I went on Google to get GE Tech Manual. But really, undid screws for back plate; Dismounted (1 screw) Water Solenoid assembly; disconnected 3 water hoses into solenoid; unplug two power connectors. Then reversed the process with new Water Solenoid...works great!

Removed food from Freezer, Unplugged refrigerator. Removed light bulb cover and ligt bulb. Unplugged and removed Ice maker and motor. Removed air duct cover from motor. Unplugged and removed evaporator housing and fan. Pulled fan blade off. Unscrewed brackets from fan motor, removed dust cap from top of motor and grommet from bottom. New motor came with 6 pin connector and four pins for evaporator fan motor. Cut the harness grommet to separate the light bulb wiring from the evaporator motor's. Pushed the the old light bulb pins (red and orange) from old connector and push them in to the new fan motor connector. Reversed the process and no more noise

Removed back lower panel, removed valve, ordered part on internet, cleaned motor and back of fridge. Most time spent was waiting for delivery of ordered part. Part received and installed in 15 minutes after reviewing instructional video included in my email verifying my order, fridge pushed back into place, waited for ice maker to refill.....DONE. So easy. Thanks guys. Job well done.

Followed the instructions from your site and they were perfect. Unfortunatly that wasn't the problem. It still doesn't work.

per the video - took off panel, remove the existing part, and replaced.

Since the mechanisms were in the freezer icemaker area, we deduced it was the fan motor. Ordered that from your store and it was delivered to our door in two days. Great service.

The part was replaced and our refrigerator has been quiet for the first time since we moved in almost four years ago and the refrigerator was new.

I watched the video instruction and it was very easy to replace. took me less than 30 minutes.

It was very simple. Pull the fridge back (unplug and turn off water), remove the cardboard backing and disconnect/unhook the current water valve and reverse the process to connect the new.

Followed instructions others posted. No need to cut any water lines, just push the white collar on the new valve, pull out line and do the same to install lines. Only issue was inlet line leaked after initial installation. It was leaking above the connection, so teflon tape wasn't the answer. Answer was to hold the line in exactly the routing place it was before removing.
It took a few days for ice machine to return to normal (as in making ice in quantity), but works like a champ now.

Unplugged fridge, shut off water supply. Removed bottom back panel of the fridge and carefully vacuumed up all the dust. Located the water valve to the left of the compressor. It is attached to the side of the fridge by a metal bracket. Remove the screw from bracket and lift up on the whole assembly. Now I removed the electrical connectors and pushed in on the quick release tabs to pull out water lines. When installing water lines to new valve be sure to push them all the way in. The water lines are marked so you will know how far they must go in. Attached electrical connectors and remounted whole assembly back to the side of the refrigerator. Turned on water supply and plugged fridge back in. Checked water dispenser for proper operation and also checked water valve for leaks. Reattached the back cover to the fridge and that was it.

1)turn off water supply to appliance 2)disconnect appliance from power supply. 3)remove grill. 4)remove valve retaining fastener. 5)disconnect two wiring devices. 6) depress retaining devise at each water line to disconnect. note: if the lines do not releace, use utility knife to cut lines as close to unit as possible. 7)attach new valve in reverse order.

turn water off to ice maker,unplugged refrigerator, took back panel off took old part off and put new part on

Just put on, part was great. Will buy parts again from this company.

Shut off water supply and unplugges refrigerator. Took of bottom panel on back of refrigerator. Discontected power plug and water lines from old water valve, removed water valve. Put in new water valve and reconnected water lines and power plug. Plugged refrigerator back in, turned on water supply and checked for leaks. Put cover back on. (It's also a good opportunity to clean out the dust and dirt under the fridge and around the motor and condensor)
