PSE29NHTDCSS General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Your instructions were "spot on"! Pried out broken switch with screwdriver-reinstalled new switch. Very easy! Ordered on line on a Wednesday new part arrived on following Saturday-Great service and will definately use again. Highly recommend PartSelect!

Before replacing the top filter housing, ensure the inlet water valve is operational. Replacing is a straight forward process. Unhook the houses from the inlet water valve in the back of the refrigerator. Remove and replace the top filter housing and ensure you replace the sealant using plumbers putty or sealant dicor butyl putty.

Tube was too short so I used the union to attach additional tubing to reach the valve at the lower rear of refrigerator

Pulled new tubing to the tank and put a union about 8 inches down from tank to new tubing. Great repair. Parts not readily available locally.

1. Slide out refrigerator away from wall.
2. Unplug refrigerator electrical cord.
3. Slide out refrigerator further to be able to get in back of.
4.Turn off water control going to refrigerator.
5. Clear top shelf around water filter area, remove water filter.
6. Remove water filter cover housing lid by lifting off.
7. Using a ¼" nut driver, remove two screws attaching water filter housing.
8. Go to back side of refrigerator, & remove 2 screws from the silver cover plate of MWD manifold water line unit.
9.Using ¼" nut driver, remove lower cardboard cover that protects the motor & fan area.
10. Clean motor & fan area with old tooth brush gently, & vacuum dust off.
11.Using (2) ½" open end wrenches, loosen & remove both water lines.
12. Go to front inside of refrigerator. Gently pull out old water line manifold assembly, you may have to twist it some to get the protective sleeve out of the hole.
13.Insert new water line manifold assembly into the hole, when it gets to mostly in, gently work the protective sleeve through the hole.
14.Position the new manifold water filter housing into place & reinstall 2 screws. Do not over tighten.
15. Go to back side of refrigerator, gently push down on protective sleeve so you then can replace silver cover with 2 screws. Do not over tighten.
16. Remove old tape that was originally holding water line tubings.
17.Connect water lines to water supply lines, using (2) ½ " wrenches. Tight, but not over tight.
18. Re tape water lines to back of refrigerator, using a strong tape like duct tape in an orderly fashion.
19. Turn on water supply, check for leaks.
20.Re install black cardboard piece on lower end of refrigerator.
21. Plug in refrigerator.
22. Install water filter inside of refrigerator. Install cover over filter housing.

1. Removed the back panel of the fridge to get access to the inlet water valve.
2. Removed black poly water line from valve (pull back on white ring where line is attached and pull the line out)
3. Removed the inlet tube from top-back of fridge (where it goes into the ice make). use putty knife to get under the sticky white gasket beneath the black oval housing and pull the tube out form the back of the fridge.
4. Replace the water line with new part taking care to properly seat the line into the the bottom water valve and pushing the water tube into the hole for the ice maker.

Note: Be sure to take off the protective covering from the white - sticky grommet and push to adhere to metal on fridge.

to be safe - use a bit of clear silicone chaulking round the perimeter of the grommet and push to tighly bond the water inlet tube to the fridge.

The reason for this - is that if you do not get a good bond using the white - sticky gormmet alone - you may have the water tube inside the ice maker freeze up.

Also once the new water line is installed be sure to secure the line to the metal back of the fridge - so the line will not move. some fridges come with metal hose clamps to do this - otherwise use duct tape

I took the part out of the package and placed it in the recessed water dispenser/ice maker cavity. Done!

replaced with new connector and it worked great. also replaced the water filter and that was super easy!

Replacing the water filter with the new style water filter was no problem...twist to the left, drop the old filter, line up arrows on housing and new filter, twist to the right and done.

Ice maker was always crusing ice. There is a spring deflector wound around the actuating rod towards the back of the ice dispenser. Pulled the ice dispenser out, slid the damaged spring off, and slid the new spring deflector on making sure to engage the actuator rod to restore it's action. Easy fix.

I tried to quite the noisey evap motor with special liquid motor grease from Radio Shack. It did not work, so I ordered the evap motor. My freezer motor was wired slightly different than the motor I received. The replacement motor had a male plug attached to the four wires, the original motor was different, so I cut the wires and spliced them into the original freezer wires (colors were the same). Remounted motor. Works great, and no more groaning motor

It was a simple remove and replace. The new part fits directly in place of the old part. Its a pain to remove the light but once you get the light out the job is simple. The light must be pried out gently. It is snapped in place toward the air inlet cover and needs to be pried loose. Once the light is out there are 4 screws holding the air inlet cover in place. Remove the 4 screws and unfasten the wiring harness. Once the screws and wiring harness are disconnected remove the old part. Reinstall the new part in reverse order.

Really easy to install - they both snapped into place.

To take the ice dispenser apart is not difficult. A ring removal tool would have helped to remove the auger. The Auger nut was difficult to remove and I used a visegrip to pull it off. Once the retaining ring was removed the repair was easy.
Never did it before but figured it out.

Removed tension spring, removed old lever, installed spring on lever, inserted lever in hole, re-attached spring to hook under front of refrigerator.

All I had to do was slide it in. But that's not what made me so thrilled with your site. What won my devotion was your site's ease of use (I couldn't find what I was looking for on GE's site) and the promptness of delivery. I will certainly use you again and recommend your services to my friends!
