PDS22SFSDRSS General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

I was missing a part. The ice maker bin. I found it from the site with no hassle.I just called the customer servoce number on the site and ordered with the rep. My part was at my door step in no time. I love that part anout it.

turn off ice maker Shut off supply to fridge unplugged fridge unhooked water supply line unplugged harness plug to valve.

Unplugged the refrigerator first....then on the inside of the fridge, I popped the temp sensor cover off (upper LH side) and exposed the old sensor. I snipped off the old sensor about 3" down from the end and connected the new sensor (which I trimmed down to about 3" long) with some heat shrink wire nuts/connectors. Let the fridge run for a day or so and confirmed the problem was solved! Oh yeah, there was no way to tell the 2 wires apart (power vs. ground) on the sensor. However there was a manufacturer's stamp on the wires. So note the orientation of the text and mark one of the wires with a sharpie on both the old and new sensor before trimming. This will give you a reference for which wires to connect when adding the new sensor to the old wires.

Hi, My furnace when out when I was away, frozen water lines were repaired, but my ice maker line was turned off, the valve split open. Summer is coming I want ice! I found the right replacement, ordered it, watched the free video, did the repair. It was so easy. And I saved an expensive service call. I am drinking a soda with ice from the ice maker as I type this! Thanks for solving my problem, I will be back next time something needs a part! Bob

I first disconnected the plug from the wall outlet. I then turned off the water supply to the back of the refrigerator. I then disconnected the two lines to the water inlet valve and removed the nut that holds the bracket to the refrigerator. I removed the water valve and installed the new one the same way in about 5-10 minutes. It was very easy, but, unfortunely that was not the problem.

Easy. Followed the video instrucations. the part was right there next to the compressor.

took water line loose at outlet valve to confirm that water was getting to valve. I ordered part and it arrived the next day. It was very simple installation took 10 minutes. Thanks to parts select, Kirk

replaced valve.

Replaced valve kit and let it run. Took a day for the fill line to thaw and has been making ice like a champ.

Temp. Sensor was under an egg shaped cover on the left side wall in the refrigerator. Remove the cover, cut the two wires to the old sensor and remove it. Connect the new sensor to the two wires using butt connectors. Replace cover and done.

Located temperature sensor on condenser in the freezer section( as per instructional video ). Cut off bad sensor with wire cutter then soldered on the new sensor and sealed with electrical shrink wrap.

Replacement of the single outlet valve kit went very well. But, water was still not dispensing. I checked if the valve was working by taking the following steps after installing the new valve: unplugging the refrigerator, disconnecting the water line from the underside of the new valve (line to the ice maker), putting a container under the valve to potentially catch water, plugging the refrigerator back in to start the cycle of the ice maker (remember that the cycle will start only if the temperature cold enough). I saw that the valve worked by dispensing water for a short period of time into the container. Taking my chances (with my limited experience), I disassembled the ice maker in the freezer and found that the water line was plugged with ice. So, I really didn't need to replace the valve after all. But, I'm glad I gained some experience.

There were only 3parts listed to check omed out the defrost heater and thermostat ....thermistor checked bad ordered replacement took less than 2 minutes to replace after I defrosted it again runs fine

Used small screw driver to pry the top of the switch away from left inside wall of freezer side of side-by-side refrig./freezer; then used pliers to remove the switch; then removed the 3 prong socket and plugged it to new switch and installed it into the inside wall of the freezer.

Changed out the valve the water line hooks to in back of fridge and bingo that was the problem , less them 10 min job.
