remove old valve, water lines and electrical wires and replace water lines, duel water valve and wires

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.

replace entire inlet valve (block)

Un-plugged the refrigerator, removed the existing water valve and pressure fittings; replaced the old tubing and reconnected the faston connectors using the two adaptors provided.

Took about 30 minutes.

Works fine although the sound of filling the ice-tray is a bit lauder that the previous valve.

Placed the glass shelf in the new shelf frame and the frame in the refrigerator.

I was unable to positively identify the replacement shelf frame on the GE web site. Part Select's exploded view made it a piece of cake!

The repair took all of 15 minutes. The original part once unscrewed was a little difficult to remove with out damaging other parts. The new part was very easy to install, didn't fit exactly like the original. Had to force into possition. Works great.

It was too simple. I follwed the instruction already on the webb site. 3 easy steps.

Got a new valve

I removed the valve from the fridge with a nut driver, this allowed me to disconnect the two lines and the water main inlet. Re attach the main line and cut off ends of both plastic lines with a razor knife and re insert the two lines. Last was to connect the main water inlet and tighten . The last thing was to turn on the water and check ... Read more for leaks and we had none so put the fridge back in its proper place and job done. Thank you for your help Michael

Observing the ice maker itself was working, and that water was flowing to the dual inlet water valve, I assumed the problem must be a faulty outflow valve. If either of the two valves do not close completely, the water slowly accumulates in the plastic line and freezes as it enters the freezer compartment. A solid plug of ice will form in ... Read more the line, either causing no water to enter the ice tray, or it may leak under pressure when the valve opens briefly (as was my case). The solution was simple: change the dual inlet valve, and while this took me approximately 15 minutes to 1)turn off electricity and water to the frig, and 2)replace the part, the plastic tube going to the ice tray warmed up enough as I watched a one inch plug of ice exit the tubing. Once the power and water was turned on, and I checked for leaks, the ice maker worked like new! Not bad for a $30 fix.

Easy easy easy. Pulled the refrigerator out. Took off the old valve, cleaned around the connection, installed the new one, connected the tubing, turned on the water, connected the electrical connections, plugged it back in, checked for leaks, and walla...got water...Thanks for the help and great service.
