Followed video instructions which were to unplug refrigerator, on lower back use screwdriver, loosen 4 screws, take off plastic cover, pull out fan, replace with new fan, replace cover and 4 holding screws, plug in refrigerator. I am female, 77 years old and if I can do it, anyone can.
I unplugged the fridge and unscrewed the back cover,unscrewwd the two screws holding the water valve in place and the water line to the ice maker and the electrical connection and install the new water valve,then buttoned everything back up and plugged the fridge back in and it is working great,making ice as normal.
i just pulled out the old frame and plced down the new fit perfect no tools required... .i will definetaly order from this company again love the "speedyness"!!!
With the help of your parts breakdown, illustration and videos it was real easy to replace motor. Must take care with plastic cover Thank you Larry Bisson
The repair was a simple replacement. The problem was that after waiting three weeks for the new drawer to arrive I had to call the company and ask what the delay was?? They said the first order was lost in the mail?? Second order arrived within a week. But we didn't enjoy having to wait this long.
Pull refrigerator from wall and disconnect the water line and unplug the power.
On top of the icemaker, two machine screws hold the icemaker to the side of the refrigerator. You will have to feel around to find the machine screws, but once you do, it is simple to slip the appropriate size socket over the hex heads. I found it helpful to have an extension on the socket wrench. Disconnect the power cable inside the refrigerator (there are little pressure clips on the side that help release the cable) and move it out of the way for the time-being.
Back out both machine screws several turns, but do not remove them completely. The icemaker slips over the screws, so leaving them in the side of the refrigerator makes that process a lot easier. Hand tighten the machine screws once you have positioned the new icemaker in place. One thing to be sure and do is make sure the water line hose coming out of the back of the refrigerator inside is on top of the icemaker. It fits into a slot in the top of the icemaker - failing to do this will result in water pouring into the freezer compartment, not into the icemaker..
Reconnect the power cable to the new icemaker and tuck it up behind the icemaker assembly. Tighten the machine screws completely, but do not over-tighten.
Reconnect the water line on the back of the refrigerator at the wall, and plug in the refrigerator. You should hear the unit fill immediately.
In about an hour you should have ice filling the bin. Enjoy!
Pulled the refrigerator out from the wall. Then unplugged it took my nutdriver with a1/4" socket on it and took out the screws from the cardboard back on the bottom of the refrigerator. Then I removed the two screws holding the water valve on. Then I unscrewed the supply water line from the main water inlet valve. Then I removed the outlet waterline going to the ice maker from the water valve. Then I reversed the procedure to put it back together. Hooked up the main water line and turned the water valve on for the water to flow to the valve at first nothing happened had to wait for a couple of hours for everything else to get to the right temperature before the ice maker would start making ice.
I worked for GM as a Frigidaire Tech, before starting my own business. I have retired now. I took the three screws off the back of the bracket holding the motor. Disconected wire harness and pulled out the motor. Reverse to install. servantoftheking@hughes.net
very nioce rental unit, people slammed door w/Crisprers open
No big deal. Placed the order, got the replacement. Put them in and that was that! The great thing is, I have a perfect refrigerator for new renters. It would have been a lost rent without these easy to get parts. Thank you.
