FGUN2642LP8 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

removal of the old valve to identify the problem took the most time. Once the new valve came it it was easy. NOTE: the old one had threaded connectors, and the new one is press/fit so the ends of the tubing need to be cut. The color coding and size matching are great.

take 1/4 hex screws out clean out dust ,remove old fan blade replace with new install bolts .

took existing water valve loose, removed plastic water lines and reinstalled on new valve and installed new valve into refrigerator

took the back off refridgerator, disconnected water valve assembly, then disconnected water lines and electrcal connectors. also i received the part in less than 24 hours

Removed lower cardboard cover, shut off water supply valve, unpluged frig. Used wrench to remove 3/8 water line from water valve, removed electrical connectors from solenoids, used fingers to unscrew water connections from valve.

I had a repair man do the work.
That's always best.There was one day delivery on the part and the price was great. Thanks

I had to tap the screw holes with a 8/32 tap so that the screws would not bind.

turned off water supply, removed cardboard back, removed supply line, unhooked all color coded connections,took out bad water valve and replaced with new one note: the new valve came with pex connections so i carefully cut off flared tubing ends with sharp razor knife making sure when i pushed tubing into new valve that i did so with some force until i HEARD and felt them snap in place very simple plus i received the new valve in 2 days very happy with PartsSelect.com you CAN do it

Turned off water supply disconnected hose from valve removed cardboard backing removed the screws holding valve ass'y disconnected the three wire connections disconnected five hoses then cut and installed in new valve per instructions provided reconnected three wires reinstalled valve ass'y turned water supply back on and checked for leaks by engageing filtered drinking water in the refrigerator door replaced backing to complete job.

remove back cardboard panel, cut off water supply, remove screws holding valve to back of refrigerator, unscrew water lines & reattach to same fittings on new valve, screw new valve in place, replace cardboard cover.

Installed new valve.There are several pieces of tubing coming off of the valve. Pay close attention to where they go. Color coordination is poor on the new valve.

1. Turn off water in line to refrigerator. 2. disconnect hose from refrigerator. 3. Remove back cardboard panel at bottom of refrigerator. 4 Remove 2 screws holding in the valve assembly at bottom right. 5. best way I found to remove hoses (all color coded) is to cut with razor knife at the white collar. cut clean and square. 6. disconnect electrical (also color coded) 7. connect hoses to valve assembly by pushing hose firmly into hole. If you are familiar with PEX then this is the same. Reconnect electrical. Reconnect to refrigerator... 3,2,1 your done. It will take a couple cycles to get the air out of the lines.

found the coil to be frozen like a block of ice. defrosted same, then looked up what defrost thermastat i needed and once it was received, i took the back of the freezer compartment off again, (two hex nuts, one on each end, and a small screwdriver to remove guard around fan. once this was removed, you then remove this panel, and you will see the evaperator coil, which will be frozen like a block of ice like i said. then remove defrost therm(small round piece with two wires connected to unit, disengage and re engage new thermostat. then put unit back!. no more freeze ups.also, therm was on top right of evaPERATOR. IT also snaps off on the bottom of thermastat. (just pull to or away from you and it should come off.

Realized Ice Maker was not getting water during it's cycle and suspected water valve based on other posts to this web site. My fridge is 9 years old and the tubes connecting the valve were plastic screw on type. The new valve did not have threads to accept the nuts. Turns out all I had to do was cut the nuts off and insert the water tubes into the valve which auto-locked the tubes to the valve. Ice maker now works great.

If this happens to you the first thing I would do is shut off the freezer and, using a hair dryer, melt the ice in the ice maker and heat up the water inlet to make sure it is not froze up. Turn the freezer back on and wait to see if that cures the problem. If not, order the new water inlet valve and follow the simple instructions in the video provided on the PartSelect website. I have never have a more pleasant experience with any parts/repair service than I did with PartSelect. After ordering that part it came within the time they stated and their help with the install was great. Also helpful were the other customers talking about their problems and solutions.Thanks to PartSelect I now have Ice and a happy wife. Happy wife--happy life.
