I purchased the part and put it in,

Initial problem was water not entering the icemaker. Replacing the valve assembly did not solve the problem. Further investigation revealed the inflow tube to he icemaker had frozen water in it. Cleaned the ice our and water flowed a bit but not enough to fill the tray. Still investigating the problem.

Unplug, turn off water supply, carefully remove lower back cardboard cover, unscrew old valve mount, lay towel down, disconnect the three water lines, modify provided “L” bracket by drilling a hole outboard of one of the slots to match/fit the wider original mount holes on the refrigerator’s bottom pan, screw top/short end of bracket to valve, cut back the two clear lines about 1/2” for a “fresh” end, connect all three lines, position valve and secure with original screws (access is tight, used small 1/4” wrench), turn on water/check for leaks, install back lower cardboard, plug in and verify function.

Watched instructional video, read all printed instructions and repair related posts
It's all there. Works great! Thank you!

Removed cover change mounting bracket on fan put it back in works great

Unplugged freezer, removed lower shelving, removed panel covering the evaporator motor. Unpluged three wires connected to fan assem and removed. Did not install new wiring that came with kit but installed new motor/fan and reconnected existing wiring. Problem gone!

Remove freezer shelves, panel, and change fan.

fridge is about 16 yrs old.....valve sedimented...it gets REGULAR condenser/underside cleanings....working perfectly...OEM valve, went on without modifications. PS...I am an HVAC technician, but it really isn't hard

I repaired exactly the way it was explained by Partselect on youtube video. Pulled the fridge from the wall, turn off cold water supply, unscrewed the valve from side of the fridge, as I disconnected the power lines one at the time I inserted it on the new one and I disconnected the water tubing one at the time I inserted on the new valve so I would not get confuse later then I inserted the filter tubing that goes from the valve to the filter, then replaced the filter with a new one once there and the job was done. Nothing to it, in the past I hired a technician and charged me $395.00 ; $65.00 for consultation, $95.00 to installed it and $235.00 for the water inlet valve. Is that a rip-off of what? This time it only cost me $35.00 for the valve did it myself with youtube-partselect video. It was so helpful. Do your homework and don't let nobody steal you blind.

Removed the old outlet valve and installed the new outlet valve in less than 15 minutes. Thank You Part Select!

Replacement of the valve was pretty simple, after replacing the valve , ice maker still not making ice, after running the ice maker tests , using the test point, noticed the valve was working but no water to ice maker, the saddle valve was clogged, replaced saddle valve, now have lots of ice cubes. Also installed a water filter.

Shut water off. Access rear area and removed water inlet line and leaving water and ice lines from old valve. Disconnected power wires from valve. Removed old valve and installed new valve. Reconnected all three water lines and checked for water leaks. Very easy

Replaced the intake water valve on the back side of the ref. The dual-valve water valve kit instructions were very good and the new replacement valve fixed the problem and the ice maker is working once again. The extra parts received were not needed as all the existing water lines connected without a problem to the new valve. It took a few hours for the Ref. and the ice maker to recycle and start to work properly. Pleasantly surprised that the parts were available for a 27 yr.old fridge.

I basically followed the step-by-step instructions at the parts order website. I removed the shelves and rear panels to access the fan. I noted the color coding on the wires and terminals, removed the two retainer screws, removed the old fan from the mounting bracket, installed the new fan using the rubber anti-vibration mounts, pressed-on the fan to the center drive shaft and re-installed the assembly to the back wall. I simply replaced the rear panels and shelves and plugged in the fridge. The only issue I had was the distance needed to press on the fan blade to preclude fan noise, which I found by trial and error, before re-installing the panels.

I replaced the dual solenoid valve and made sure the ice cube tube was clear of any ice. Sure enough, it works and the nice old neighbor lady is happy.
