So there's a plastic water tank in our fridge, its purpose is to chill water so it's nice and cold when you dispense it from the freezer door tap.

Symptom was water running out of bottom of fridge. Found water pooled up under bottom drawer. Removed (3) drawers and found water was "spraying" from the reservoir tank at back of fridge. Unboxed the new "tank" and confirmed it was the right one by holding it up to the one still in the fridge. Pulled fridge from the wall; removed the
... Read morerear bottom cover panel on the back using the nutdriver. Removed the solenoid assy by taking that single hex screw out. Push down on the blue circular flange where tube supply enters solenoid, and release the tubing from the solenoid. Remove front bottom cover with phillips screwdriver. Located 2nd tubing connector below freezer (under the unit) and used the same procedure to release that tube from the coupling. Removed screws from tank on inside of fridge, after removing several shelves that were in front of it. Pulled the tubing from the old unit up and out. Discard. Got new unit and fed tubes through the hole the others came out of (back right corner of fridge) MAKE SURE THE NEW TUBES HAVE THEIR "stoppers" IN PLACE. You don't want to contaminate the new tubes with insulation or other debris. Make sure the "o" ring that seals the tubes on the inside of the fridge (supplied with new unit)and the styrofoam insulation stays in place to keep air from leaking through the holes the tubes go through. Installation of the (2) tubes is simple, simply push them into the connector on the solenoid, and the coupler under the freezer. You'll need to feed the longer tube from the back to the front left corner where this coupler is. After making the connection, I bolted the solenoid unit back to the fridge (only 1 screw) and then tested the unit to see there were no leaks before I buttoned everything up. NO LEAKS!! Put the front bottom grill back on with the (2) phillips screws, and the back bottom cover back on with the hex screws removed near the beginning. Probably took longer to write this than it did to make the repair.

This was a great opportunity to clean the bottom 3 shelves.

I dropped the temp. in the freezer from 9 to 3 and after about 2 days the water worked just fine. I emptied the ice because it was clumped into one big piece. I heard the ice maker going to town all day long. I called for ice later and the motor that dispenses the ice was humming and no ice was dropping. I thought about it and could not come up with the answer so I called tech. at GE and he was no help. So I solved one problem and now I have another that I don't have an answer to. My last attempt is to remove the motor housing to see if gears are jammed or something else.

ordered replacement part with the understanding that tubing to the water valve could be easily removed.

The water dispenser was not working, but when I pressed the lever I could hear it attempt to disperse water. But when looking inside I could see that when I pressed the lever it was spewing water from the tank. I was not certain why it was not dispersing water, but I knew I had to replace the leaking tank. I found several YouTube video
... Read mores that described in detail how to replace the tank (and I highly recommend doing that). The removal and replacement was very straight-forward and that part took only about 30 minutes. But the time-consuming part was cleaning behind the refrigerator and cleaning the inside as well (since I already had most of the shelves out). Then once I got it all back together I tested the water dispenser and still nothing. So I disconnected the line coming out of the tank going up into the door and then tried again. This time water was coming out of the line. So at that point I was fairly confident that the problem was a frozen line somewhere in the door. After leaving it unplugged for a while and also heating the door with a hair dryer, I connected the line again and got water dispensed.

Vernon - For model number PSC23MGMAWW

Water tank keeps freezing. Prevention???????
Hi Vernon,
Thank you for your inquiry. For certain refrigerators, the drawers inside refrigerator have their own temperature settings. Food inside the refrigerator will absorb the cold air. If the bins are set to the highest cold setting and they have no food or very little food inside them then the water tank will freeze. You should only use the highest cold setting if the bins are full. In general as well, if there is very little food in the refrigerator cold air will sink and stay at the bottom of the refrigerator and this will cause the water tank to freeze. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Joe - For model number GE ZFSB23DNDSS

I installed the water tank assembly, would never have tried without the video, great job. How long does it take for the frig to distribute water after installing? Also i have a slight drip from the control unit in the back where to water lines connect. I don’t see this part, can you provide replacement? Thanks again, videos are just great!!
Hello Joe, thank you for your question, and feedback about completing the tank repair! The water should be distributed within a few minutes. Allow for a bit of time for the water to get back through the system. The part the water lines connect to at the back of the fridge is called the water valve. If there is a little water leaking from there it should be replaced. That part number is PartSelect Number: PS304374 and we have an installation video on that part as well! Good luck!

Mike - For model number GSS25WGTACC

Hi! I have an odd problem. I can't get water out of the dispenser in the door but the ice maker makes ice. I disconnected the tubing from the water solenoid and water flows fine through the solenoid. As far as I can tell, the tank and tubing are the only things between the solenoid and the water dispenser.Is it possible that they are blocked?If so, should I just replace the whole tank assembly? Thanks
Hi Mike, Thank you for the question. In most cases if the dispenser is not dispensing it is the Micro Switch. The switch can be tested for continuity with a Multi Meter. It is also good to have the filter replaced ever 6 months. Only way to know if the water tubes are blocked is to remove them and run water through them. Hope this helps!

Bill - For model number GE TFX20JRBBWH
May 3, 2019
The water dispenser tank on my GE refrigerator (model tfx20jrbbwh) has a crack and is leaking. The water dispenser tank for this model (part # wr17x3105) is apparently not available. Can i just eliminate the tank by running tubing from the inlet water valve to the water dispenser supply line or use a coupler to connect the in to out tubing to bypass the tank? If this would work, what size and kind of tubing do i need? Thanks for your help.
Hello Bill, thank you for your question. Yes, you can eliminate that tank by adding tubing and couplers. the water tubing connected to the water tank WR17X3105 is a 5/16" waterline. I hope this helps!

Longer hose from tank is leaking. Depending on where its leaking can it be bypassed w/blue connector? So I'd be cutting out cracked piece and putting ends in connector. Do you have part number for blue connector? Also do you charge for shipping?
Hello Connie, Thank you for the question. Very sorry but I am not showing a Blue Connector but, If the line is cut straight, you should be able to use a Union, PartSelect Number PS758446. Hope this helps!
My fridge is 10 years old,and stop getting water and ice, any idea what it might be.
Hello Rene, Thank you for the question. This sounds like an issue with the Dual Inlet Water Valve, PartSelect Number PS304374. if the ice maker and dispenser are not getting water, the valve may be defective. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

What is the part number and can you sell me theplastic cover and foam that covers the water tank?
Hi Charles,
Thank you for your inquiry. We do provide the insulation tank foam. The part number for it is PS964273. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you and have a great day!
The water has a plastic smell and taste. Refrigerator is 15 years old and the water just now taste awful. The ice is just fine. Any ideas what might be wrong. I don’t use a filter since the water is filtered thru a reverse osmosis unit. Filters in the reverse osmosis unit have been checked and verified in good working order.
Hi Glen, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking and flushing the waterlines. They can have a build up over time and if they have never been replaced or flushed in 15 years this maybe the issue. Hope this helps!

Water leaks slowly from the dispenser at front door. Does this mean i have to replace the water tank? Or can it be something else?
Hello John, Thank you for the question. If the leak is constant you may have a defective valve, PartSelect Number: PS304374. If the valve is stuck open it will allow water through to the dispenser and cause the leak. Hope this helps!
