EI26SS30JW1 Electrolux Refrigerator - Instructions

This was the first time I ever installed a water inlet valve in a refrigerator. I viewed the Parts Select youtube repair video that is available online. In fact, I viewed it a couple times. Ultimately, the actual installation of the water inlet valve went exactly as shown in the youtube video. I did not experience any problems with the installation and was quite happy with the experience.

1. Turn off water in line to refrigerator. 2. disconnect hose from refrigerator. 3. Remove back cardboard panel at bottom of refrigerator. 4 Remove 2 screws holding in the valve assembly at bottom right. 5. best way I found to remove hoses (all color coded) is to cut with razor knife at the white collar. cut clean and square. 6. disconnect electrical (also color coded) 7. connect hoses to valve assembly by pushing hose firmly into hole. If you are familiar with PEX then this is the same. Reconnect electrical. Reconnect to refrigerator... 3,2,1 your done. It will take a couple cycles to get the air out of the lines.

(0) UNPLUG FROM ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE ANY WORK IS PERFORMED. (1) Remove trim plate: Use fingernails to evenly pry up. It is only held in by plastic tabs, so be careful not to bend while removing the trim plate. (2) Remove touch module: Remove two black Phillips head screws, then release wire connectors on backside of control module, lift and remove module. Remove cup shield by removing Phillip head screws. (3) Remove water/ice dispensing module: Remove water filler tube from plastic clips (note: tube is installed with end slightly lower than module and there is a notch to the left side of module where the tube is routed and held in place behind module). Remove two Phillip head screws and remove module. ****INSTALL NEW MODULE AND ALL PARTS IN REVERSE ORDER****PLUG REFRIGERATOR IN TO ELECTRICAL SOURCE AFTER ALL PARTS ARE INSTALLED

Followed the instructions from another person in the Part Select water valve section and from the video on the same page. Excellent instructions and very easy installation. Water dispenser and ice maker began performing properly as soon as the refrigerator was plugged back in to the power.

We decided to get a new fridge, after the " sticker shock " of new refrigerators we decided to repair the one we have. Two screws and one plug and the ice maker was replaced, took out the broken crisper shelf, put in the new one and that was done, instructions were great. I actually had to watch a " how to " video, ( provided by your web site ) to change the shelf support, very easy. thanks, Gary Hoyle

after watching the video I followed to the tee used the screw driver tapped out the old peg and removed the stem in minutes I was tapping in the new parts

Cost of motor was 70% of complete ice maker. So I changed complete ice maker. Remove food from freezer. Remove ice drawer. Two screws and a four prong plug to change out complete ice maker. Use adjusting screw to assure water completely fills tray but doesn't spill, Suggest you set for less water an one a little each ice cycle until a full cube.

If this happens to you the first thing I would do is shut off the freezer and, using a hair dryer, melt the ice in the ice maker and heat up the water inlet to make sure it is not froze up. Turn the freezer back on and wait to see if that cures the problem. If not, order the new water inlet valve and follow the simple instructions in the video provided on the PartSelect website. I have never have a more pleasant experience with any parts/repair service than I did with PartSelect. After ordering that part it came within the time they stated and their help with the install was great. Also helpful were the other customers talking about their problems and solutions.Thanks to PartSelect I now have Ice and a happy wife. Happy wife--happy life.

The new inlet valve came with pisco connectors so had to cut the end of the tubes off. Before doing this I marked all the tubes to make sure they were replaced in the correct order. The pisco connectors are great to use and very quick. The total install time was about 20 to 30 minutes. While you have the back of the frig off make sure you vaccuum the fan and coils. It was making ice in less than 20 minutes.

watched the youtube video from PartsSelect and was able to remove old water inlet valve easily and install new one with little effort. The hoses on my refrigerator were a bit different than shown in video, but I was able to modify them and it's working just fine now. Thank you PartsSelect !

Pulled out the old seal by hand. Cleaned the opening. Pressed the new seal in place. The entire process took about five minutes

Turn ice maker off. Loosen two screws. Lift ice maker off. Pull plug apart. Remove icemaker. Plug new ice maker in. Mount to screws and tighten. Turn on ice maker. Then you can stop cursing icemaker..Fixed!!!!!

first copy the explored view of all the parts ' ice maker tray ' then just take it apart slowly you need to get the blades back in the correct order and position thats what the exploded view is for in case you forget then you replace the blade and reassemble , it take a good hour .

Purchased a new ice maker assembly and installed. Very easy

Easy to install (self explanitory)
