EI28BS80KS8A Electrolux Refrigerator - Instructions

Straight forward repair. Remove the four screws holding cardboard back. Remove the 2 screws holding the valve. Unscrew the water lines and unplug the electrical connections. I would caution that it would be wise to either take a couple photos or write down the order of connection. Even though it is somewhat color coded and the water lines are different sizes, a photo removes any confusion. My old valve had threaded connections using brass nuts and ferrules. The new valve has push in connections so you need to cut the ferrules off.. When cutting off the tubing, be sure to cut square. An angled or "squished" cut will leak when pushed into the fitting. Attach the valve to the refrigerator with 2 screws and replace the cardboard back and you're finished. While you have the back off is a good time to clean the coils. I left my fridge out and back off for a couple of ice making cycles so I could check for leaks (how I know the tubing needs to be cut very square). All in all, a very easy fix.

very easy, make sure to watch the provided you tube video.

slide old filter out and insert new one

The part i recieved, from parts select was a larger in circumfrence (<1/4) than the original. However i was not aware of this until after i treid to repair it.

I removed the broken fan from the condenser. This was very sipmle.

When i pluged the refridgerator back in to the outlet the fan tried to start up but soon began to make aloud noise, due to there not being enough clerance.

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

Removed 1 screw and unplugged flipper mullion assembly and removed it. Plugged in new flipper and one screw and done. Works as it should.

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.

Write down where tubing goes, wiring is color coded.

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.

I put the new unit up to the old one to see exactly how it goes, took the 2 screws holding the unt off...Took the 3 water lines off with adjustable wrench, put back exactly the same way and it worked with no leaks

The part was easy to install and solved the problem! We had ice within hours. Thanks PartSelect!

carefully removed retainer from old valve

Following previous installation instructions was very useful. Would add that the nut driver needs to be 1/4 in and to release the water lines from the valve body, simply squeeze the blue ring toward the valve and pull on the water lines at the same time. Simple fix!

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

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