GFSF6PKBABB General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Moved stuff out of my way on the top shelf, reached in and turned old filter to remove. Filled new filter with water, lined up and turned to lock in place. Whew, never thought I would get that job done. :-)

Unscrewed old cartridge, ordered new cartridge, installed new cartridge by following very simple instructions. Took only one day for part to arrive from PartSelect although I paid for cheapest shipping, which was "ground." I was amazed!

Took the old filter out and put the new one in.
Easy Breezy!!

I only had to remove the old filter and install the new one - all by hand. I then ran about 1 to 1and1/2 gallons of water through the filter to clear it.
A WORD OF CAUTION - HOLD YOUR GLASS CLOSE TO THE WATER DISPENSER FOR THE INITIAL FILLING - IT WILL SPIT UNTIL THE AIR IS PURGED FROM THE SYSTEM!!!
An extremely easy repair.

Take top two drawers out and install the flip up cover in it's spot , then use the screw driver and pry it flip cover, into the groove.

Replacement ice maker was plug in unit, only needed to remove one screw holding plastic plate that hid plug and wiring. Plugged it in and reattached plate with screw and done!

Water flow restrictions. Replaced flow valve. No help. Checked again and found filter head flow stopping valve broken. Replaced same. All good.

Hardest part of repair was getting frig. away from cabinets to unplug it.
Turn off water to ice maker.
Phillips's screwdriver to take off the cover of the electrical connection to
the icemaker tip it outward. I used flat head screwdriver to help disconnect the connection.
Also, to help getting the old icemaker removed. Once removed returned New one the reverse of taking it out. Won't need screwdriver to get it back in place. Put cover back in place and put the Phillips screw back in place. Plug refrig. back in. put it back in place turn the water back on should be good to go! BE afew hrs. before ice starts to show up!
Good Luck

First, remove screw from underneath side of the control. Next, again the underneath side of the control, on the right side, is an opening. Insert a small screwdriver. The idea is to move a tab to facilitate removing the control panel. You will have to push on the tab (releasing a clip) while pulling on the control panel. Once removed, unplug the cable, discard the old panel, connect the new panel, and put the new panel back in place. Secure with the screw you removed.

Turned the old filter loose, removed the adapter from it, put the adapter on the new filter and turned the new filter back into place.

We didn't think the dispenser problem was related to the filter - we were wrong! It took less than two minutes, including opening the box and unwrapping the filter. I'll definitely be changing my filter more often - and buying it through PartSelect. Your ordering was so easy and delivery was unbelievably fast!

got new filter

Just turn the cartilage out and put the new one. Very simple

Remove the front of the freezer door according to the instructions in the manual. This will require an open end or socket style wrench for the four bolts, two on each side. Use a flat blade screwdriver to push in the plastic tab at the rear end of each drawer rail. Pull on the rail to slide it out. Install the new rail marked L on the left side and the one marked R on the right side. Push them in where the old ones were located until they are locked into place by the tab on each side. Verify they are secure before re-installing the drawer front.

I watched the video, and noticed that they did not even turn off the water. The replacement took less than 30 seconds once the filter was filled with water.
