ZISW48DYB General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

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

Ordered this part after i replaced the plastic tubes on the back as the problem persisted. loosen the nuts holding the water inlet lines, remove the cover to the valve. remove the valve and the water inlet line to the the valve. Disconnect the 2 outlets from the valve. 1 outlet to icemaker and other outlet to water cooler (bigger). Connect water inlet and 2 outlets to the new valve, test the water lines. Found the inlet is leaking, removed it and added teflon tape and reconnect it. All is done. Then I left the freezer door open for 3 hours to melt the ice on the wrong places and all is well.

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!

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!!

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.

Just replaced the auger from the old one

I watched the Utube video, repeated the process at home while awaiting the part, and installed the flapper door in about 15 minutes after it arrived--piece of cake. The hardest part was removing the escutcheon plate on the front of the freezer door. I figured out I could slide a putty knife under it and the rest of the project was completed in no time at all.

I replaced tie ice Dispenser Plate & thye ice Bucket Auger.I read the previous installation instructions written on this website first.Good info! I copied the Parts diagram on the website, this really helped. I also took my phone camera and took pictures as I was taking the parts apart. The only problem I had was with the Wire Actuator Display Rod,making sure the spring tension was correct and positioned the correct way when I reassembled it. I was able to look at my pictures and assemble it back the correct way. I put the ice bucket assembly back in the refrig and it works great. No more rusty Ice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The flapper on the ice chute was curled up and not creating a good seat, so the chute kept clogging up with frozen condensation, especially during the humid summer months. The online video made it so easy to replace the part myself. I was able to fix the problem in under 15 minutes and at a fraction of the price!

Took out one hex screw, disconnect electric couplings, pulled original ice maker out and found that the water supply line to the ice maker was frozen solid as well as the shute cup. Used hair dryer to thaw out the line and the cup reinstaled old ice maker and it worked fine. Did not have to use the new part at all at this time. Am keeping new part for future use.

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.
