LGUS2642LM2 Frigidaire Refrigerator - Instructions

Pulled the unit out from the wall and with a flat head screwdriver and a utility knife I replaced the valve assembly. It was no problem at all.

Replaced the Triple Water Valve

Removed ice tray, disassembled ice tray assembly and crusher housing making sure to note the spring location, spring etc, installed new plastic housing making sure to reinstall the spring properly and the fixed crusher blade into the notch cutout., reassembled ice tray.

Simply detached the old ice container by removing four screws and removing one screw holding the lever onto the bottom of the container. A bit of advice; make sure you note how the spring is attached to the lever before removing the screw. It took me a bit to determine how the spring activated the lever when I was reattaching it to the bottom of the container. Also, double check your order before you finalize it. I must have inadvertently hit the item twice so I received two of them. This resulted in me having to return one item and paying for extra shipping both ways. I received the part within two days of my order. It was a very fast turn-around. Also, when I realized that I received two parts and had to call to explain the situation, I found the person on the phone to be extremely helpful and courteous. She sent me information regarding how to return the product and didn't ridicule me once for my stupidity.

I ordered the part from PartSelect using the part number located on the valve itself. The part was delivered in less than 48 hours from the time I entered it. Replacing the valve was easy and went according to the online video instructions provided by PartSelect. The only thing extra was that I had to replace the brass compression fitting on the copper tubing connected to the inlet of the valve. The old one would not seal properly. The compression fitting was about $1.50 at Home Depot. This is my third purchase from PartSelect and I continue to be impressed by them.

I used pliers to get the remaining shelf support studs out, then the new ones just snapped right in place. Very easy repair!

Not knowing the history of the refrigerator/freezer and observing that the icemaker would cycle (ice ejector fingers would rotate when the off/on arm was toggled), I concluded that the water valve must have some hard water scale in it which was causing it to stick. I replaced the water valve and the exact same behavior continued. By elimination, I concluded that the microswitch in the icemaker must be sticking. I removed the icemaker, used a hair blow-dryer to heat/dry out the microswitches and then a little shot of WD-40 on the mechanical arms, switches, and cams fixed it.

Replaced bad parts with new parts it went easy

Told the person on the phone what my problem was and she told me the answer. Replace the control board ($137.00). Took her advice part arrived in 3 days. It took me (not a very good techy or mechanical person) 15 minutes to take out old board and put new one in. Works like a charm. Saved a service call and highly recommend Part Select. Bob

I removed the back cover and removed the clip holding the compressor- run capacitor and start relay. I replaced these 2 components and clean the dust from the frig., and from the bottom of the floor. I replaced the back cover ; Loss about $300 worth of meat when when the frig. failed. Then I thought that, during these turbulent times, there are many which don't have a refrigerator or any meat to place in it, The refrigerator is "running" normal again.

Shut off water supply at the main, drained water from lines, pushed filter in from end of filter then pulled out. Removed the 2 plastic protecting tubes from the inlet and outlet stems. Made sure filter was facing same way as the old one, pushed filter in making sure it was locked, turned water supply on slowly, ran about a gallon of water thru filter. If not done the taste is odd. 5 minute repair.

Turn off ice maker
Slide wire harness shield off connector
Disconnected harness
Loosened 2 wall screws
Remove old ice maker
Installed new one reversing process

I replaced the bulb using my hands to twist the bulb in the socket located at the top of the refrigerator.

It was as simple as removing two hex head screws to remove the old ice maker, then aligning the new ice maker (ensuring the downspout from the water supply was directed into the opening designated for it) and then screwing the two screws back into place. The most difficult part is the space that you have to work with. It was a little difficult and frustrating, but put in place, an hour later we had ice and it's worked great since!

Removed the old filter and took off the water caps and pushed it in place. Then I used a pitcher to clear the air from the line and we are good to go for 6 more months
