carefully removed retainer from old valve

FOUND ONLY TWO MOST COMMON FAILURES, NO ICE OR WATER KEEPS RUNNING/FILLING FREZZER. MAY CASE NO ICE BUT WATER CONTOL VALVE WORKED. REMOVER THE 4 10 MM BOLTS ON FREEZER DOOR AXCESS TO THE THREE PHILLIPS SCREWS ON BOTTOM OF ICE MAKER DISCONECT WIRES, AND LIFT OFF HANGERS, REINSTALL ALL REMOVED PARTS. NOTE! DID SHUT OFF AND DISCONECTED POWER BEFORE REPAIR. WORKS FINE NOW.

first, there many different water filters. your experience will be different according to your water filter type.

Write down where tubing goes, wiring is color coded.

The u tube instructions were exactly what is needed. I had to cut off the old plastic pipes. My pipe had threaded connectors. Pex push on connection is super easy. You don't really need a block of wood to cut it if you have a sharp utility blade. If if you are sure this is the problem this is a really easy fix. Steps 1 turn off water at wall unplug electric also 2. Disc line at valve on refrigerator 3. Remove 2 screws holding valve 4. Pull valve out and remove plastic hoses and electric connections pay attention to color of pipe and electric connection. Mine were color coded. Had to cut off thread connectors. Reattach in reverse order or do one at a time. Check for leaks.

Undo a few bolts unplug power and unhook water lines then recut all lines and push in to new value

Removed screw on Mullion so that the replacement hinge can slide onto the small plastic bracket on the door. Slid the mullion on the hinges and screwed in muliion (1 screw).

The first order arrived in a huge box and there was no scew to be found, the box had wholes in it. I was given a refund and told to order again.



The repair did not happen and the set screw which was actually recieved the second time was returned because it was the wrong size.

I REMOVED THE OLD GASKET BEING VERY CAREFUL TO SEE EXACTLY HOW IT CAME OFF. I INSERTED THE LOCKING INSERT INTO THE TRACK IN THE DOOR WHICH DID NOT FIT AS THE OLD ONE DID. AFTER USING TREMENDOUS FORCE WITH MULTIPLE TOOLS I DID MANAGE TO GET THE TOP AND THE SIDES TO LOCK INTO PLACE AND EVENTUALLY HOLD. THE BOTTOM OF THE GASKET DID NOT HOLD SO I USED CLEAR CAULK AND TAPE TO HOLD THE GASKET IN UNTIL THE CAULK CURED. AFTER THE CAULK CURED THE GASKET HAS, SO FAR, REMAINED TIGHT.

Just follow the instruction that come with the valve. Easy.

We followed the online instructions and tah-dah it was working...

remove the old one and replace with the new one and yes it was that easy. All of the lines and wiring connectors were color coded

slid shelf out, slid new bin in.1 2 3

Just replaced and adjusted the amount of water that went in.

Watched the video and read some comments and from that it was easy
