ZISW48DCB General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

The trim piece covering the opening of the dispenser is the first and most difficult part of the disassembly. Take care when removing this piece that it does not break.

just i took off the actuator and replace with the new one in 8 minutes.It was so easy.

Took picture before I disassembled

Watched video on the parts order information page and did the repair. Very helpful made me feel like I could do the repair

Checked the defroster coil which is located behind the rear panel in the freezer compartment, it was still working. Followed the schematics down to the defrost timer, which is located in the lower front of the refrigerator and tried that. Plugged in the new part and the problem is solved.

Solenoid pushing the crushed ice flapper was burned out. Solenoid was easy to find unplug and replace. I used the old piston which simplified things. Now works great

Followed the online video exactly and it was easily done. Couldn't have been better. The problem is solved.

We watched the video and it was super easy! Once the circuit board was replaced, everything worked perfectly! Thanks so much for helping us keep this refrigerator in working order!

Replace primary and secondary valves located on the back of reef ridge on bottom right hand.side

Reviewed video which was very helpful. Loosened two philips head screws, lifted up ice maker, unpluged power suppy and reinstalled. One of the easiest replacements ever!!

I found the leaking part. Took off and found the part I needed in less than a min on the Part Select website. I was amazed!!! It was so easy. After receiving the part in 2 days, I installed it quite easily and pluged everthing in and turned back on the water. It worked great and a potential $250 repair became a $50 repair. Thanks!!!

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

I disconnected power to the refrigerator. Pried the face plate plate off the front of dispenser(plastic plate that has symbols for ice, water, light). Removed four screws. Gently removed and unplugged dispenser controller (You have to remove the rubber cover of the actuator - it pops off). Removed one screw to dispenser assembly crank. Assembled flapper, spring, and crank. Re-assembled in reverse order.

Removed complete back door panel (which took longer than 15 minutes, if I had started correctly it would not have taken me as long) then I figured out that the plastic plate with the GE symbol and water/crushed ice/ice label can be easily pried off. May want to do this with the freezer door open so the dispenser doesn't operate, or unplug unit. 1. Removed 4 philip head screws. 2. Pull out rubber switch cover used to dispense the water/ice. 3. Gently pry out plastic square piece behind rubber switch cover. 6. Gently pry out plastic control housing. 7. Note orientation of electrical plug, maybe take a picture with phone, on left hand side and disconnect. 8. Pull control housing out. 9. Replace housing in reverse order. To replace logic board: 1. Remove two screws located on each end of the control housing. 2. Remove the plastic strip the screws were holding. Note orientation of strip. 3. Gently pry dispenser and light knobs from housing. 4. Pull logic board out and insert the new board. 5 Reassembly in reverse order. To replace solenoid: 1. Disconnect 2 wires connected to solenoid 2. Remove 3 philips head screws on bottom front of solenoid bracket. 3. Loosen single screw in top of solenoid bracket. 4. Pull out solenoid. 5. Install new solenoid in reverse order. Note Dispenser assembly crank arm should be below the pin in the solenoid plunger. To replace dispenser assembly crank: 1. Note spring position and location. 2. Pull left side of arm from guide. 2. Pull right side of arm out of right side guide hole. 3. Slide spring off of right side arm. 4. Gently pull off dispenser cover, disc. 5. Push disc onto new crank assembly. 5. Install in reverse order.

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.
