easy to attach.

Well, after watching the video before ordering the part, I ordered the correct part. My wife had ordered the wrong part that I had to return and ordered the correct one. To install the glass you just take out the crisper above shelf and lay the glass in place. So simple.

Undo a few bolts unplug power and unhook water lines then recut all lines and push in to new value
