ZISS42NCASS General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

I first pulled the electrical plug. Then shut off the water supply, I unscrewed the screws holding the cardboard backing on the refrigerator, this exposed the water valve. The plug in water lines came out easily and inserted easily into the new valve. Turned the water on to check for leaks, none. I then plugged in the unit and after a few cycles I had ice. $53 dollars and some change and we are back in business. Thanks to you guys, it went smooth and the parts came quickly.

I ordered the replacement from you guys, got the new ice maker and the plug had an adapter, but it wouldnt fit in with everything. So I cut the plug off my old ice maker and put it on the new one and it works just fine.
thanks for everthing P.S. i got the ice maker from you for 109.00 and sears wanted 130.00 for it
good stuff good deal.

Removed old ice maker and control valve. Control valve is in the back of the refrigerator in the bottom corner. Unplug the refridge, turn off water supply valve, remove mounting screw and unplug the control valve from the wiring harness connection. Using a flat screw driver, remove the four water lines (this is the most difficult part). Go inside the freezer and remove the ice maker by loosening the two top screws and removing the bottom screw. Unplug the electrical connection by pulling straight out or use a flat screw driver to pry off. Installation of the new parts is the reverse of the removal. The new ice maker has a pig tail that is necessary to use. This pig tail is longer than the original but will loop up behind the unit and back down to the female plug. Full ice bucket in 48 hours.

Problem was not solved by replacing water valve.
Seems that if the water reservor temp in the fresh food section is too cool, it will form ice plugs in the line to the dispensor on the freezer door. Currently running both section on the 5 and 5 temperture settings.

Removed the Ice maker from the freezer because the light was not on. Disassembled ice maker, found printed circuit board had shorted across two posts because the board was black in that area. Bought new ice maker assembly, installed in less than five minutes, making Ice fine.

My husband took the old icemaker out before the new one came in. When the new one arrived, I installed it in less than 10 minutes.

It took longer to remove the ice bucket and frozen food than it did to replace the ice maker. Remove one screw with a 1/4" nut driver, slide outward and remove plug. transfer water tube to new unit. plug it in, slide into rear slots and install one screw. Replace ice bucket and frozen food, shut the door and hear ice falling in about 30 min. Easy job! Great product! THANKS MJS

I removed the cover off the back and removed the screw that holds the bracket to the water Valve.
Pulled the element out and cut the water lines and placed them in each soleniod and then removed the 4 wire harness and placed then on the new water valve and , turned on the water and checked for leaks. Put water valve bracket back in place and checked for leaks. Everything was working properly. Replaced the back cover. End of project.

Removed the drawer, took off the broken front, replaced with new part using same hardware and popped the drawer back in. Remember which is the bottom. The glass window is at the bottom. Was a simple job. Part was a perfect fit!

I pulled the unit out, removed the lower access panel in the back. The receiving unit of the water line (Water Valve Assembly), had water spraying out of it which appeared to be as fine as a stran of hair. Aside from the wire attachments and multiple hoses attached to it, it was really easy to remove the old one and install the new one. Although the replacement part cost approx. $92, I would suspect I saved at least $50-$100 for a service call, not to mention who knows, $50-$100 in labor as well. Words of advice: Never be afraid to take on a challenge!

Disconnect power cord and turn off water suppy - removed access cover - remove assy from unit - inverted valve assy and connected water lines in new assy - re-installed valve assy - re-powered and turned on water - monitor for leaks 10-15min
done deed...

Loosened 2 screws unplugged cable. Plugged in cable adapter on new unit. Plugged in to receptical, hung on 2 screws, tightened 2 screws. Done

Replaced hose that cracked from over heating with new hose and couplers. This refrigerator will over heat easily and has been a real pain because of it. Must keep it clean and vacuum dust by removing back cover.

Used the nutdriver to loosen two screws, life out ice maker, disconnect electric plug and put aside. Placed the new icemaker on the loosened screws, plugged in electric connector and tightened screws. Used small level to verify that unit was level.Waited about two hours for first cubes to be released into tray - has been working fine since!

Disconnect unit from electric outlet, remove the lower back panel, locate water valve at lower left corner, Mine had a noticeable leak from blue water valve assembly. Turn off water supply, remove water valve assembly from unit, remove push and pull water tubes and harnesses.

Basically a plug and play fix, everything is clearly identified and color coded, just make sure the 4 wiring harnesses are kept in original position as they are transferred to new part.

Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
