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.

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.

It was way to ez to install only a couple of minutes that's it

Turned the wire protector to the side. Turned out the old bulb and replaced it with the new. Turned the wire protector back in place and I'm like new.

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.

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

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.

Fan Quit So did the Ice Maker. $150.00 worth of parts plus my time. Also the Freezer Floor cracked for some stupid reason.

First i shut the water valve off going to the fridge, I then removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Then i took the water line loose to the element, reverse the prosses and put all back on new element and installed,

Simple just remove the old veg. cover and the center track and replace both parts. Removed the rubber seals from the old veg. cover and installed on the new cover.
One problem I found out the drawers were not interchangable, the drawers have to go in a certain way and should not be sewitched from one side to another. I found that moving the drawers to the right position corrected the problem. The left drawer was bumping and did not work corectly until I swithche the drawers around. Also the GE Service man was here for a repair when we first moved in and the fridge was new and he gave me a tip about the drawers. He said to put a little cooking oil on your finger tip and rub it on the drawer slides, it makes them slide smoothly and freely.

Simply removed the old cover and snapped the new one in place. Note that I had ordered this part from a local appliance service center and the part had been "backordered from the factory" for almost a month. I order the part from PartsSelect on a Saturday and received it the following Tuesday. ----excellent service!!

The repair was simple. I simply applied pressure slowly and carefully (from underside of cover pushing upward) to remove the old damaged cover veggie pan. I had to be careful so that I wouldn't ruin the two support posts that supported the cover. They seemed to be a little weak. I applied pressure until the cover was separated from support posts. Next, I slid the new cover into place, and applied pressure (pushing from top side downward) until teeth snapped into place to latch onto support posts. The repair was then done, and I restocked my fridge.
