the side rails on the fruit draws broke and i had the water inlet vale bust on the ice maker.
i just removed the philip screws on the old ones and instaled the new rails.the water valve was easy with the water lines had a quick disconect on them,then used pliers to remove the rest of it.the repairs are very easy.
Instructions were simple and easy and the repair went well. The best part about your service is the troubleshooting. Searched for the symptoms and found the parts. Ordered them and installed. Fixed the problem just like you said it would. Thanks

Shut off water supply line to refrigerator, place towel or rag under corner of refrigerator where unit is located (to catch spillage when lines are disconnected).

The water dispenser is not working, but the ice machine works and it dispenses ice, just no water. Everything else works with the fridge. Thoughts?
For model number gss22jetacc
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for the question. The water valve has two side, one for the dispenser and one for the ice maker. It is common that only one side will become defective. Sounds like you need to replace the water inlet valve if the dispenser is not getting water.
Hope this helps!

Hello, i have a GE gss25jerfww refrigerator and it's leaking just past this part (ps966952) when i use get water from of the door dispenser. I was wondering what size water line does this part accommodate. I've identified cracks in the line, but i don't know what size it is. I plan on using a union connector to remove/replace the cracked section, but i don't know what size the water line is. Should i get 1/4" or 5/16" water line to hook up to this inlet valve? Thanks for your time. Leonard peoples
For model number PS966952
Hello Leonard, thank you for contacting us. The water valve has 2 different sized lines connected to it, one is 1/4" and the other is 5/16". Hope this helps!

I have replace the water valve however i still am not getting water to the ice maker or door dispenser. Any suggestions?
For model number GSS20ETHB BB
Hello Bob, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing the limit switch in the dispenser area which is Part #: PS8259956. The dispenser switch is what tells your refrigerator that it is ok to dispense ice or water. If your refrigerator is not dispensing ice or water, you may have a faulty or damaged switch. I hope this helps.

No water ,have water in inlet valve, but none coming out of door.
For model number Gss201etc we
Hello Mark, thank you for your question. If you can't remember replacing your water filter, it's probably time to change it. These filters can get clogged over time causing the water flow to be disrupted and thus, preventing the water dispenser from functioning properly. Find the water dispenser line and unscrew the screws holding it in place. Then hold the water button at the front of your fridge down to see if any water comes through. If it does, it's likely there was an air clog in the line which should now be removed. We hope this helps.

I have a GE. Frig that will not dispense water from the front door. I have now replaced the micro switch inside and also the water solenoid valve in the back. I get ice from the front panel but no water. Can you tell me what i should try now because i'm out of ideas! Thanks, bill j.
For model number GSS20GSDBSS
Hello Bill, thank you for inquiring. For this symptom you will want to replace either the Dispenser Door Solenoid Assembly part PS1483583, the Union Connector part PS758446, or the Grommet / Tube Assembly part PS292253. We hope this helps.

I bought your water valve for the back of the frig and instaled it. I now know i am getting water to the union connector in the front of the frig. So, i think i have a frozen water line going up the side of the frig. And into the water dispenser area. I put a hair dryer on the line and i do not get any warm air coming out where the water should be. So. What is the best way to thaw this line and reservoir area out so the line is clesr?
For model number GSS20GSDBSS
Hello William, thank you for inquiring. Besides the hairdryer, you could soak the frozen water line with hot water. You could also apply hot water to it with a turkey baster. You may also want to check the Union Connector, part PS758446 on your model. We hope you find this helpful.
