BISB42ELE General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

put the gratefruit knife behind the old switch pooped it out pluged the new one in piece of cake 5min.even vacumed the dust off the coil

Pop out switch, pull wires, attach wires to new switch and pop back in. Easy smeasy!

with a jewelry screwdriver I pried the lock tab in and pulled switch down carefully, the hardest part was that the power wire connector was stuck on good but the pliers and the jewelry screwdriver was its match for a bout 5 minute for one connection a simple pull off prong connection. After the wire connected back to switch it popped back in SNAPP

Remove the top cover above the door by lifting it slightly and pulling forward. I used a mirror to make sure that there was nothing in the way of accessing the switch from above. I used a blade screwdriver to press against the switch retainer on the topside, while GENTLY prying from below with another blade screwdriver to get the switch dislodged. Once the retainer was past the opening, I wiggled the switch downward and then rotated it to the left when the rounded top right edge of the switch was visible. This allowed the wiring to the connector to pass thru the hole. I pushed the wiring from the top and pulled from below to get the connector below the opening for the switch. I then unplugged the switch, plugged in the new switch and reversed the removal process feeding the connector thru first then rotating the switch to the right to get the rounded edge of the switch thru the opening, then pressed the switch up into the opening until it snapped into place. Total time less than 10 minutes.

Part attaches to metal plate near crushing fingers which attaches to ice holding bin. Remove about 6 screws total on each side of plate. You must disassemble the auger & other parts so you can reassemble it in the proper order. Not many parts but i always take pics to cut down on time. New part is at the other end of the auger and acts as the holde of the auger shaft. Picture a crankshaft with a bearing on each end so the auger rotates between new part and the other end of auger shaft. That's it.

1. The fill tube assembly is located on the left side of the compressor compartment on top of the refrigerator toward the back of the unit.
2. Remove the front grill from the compressor section and turn off power to the refrigerator.
3. In the freezer section, remove the ice maker cover, ice holding/feed tray, and the ice maker assembly.
4. It was necessary to use a small hair dryer to unfreeze ice inside and around the fill tube so that the fill tube could be pulled down from the grommet.
5. The grommet, which is located on top of the freezer unit next to the compressor, having been in place for many years, was difficult to remove both because of the difficulty of reaching the grommet in the narrow space between the compressor housing and the outside body of the refrigerator and the grommet fitting so snugly into the mounting hole.
6. To remove the grommet, I carefully used a set of small plastic pry tools (available at an auto parts or hardware store) to slowly unseat the grommet from the refrigerator and then used a twisting motion while pulling up on the grommet to remove it from the housing.
7. Clean around the hole in the freezer housing carefully.
8. For my model refrigerator, the new grommet piece is slightly longer than the original piece, and while the original fill tube is plastic, the replacement fill tube is made from metal and is slightly longer than the original fill tube.
9. Due to the different sizes of the new parts, it was necessary to shorten the length of the new grommet so that it would seat properly into the hole in the compartment. I also had to reuse the old plastic fill tube so that the fill tube would properly fit inside the ice maker assembly. It is probably possible to trim the metal fill tube with an appropriate cutting tool if the old tube cannot be reused.
10. If you are going to trim the new unit, carefully measure the old grommet and trim the new grommet to match the size of the original, then insert the new grommet into the hole in the upper cabinet section. The fill tube can than be inserted into the grommet from inside the freezer compartment by sliding the fill tube into the hold inside the freezer compartment and seating it by feel into the grommet. However it is also apparently possible to fit the fill tube into the grommet first and then insert the fill tube and grommet from the top of the refrigerator where the hold inside the compressor space is located.
11. If replacing the poly tubing between the water valve assembly and the grommet (a good idea if the tubing is old), it is simpler to attach new poly tubing into the grommet before placing the grommet into the mounting hole. A small hose clamp can be used as well to secure the tubing in the grommet attachment point.
12. Mount the ice maker in the freezer compartment making sure the fill tube sits inside the plastic piece at the back of the ice maker that collects the water from the fill tube.
13. Replace the ice collection/feed component.
14. Replace the ice maker cover.
15. Turn on the unit and test the ice maker to ensure there are no leaks in the new parts.

We only needed the rear plastic cylindrical helix. After installing it, there was a squeal of metal on metal due to insufficient clearance between the rear moving blade and the Ice dispenser plate.

Refrigerator Ice Maker 7/16” (or ½” hole, stainless steel) washer just behind #334 Rear Moving dispenser Blade PS292310 to give clearance so it doesn’t hit #345 / PS292441 Ice Dispenser Plate.

This was my first time at doing this so it took longer than someone experienced. But, it worked!

Easy

It was way to ez to install only a couple of minutes that's it

removed the dispenser and disasembled it repaced plate and reasembled.

I had no idea how to get the parts easily so i search on web , saw parts select.com,i read main folio of the site.which seems to me very reasonable.just one call and they delivered the part.nicely advised me if i need technical support to fix it but i was too confident and i did it.

Emptied hopper
Removed screws to remove auger from existing
This was so easy I impressed my wife

took a little more effort than the video show to remove old module and replace new. Works fine now.

Husband removed the broken one and replaced it with the new one ordered from you - all he needed was a screwdriver. Works wonderfully.

Pulled the two wires out from the access hole in the lower part of the refrigerator. Put them in the spade connectors on the new switch, and pushed the switch into place.
