Drain pump only
This drain pump is only the small part (the pump itself) that is part of the larger drain pump basket. Had to return.

pump making noise
The pump was making noise, so I decided to replace both pumps. I had to remove the water bucket to get to the pumps which are easy to change out once there. It is easy to see what you have to remove to get to it. I used the mirror and rachet, extensions, 1/4 socket to remove screws. Tips - Remove the plastic door-inner to help working
... Read moreinside the bin. Also plug the drain because you will drop screws. Magnet sockets don't work on stainless steel. Later I found it is much easier to work inside the bin by pulling the entire unit out (shut off water and power, remove lower panel and disconnect drain tube). It sounds hard, but actually is easy. REMOVE THE TOP (4 screws). it stays connected because of wiring, but it allows full access and makes all kinds of repairs easy, especially pump replacement and even the circuit board behind the front panel buttons if you ever get to that point.
The pumps weren't the problem. The water bucket was only parially filling causing the pump to make noise. The problem was the WATER INLET VALVE. It is super easy to replace. Just remove the lower panel, and the valve is right there. Shut off power and water. To disconnect the hoses you PULL on the little fittings attached to the valve and then pull out the hoses. Took me 15 minutes.
BTW Partselect is awesome, I have used a number of times for ice maker and dishwasher. My next project is the washing machine! Always the right part shipped very quickly.
One of the circulation pumps was going bad and making a loud noise.
I replaced the two pumps, since both were the same design...figuring if one went bad then the other would soon go bad...and then I also replace the water level sensor. All had quick connect plugs. The time is just taking apart the various pieces, cleaning, installing the new pumps and sensor, then reassembling.

How in the world do you unplug this pump. I want to see if I can take it off before I buy a new one. Cannot get plug unhooked.
For model number gl15ndxtbo
Hello Gary, thank you for your inquiry. We have found some relevant instructions for you to remove the plug. They may not be of the exact same model, but will help you with the process. You may follow the following steps: unthread the screws securing the access cover to the control panel. Use a putty knife to help pry the cover free. Disconnect the ice bin thermistor wire connector along with the cutting grid wire connector. Next, unthread the two mounting screws securing the grid to the bracket and liner. With the screws on threaded, you can slide out the grid. Unthread the drain cap to drain any water that may be in the reservoir tray. Detach the reservoir fill tube from the circulation pump cover, then pull the cover forward to remove. Disconnect the drain pump wire connector and use needle-nose pliers to help detach the connector from the pump housing. Next, remove the screw to release the reservoir assembly. Now use a t20 Torx bit to unthread the screw to release the drain pump retainer. Now rotate the old drain pump. To fully remove, pull out the old impeller and rotor from the housing. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
