EW26SS65GW4 Electrolux Refrigerator - Instructions

Just like the video. I had pulled all the parts of the old pin out of the frig months ago. I had tired to buy a replacement pin, but the local supply store could not get the correct part. I finally did a search and found your website. I was impressed with the pictures and the "how to" video.

Had a leak every night from refrigerator couldn't understand where from. Went on line and found some articles. I was referred to this sight by ads the articles and then in how to. I was pleased that a customer wrote their own instructions on what to do it was more concise clear and made preparation easier. First label towel cup and bucket needed too. Turn off water supply and electrical cord unplug then remove cover behind refrigerator vacuum and clean then. Water makes a mess so clean dry first. Then mark your hoses to remember order. Next remove old inlet and put in bucket it's pressure clamps so push in and it locks I chose to suction pipes and check for damage to pipes pin holes etc next I inserted into new inlet in order. At that time I turned water valve on checked for leaks at initial insert and new inlet. Next I plugged in unit cord. Waited. No leaks so far left for 30 minutes ran ice machine and water dispenser waited 20 minutes no leaks yet. Unplugged refrigerator unit. Installed the inlet completely to base and closed back paper panel after wiping water. Waited 24 hours then smiled no leak. Job done so far 2 weeks all clear. Hope this helps you will need screws driver and wrench for copper or main line I did find same part for less but this sight help me with good instructions the one they provide is for engineers architects lol not me I'm DYI

The old ice maker came out very easy. Remove the ice tray and the upper shelf. Using a nutdriver, loosen the two screws that the unit hangs from and lift the unit up and over the heads of the screws. Then disconnect the electrical harness and the unit is free. To replace the new unit in the freezer, connect the wire harness and hang the unit from the two screws making sure the water feed tube directs into the fill cup. Then tighten the screws. The unit I installed had instructions telling you how to manually advance the unit. I did that so I could see the ice maker fill the first time and check that the ice maker did not overflow. The unit worked perfectly. I had also ordered a water inlet valve, but after replacing the ice maker, my problem was solved so I will be returning the water inlet valve.

The two screws that held the ice maker in place could not be seen do to there location. I could only get one hand inside do to space restriction.So I placed a mirror inside so I could see the screw heads and from point it was very easy to see and line up the nut driver on the screw heads. I then lifted it up and unplugged the wiring and installed the new ice maker. Works like a charm. Paul

This was probably the easiest repair I have done on this refrigerator. I pulled the unit away from the wall, turned off the water, and disconnected the hose. I have a wooden floor in my kitchen so I was careful to put a towel under the hose and valve. Very little water drained out but I kept the towel there for insurance. After removing the access panel, I removed the two screws holding the valve in place, slid it back to where I could unplug the wiring connected to it. The connectors are color coded so there is no worry about putting them back incorrectly. The new valve uses push-in type water connections, so you have to cut the old style connections off of the plastic water lines. Kitchen shears did this easily. Then is was just a matter of pushing each line into the proper connector on the valve, reattach the electrical connectors, and slide the valve back in place. Reinstall the screws, reinstall the access panel, hook up the water hose, slide the unit back into it's niche, and run about a gallon of water through the dispenser and you are done.

The repair was a piece of cake. After a previous day of hours being spent. This was the easiest repair ever. Thank You

I suspected that the On/Off Switch was the problem. (Pressing and holding the switch 'on' for 15 seconds to recycle the icemaker did not bring the ice level control arm to life.) I decided to replace the whole icemaker rather than just the switch. (Do not try to replace the switch...almost impossible.) Steps: 1/Remove the Icecream shelf (lift up the front lip and pull out; 2/remove the Icecube holder tray (lift up the front and pull out.) 3/Remove the two hex head screws which are facing you above the ice maker. 4/Pull the icemaker slowly out and and down to reveal the electrical wiring, and unplug the electrical plug. 5/Follow new instructions re the water hopper and the ice-flapper-thingy on the new icemaker, and turn the new switch to 'off' before you start to install it. 6/Plug in the new icemaker, and push the electrical wiring down to the left as you push the icemaker into place, make sure the back edge of the water hopper goes under the water spout. 7/Replace and tighten the two hex head screws. 8/Press and hold the switch 'on' for 15 seconds or more to cycle the icemaker (the ice level control arm will slowly raise up and then go back down). 9/Replace the Tray and the Shelf. 10/Allow the icemaker time to cool and freeze the newly injected water.(This may take up to 6 hours.) 11/Listen for the sweet sound of the dropping icecubes.

Removed old water pump and cut off ends of all lines. Plugged them into each water inlet/outlet and turned it on. Instant water to dispenser but took about 6 hours for ice maker to get water. Had to prime the ice maker. Works great and saved a lot of money ordering parts from you. Thanks.

just put it in the old hole. the hard part was getting the old one out. you have to poke the center piece in to remove. otherwise you will break your fridge. then you have to to pull the center piece out before you put new in.

husband did it took only a few min part was easy to find

Easy to assemble after cutting original water line fittings off. Use sharp knife to keep from damaging end of water lines.

take of the tray & take parts out & installed the new ones
