Small water leak from cracked fitting leading into water reservoir fill valve.
Remove some shelving and have a towel handy. Opened water filter door to expose two 1/4” screws. Removed 2 screws. Placed my hands firmly on upper panel and gently pulled/tugged panel forward and slightly down. Disconnected roof lighting clip. Removed panel from frig. Disconnected both ends from solenoid fill valves by pressing in the colored locking piece to release tubing while pulling tube out. Cut zip ties and removed old leaking reservoir. I also removed the straight reservoir seeing as the part I replace was redesigned and the other one was not needed. Put new zip ties in place. Slid the new part into position and pressed the ends into the solenoid valves. You do not need to press in colored locking pieces, they will self lock. Secured with zip ties. Grabbed a container and filled it up with water through the door to fill and purge and check for leaks. Reconnect light clip, reinstalled top liner and snapped into place. Put screws in. Closed filter door. Took about 15 minutes. I did watch a you tube video prior to attempting this repair myself.
We removed the old switch, unplugged it, plugged the new one in and it was easy to do. But when we tried to put the switch back in we had a very hard time doing it. Eventually got it in, but if it had not been for the difficulty we had getting the new switch to snap in to place, it would have taken under 5 minutes.
Can’t do the repair if you keep getting wrong part
1. Call Parts Select to confirm I’m ordering correct part. 2. When FedEx finally delivered expedited shipping, laugh at what was sent. 3. Call Parts Select and ask them to send the part I ordered, not a dryer door. 4. Wait for replacement. 5. Call Parts Select and ask them to stop sending the same, wrong part and try sending a refrigerator part instead. 6. Wait again (now 2+ weeks). 7. Call Parts Select and ask how difficult is it to match the part ordered with what is sent. Ask a 3rd time for the correct part. 8. Wonder if it’s worth it while again waiting to see what Parts Select decides to send this time.
Once I got a part that wasn't broken in transit (took them sending it 3 times for that to happen), it was a breeze. Remove old drawer, take tracks off old drawer and place on new drawer. Put new drawer in fridge.
No Problem This was a simple replacement of the water filter.
Lower the filter cover on the refrigerator, twist the old filter to remove it, install the new filter by pushing and twisting it, and close the filter door. Using a pitcher, run water through the new filter until the excess carbon leavings are out then the water is clear and is drinkable
bulbs were not burnt out. received the new switch in a few days. watch the short video, was good to see how it comes out. used a putty knife to release the defective switch, removed wires put them on the new one and posed the new switch back in. Not bad Part cost $11.00 7 dollars shipping so for 17 bucks it works great. nice to see what is inside the refer!
