Removed items from freezer, removed 2 nuts from ice maker and set ice maker aside. Pulled old fill tube from back (no tools). replaced with new fill tube.

Icemaker fill tube and funnel icing up; no icecubes
The old fill valve was leaking water at a very low rate, sort of like a dripping faucet. Water was then freezing up in the fill tube and funnel areas, eventually causing the fill tube to push out of the grommet and allowing it to leak into the freezer's rear coil compartment. This resulted in a large icicle forming on the left side of the
... Read more coils and defrost thermostat.
In addition to low icecube production, I also began to see excessively warm defrost cycles, due to the defrost thermostat being iced over. (Telltale signs--1.Ice cubes melted/frozen into a massive block in the bottom of the ice bucket, 2.Soggy frozen food boxes and soft icecream, 3.Water accumulating under the crisper drawers in the refrigerator.)
I ended up replacing the fill valve, which is about a 10min job, and also had to remove the icemaker and interior rear cover from the freezer compartment to de-ice the coils. This was a NECESSARY step as the freezer is not able to defrost and clear this amount of ice on its own. I used a small hair dryer, being careful not to get it wet. If you tap on the ice to break it up, don't use anything sharp. Just let it thaw--
My circa-1992 Kenmore fridge (363.9711780) does not show up at Sears Parts Direct anymore, but it's a GE unit, and in my case the parts were all listed in the owner's manual using GE "WR" part numbers.
This repair was done on a 13 year old fridge. Within the last several years I had to replace the Incoming Water Line twice, the line from the Inlet Water Valve to the Dispenser Water Reservoir, and this time the Icemaker Water line. These were all due to the plastic tubing hardening and becoming brittle from the heat of the compressor.
... Read more /> For this repair, I not only replaced the cracked Icemaker Line, I replaced the Incoming Water Line with copper, and replaced the Dispenser Water Reservoir. If you have a leak in one of the plastic water lines around the Valve Assembly, I recommend you do the same.
The Icemaker Water Line instructions from Stephen from Raleigh was very helful and complete.
I found Scot from Fort Collin's instructions on replacing the Reservoir very helpful too. Although I found his comment that one line was too short, to not be the case. In fact I had to trim both lines because they were too long.
Scott from South Lake Tahoe's suggestion to use the old Reservoir Lines to fish the new ones is good. I used duct tape to attach them together instead of drip irrigation fittings, and it worked fine. It helps to have somebody at the back of the fridge to pull the line while you push it from inside the fridge.
The line to the door connection can be accessed by removing the grill at the bottom of the front of the fridge.
Pretty easy repair. Thanks to the other contributors for the help!

Ice Maker quit making ice
First I shut off water supply and drained line. Then I unplugged power to refrigerator. I then removed the back lower cover from the refrigerator and removed the water supply line from the water valve. I then removed the water valve from the unit then removed the wiring harness from the assembly. Then I cut the plastic lines from the old
... Read more valve assembly and inserted them in the new valve assembly, one at a time to avoid crossing lines. I reinstalled valve assembly and rear cover on the refrigerator. After turning on the water and plugging in power it took a bit for the air to work itself out of the icemaker supply line.
It was very simple. From turning off the water and draining the line to unscrewing the controller, disconnecting the line and etc. Putting everything back together was easy as well. Most of my time was spent cleaning below the frig and back.
The only thing I wish I purchased a new hose clamp.
The icemaker was leaking water into the freezer, causing the freezer to be covered inside with ice.
The actual repair was a snap. However, be sure you check to make sure all of the parts are there. The two electrical adapter/connectors were missing from the water valve package, so I could not complete the job until a new valve could be shipped. The two adapters are essential to proper operation of the water valve. New ones arrived in 3

DISASSEMBLY:
1. Unplug the refrigerator. 2. Shut off the water supply to the icemaker. 3. Remove the screws holding the cardboard cover onto the lower back side of the refrigerator, using a nut driver. 4. Disconnect the water supply line from the top of the water valve. 5. Remove the screw holding the water valve bracket onto the back of the refrigerator. 6. Unscrew the two water feed tubes from the water valve (one goes to the icemaker and one to the cold water dispenser). 7. Pull the two electrical connectors straight out of the back of the water valve. They are color-coded, but it won't hurt to label them with a small piece of masking tape.
NOTE:
Since I wanted this to be fixed and to not have to deal with it for years to come, I also replaced the plastic tubing running up the back of the refrigerator, the grommet that goes through the back of the refrigerator into the freezer compartment, and the water tube the pours water into the icemaker's tray - and it was well worth the few extra dollars and 10 extra minutes of work. To do this part:
1. Inside the freezer section, loosen the two screws holding the icemaker to the back of the freezer (you do not need to remove the screws, but it won't hurt anything if you do remove them). 2. Slide the icemaker upward until it clears the two screws enough that you can set the icemaker out of the way. 3. Grasp the 1/2-inch plastic tube that points toward the front of the freezer and pull it toward you until it comes out. 4. At the back of the refrigerator, pull out the plastic grommet that held the tube you just removed, near the top of the refrigerator. 5. Remove the thin water tube that runs from the water valve up the back of the refrigerator to the grommet.
ASSEMBLY:
1. Basically, reverse the order of disassembly.
CONCLUSION:
It took longer to type the instructions than it would have taken to do the job. If only the elctrical connectors had been there the first time.
Icemaker waterline leaking inside by the grommet where the water line comes in the refrigerator . First removed the water line from grommet . Then removed grommet by hand from the fridge. Last, reversed prodedure.

Ice maker not producing ice, instead water filling in ice trays and overflowing out of refrigerator and unto kitchen floor. Not sure what part or parts are need to fix this. (my thoughts: There a sensor that is not working that lets the refrigerator know that the ice trays are full, so water continues to overflow)
For model number GE Model PDS22SCPARSS
Hello, thank you for your inquiry! It sounds like you may need to check your water valve (PS304375) to ensure that it is not releasing too much water into your ice maker. If it is putting through the correct pressure of water, then you would likely need to replace the ice maker as the sensor is part of it. We are showing that your ice maker is an add-on, which comes with many different pieces - PS10054643. Hope this helps!

Water drip inside the freezer directly below the water inlet that creates a big icicle on the bottom of the freezer. Ice cubes are made correctly. Just have the leak problem somewhere.
Hi David,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like your water inlet valve may be leaking. I would suggest checking that part first. Your valve has two solenoids on it. One for your water dispenser and one for the ice maker. It sounds like the solenoid for the ice maker might be jammed open. Which would be causing a leak. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Icemaker fill water line does not reach to the fill cup. Water is leaking into the ice bucket, causing a big clump of ice to form in the back. I have replaced the icemaker, and that is when i realized what the problem is. Is there an extension i can get? I only need a very small amount of tubing to reach the fill cup. Wondering if a piece fell off.
For model number ZISB42ODMC
Hello Eva, thank you for writing. You may want the Fill Tube & Grommet, part number PS652419 for your model. You may also want to consider replacing the Water Line itself, part number PS292409. I hope this helps and good luck with your repair!

Water dispenser tube is clogged at freezer door.
For model number Gsl251grbbs
Hello Shahin, thank you for your question. The water line that goes from the dispenser down the door and out the bottom is part number Grommet / Tube Assembly WR17X11168. The tube is then connected to the water line that comes from under the fridge, with this connector Union Connector - 5/16" to 5/16" WR02X11330. I hope this helps!

The water connection attached to the top part of the back of the refrigerator suddenly came off and splashed water over the wall. Luckily I was around when this happen so no major water damage was done. After calling GE support, I connected it back and taped it, but the leaking continued. Until I figure out what is the problem, I closed the water line and turned off the ice maker. Can you let me know what is going on and which part is more likely causing the leaking? Thanks, Rosi
