GSRS5KLZAFSS General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Followed the instructions in the operator's manual to remove the door. Popped off cover of top hinge. Unscrewed the two screws holding pin down with socket set. Took off door. Unscrewed broken door stop with TORX socket. Replaced new door stop and reversed the process to replace the door. Very simple repair.

Replaced filter assembly

Installing the part repaired the fridge and freezer immediately.

Turn-off water and disconnect main water line to inlet-tube.
Removed lower-back panel of the fridge with a screw driver and disconnected the hose with a small wrench to the main fridge water valve.

On th top-left, back of the fridge, removed screws to the small plate where the hoses enter for the water filter. In the fridge, removed the water filter, then removed the plastic panel above the filter - it snaps out. There are two screws to remove, then grasp and pull the assembly and hoses out. reverse the process for an easy install.

I was not able to put the small plate onthe back, top-left of the fridge back on. It's a tight fit and I didn't want to pinch the lines. Not doing that, though, may limit how your fridge rolls back to where it was, because the lines will stick-out a couple of inches.

I made my wife fix it.

replaced the water filter head and water lines which were fairly easy. Glad Partselect had was I was looking for and it arrived quickly.

I had to take off the back lower grate which was roughly six 1/4 screws. Disconnect the water lines to the ice maker and the filter manifold. Remove the manifold from the inside of the refrigerator by removing two 1/4” screws. Pull the manifold and line out from the inside of the refrigerator and reverse the process for the replacement.

Let me start by saying, I usually hire something like this out but figured I would give it a try. The install was fairly straight forward, however it would’ve been nice if the instructions would have been more useful. Instructing me to remove one screw to release the auger and solenoid enclosure wouldve been nice. There were 3 other screws that I didn’t need to remove and they were the ones holding the auger in place, which made assembling that much more difficult. Once to enclosure was removed, and the solenoid was exposed, it was a seemless process. I would however, recommend paying attention to or taking a picture of the connections on the solenoid. I was lucky to remember or got lucky. Regardless, I was able to complete the project successfully. If I had to do it again, I believe it can be done in 30 minutes or less.

I watched the video a couple of times and followed the instructions exactly and the repair was very simple. This repair took me a bit more time than I thought it would just because I followed the steps methodically.

But the video was perfect to guide me through the procedure to replace this part. One of the longest parts was removing the shelving and food storage bins, cleaning them, drying them and then putting them back in after the tank was installed.

Ordered new solenoid so the flap would close. That did the trick.

with a small screwdriver push in tabs in upword movement to remove the face cover for the three botons of ice crushed ice and water .
once removed remove four screw to take out the circular door .
solinoid plunger will be atached to the door and it has to screws holding the solinoid .
instolation is the oposit steps of removing the part

I used a mirror to locate the two small plastic tabs located on the underside of the ice dispenser light. I used a small flat blade screwdirver to push the plastic tabs forward to release the ice/water selector unit. I read about someone that did not see the tabs and ended up removing the inside of the freezer door, a two hour task! The ice and water control unit then slides out. remove the four rusty screws holding the dispensert and ice chute, the selenoid isthen easy to see.
Just replace the solenoid if your are having problems, I tried to lube it but to now avail. There is some rust in there so good time to clean up and put new screws in. Be care when removing the plastic lock tab on the circut board it breaks easely. If it does no big deal just make sure the connection is pushed in all the way. test your handy work before buttoning up. The solenoid comes with a new plunger so don't worry about cleaning the old one. The screws do not come with.

Very simple fix. Just remove the back cover, unscrew the water valve, unplug the water valve and disconnect the water line. Then reinstall the new one. Takes about 15 to 20 min and it worked like a champ

Replaced Double Outlet Water Valve then defrosted coiled plastic water tubing at bottom position inside refrigerator into pan of hot water for 10 minutes. Water still did not flow. Defrosted refrigerator and water dispenser immediately resumed operation. Suggestion -
defrost refrigerator first.

Cut old tubing in frig with wire cutters and pulled through the bottom wall and removed old tnak from the wall...Installed new tank and ran tubing down trough lower wall and connected to the valve and the freezer door.
