SPRING DEFLECTOR INT.

Replacing the water filter with the new style water filter was no problem...twist to the left, drop the old filter, line up arrows on housing and new filter, twist to the right and done.

Ice maker was always crusing ice. There is a spring deflector wound around the actuating rod towards the back of the ice dispenser. Pulled the ice dispenser out, slid the damaged spring off, and slid the new spring deflector on making sure to engage the actuator rod to restore it's action. Easy fix.

Excellent video on youtube showing how to replace the auger-Refrigerator and IceMaker Repair - Replacing the Auger Assembly (GE Part# WR17X11705).Very detailed video showing every aspect of this repair. There are many other videos showing this exact repair!!

Both GE manufacturer's part number for ice maker (WR30X10093) and the equivalent part number (PS1993870) were cross referenced to the Profile Side by Side Stainless Steel Refrigerator. (PSSS3RGXDSS) to be compatible. When the parts came there were two parts that were not the same as those on my old ice maker. The directions told me to remove the slider from my old ice maker, then remove the same part from the new ice maker. Then you were to install the old part into the new ice maker!! This happened with another parts as well. Why do you pay to buy something new only to use the old parts for assembly!! The directions were very unclear and the diagram very poorly labeled. The next problem was getting the new ice maker into the freezer. Almost impossible, I finally did it but it resulted in putting dents into the freezer wall. Also,when taking out the old ice maker it was almost impossible to disconnect the wire as well as to remove two parts. I had to use pliers to yank them out. Lucky no major damage. It's so annoying, they show these procedures to be so easy on YouTube videos.They must have everything prepared in advance to make it looks so easy on the video.
