E23BC68JPSFA Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

slide old filter out and insert new one

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

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.

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

carefully removed retainer from old valve

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

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

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.

Removed screw on Mullion so that the replacement hinge can slide onto the small plastic bracket on the door. Slid the mullion on the hinges and screwed in muliion (1 screw).

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

remove the old one and replace with the new one and yes it was that easy. All of the lines and wiring connectors were color coded

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

I REMOVED THE OLD GASKET BEING VERY CAREFUL TO SEE EXACTLY HOW IT CAME OFF. I INSERTED THE LOCKING INSERT INTO THE TRACK IN THE DOOR WHICH DID NOT FIT AS THE OLD ONE DID. AFTER USING TREMENDOUS FORCE WITH MULTIPLE TOOLS I DID MANAGE TO GET THE TOP AND THE SIDES TO LOCK INTO PLACE AND EVENTUALLY HOLD. THE BOTTOM OF THE GASKET DID NOT HOLD SO I USED CLEAR CAULK AND TAPE TO HOLD THE GASKET IN UNTIL THE CAULK CURED. AFTER THE CAULK CURED THE GASKET HAS, SO FAR, REMAINED TIGHT.
