Water not dispensing
4 of 4 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Alex from Tampa, FL
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver, Wrench (Adjustable)
Moved refrigerator forward, this allowed me to work on the back panel. Unplugged the refrigerator power cord. Released all 6 screws, removed panel then release an additional screw that was holding the water valve and the two (red & blue) connectors. Then installed the new part in reverse steps. Plug the unit and job well done. I had purch ase the water filter already after several minutes push for water from the dispensing front part of the refrigerator and good to go, later in the evening we notice the ice maker working fine and producing ice. Thank you parts select.

Difficulty in removing the old switch
5 of 8 people found this instruction helpful.
  • James from Federal Way, AL
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
The old switch was hard to remove. Thinking that I may have to loosen the wires I used a socket wrench to remove a clamp. This was unnecessary. In the end the switch did come out using a large size screwdriver. The problem was that the expanding plastic tongue is not visible from the ouside so you have to try to feel your way around. If i had ordered the replacement before and not afterwards I would have seen this before hand.

After replacing the light bulb and still no light I manually pushed the light switch button. Intermittently the light would come on then go out. I removed the power plug from the power source then replaced the light switch. I plugged the refrigerator back in and now I open the door the light comes on and stays on until the door is closed.

  • David from Longwood, FL

  • 15 - 30 mins

The problem was both the valve and a frozen slug of water in the supply line located inside the door. After replacing the valve, I turned the freezer to a setting of 1 and in about 30 hours, water flowed out the tap.

Water line was leaking
4 of 5 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Doug from MODESTO, CA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Wrench (Adjustable)
The internal water line was leaking. I could not find any repair parts for my refrigerator but the GE 5/16 water line was the same size. I purchased 6' of tubing and two unions. Make sure the clean and square. If possible, make the cuts in a spot where you can use the pliers and wrench to tighten the union. I cut approximately 2' out of t he existing line and replaced it with the same length of new line using the 2 unions, one on each end. Took about 5 minutes.

Defrost not working coil iced up
3 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • charles from SCOTTSDALE, AZ
  • Very Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver
Removed back wall cover over coil. Defrost all ice with a hair dryer. Cut white wires and replaced Temperature Sensor. It has been working for a week and no trouble at this time. If you have this system on your GE refrigerator do this before replacing the motherboard. I must admit I was thinking that was the trouble. Motherboard w as replaced after 5 years old now 5 years later my thinking is this a 5 year problem. So try the Temperature Sensor.
