GDS18SCRRS General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed old ice maker, then screwed in new ice maker. Only thing that was a little difficult was to hold the auger motor, while trying to unplug the clipped in plug on the old ice maker. I could have used an extra pair of hands.

I just followed the directions carefully, loosened the screws with a nutdriver removed the unit from the screws, unplugged the unit from the freezer plug, took out the new unit, used the adapter supplied with the unit to match up with the plug in the freezer, carefully attached the icemaking unit to the screws, carefully slid the cord behind the unit, lightly clinched down the screws, checked it with a level and then did the final snug down. turned the unit on and it worked fine. Pretty easy, just take your time, don't rush and it will come out fine.

Water was leaking on the floor from under the fridge and I noticed that the cubes were very small and the ice maker was taking much too long to make ice. After pulling the fridge out from the wall, I removed the bottom back plate (about 7 screws) and checked the ice maker refill tube that goes from the inlet valve at the bottom of the fridge (left side) into the ice maker at the top right side of the fridge. The 1/4" tube had split 2 " from the inlet valve where it makes a sharp "U" turn on its' way up to the ice maker. I turned off the ice maker by raising the handle on the ice maker and turning off the 1/2" supply tube from the house supply pipe. I then tried splicing the tube by cutting it at the split and installing a 1/4" barbed splice on the two ends, but could not get a water tight connection. I then decided to order a new refill tube from Parts Select. The part arrived in 1 day (FANTASTIC SERVICE) and I installed it in about 10 minutes with no problem. (GE was out of stock on this part.) To begin, I disconnected the old tube at the water inlet valve (just push in the quick connect and then pull out) and proceeded to disconnect the other end at the top of the fridge where the ice maker is located. The molded end is adhered to the back with a sticky adhesive and must be scraped off with a putty knife before it can be pulled out. Once this is done, the new refill tube goes in the exact same way. One caution- just be sure to test and adjust the length of the white supply tube (I had to lengthen it by 1 ") before peeling the protective paper off the adhesive. It must be long enough to reach the white plastic cup that fills the ice maker. The inlet valve end of the 1/4" tube at the bottom just pushed into the quick connect connection. I then turned the ice maker back on inside the fridge by lowering the handle and also turned the house supply valve back on. I waited for the ice maker to call for water and then checked for leaks. NO LEAKS- job done!

Followed the instructions. Smooth as silk. This part is better than the original. There appears to be a sensor that beeps when the ice reservoir is full.

I spent 15 - 20 minutes just hunting/deciding which of several sets of parts & directions to follow. The provided directions were not bad; but none of them quite matched my GE ADORA side-by-side model. Once I came up with the actions I would need to take...I was done in 5 minutes! The kit , as I said, came with all the parts one could need (and one or two un-needed parts included for other model GE refrigerators) I am very happy with PART SELECT...altough GE doesn't rate as high with me for their declining reliability.

I order the parts and went from there. Actually a very nice friend of mine did the labor. It took longer to defrost it in order to get things running again. I was without my refrigerator for 4 months had I known the parts would be so reasonable instead of what a repair man wanted to charge I would have done it sooner. thanks

Super easy, had my 15 year old do it (with my supervision).
Followed very clear Instructions that come with the replacement...
But, he could not get to the plug location until he removed 4 screws holding the motor assembly that spins the ice in the drawer and moved it out of the way...
Followed the rest of the instructions...
Works like a charm.

repalaced the old one with the new one. easy

Instructions that came with the part were useless. I would have created new problems if I had attempted to follow the instructions. However, once I had the old part removed and put it beside the new part, required repair process was obvious, easy and quick. Frig now makes ice better than it ever did.

Reviewed video which was very helpful. Loosened two philips head screws, lifted up ice maker, unpluged power suppy and reinstalled. One of the easiest replacements ever!!

Piece of cake and now I get loads of ice.

I read the step by step instructions that came with the part. I turned two screws and disconnected the electrical harness and Removed the icemaker. Two other parts from the old icemaker were easily removed without any tools and put on the new icemaker. The new icemaker was put in the same way the old one came out. I reconnected the electrical harness and tightened the old screws. The hardest part of the whole job was reading the directions. They were easy to follow if you take the time to Just read them!

unscrew one screw unplug.insert the ice maker,put the screw back in you have ice less than ten minutes

Removed the faulty ice maker in about two min.. New unit was installed in approx. five min. Watched your video prior to installation and it helped greatly.

The video on the GE site was great. Showed step by step instructions on how to remove the old ice maker and install the new one. Also helpful was the detail on the water chute which needed to be moved from the old ice make to the new one. Saved hundreds of dollars by not having to have a repairman do this work for me.
