Unplug electrical power to refrigerator. Disconnected electrical power to water valve, Disconnected water inlet and out let lines from valve. Remove screw holding valve on refrigerator, removed and replaced water valve with screw. Connected inlet and outlet water lines, turned on water and checked for leaks. Connected electrical power to water valve, plug in electrical power to the refrogerator. Ice maker tray fill, made ice.
valve wouldn't allow enough water to fill ice maker.
Started with a visual inspection. Turned off water. Removed old valve. Bent bracket to facilitate installation. Installed. Hooked up. Tested. Works as advertised.....
1st - checked water supply - old valve in water line was closed with sediment. 2nd - replaced water line valve and reconnected copper tubing about 1 hour 3rd. removed single outlet valve and installed the new part - about 15 minutes
Everything went well and was very easy. Unfortunately, the ice maker still does not work. Still trying to understand what is wrong.
My Son removed two screws, electric plug and two (2) compresion nuts. He had to bend the bracket to fit, then replace it, in reverse order except the filler tube on the new valve was of a "stabb-in" type. Job was a piece of cake and this small project, solved all our problems with the Ice maker.
Shut the water off, removed two screws,removed the inlet, from the water valve then the line from the valve to the ice maker. Then you reverce these steps and you are done. The shipping time was the best I have ever seen. Thanks
Mounting bracket did not fit. Retainer for water input looked like a thread protector.
Put bracket on workbench and hit two or three times with hammer. Glad I did not remove water inlet retainer from part, it can very easily be mistaken for a thread protector.
Pulled the two wires out from the access hole in the lower part of the refrigerator. Put them in the spade connectors on the new switch, and pushed the switch into place.
Determined that the little door that opens to allow full size cubes to fall was not opening. If you open freezer door, hold door switch in, select cubes and push in the lever that the glass pushes in you should hear the solenoid lift open which opens the little door. Mine was doing nothing. Removed ice bin and then removed icemaker motor/solenoid section from back of freezer by disconnecting two wire harnesses and one screw. Found that solenoid smelled burnt and could see that inside of the solenoid was swollen out of round and burnt. Simple to replace.
Had never installed one before and was not sure which was top or bottom. The piece was made different than the original
Unhooked power to valve Removed old valve by taking out 2 screws. Used adjustable wrench to remove water lines. Then reversed and hooked everything back up
