ZISS42DCBSS General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Like others have described. Turn off water and unplug appliance. Remove back plate, remove bracket assembly, disconnect lines (push plastic rings in and pull on tubes) after marking with marker. Reconnect, lines, bracket assembly, panel. Water worked immediately, blowing air out momentarily until water flowed. Took a few times of manually filling ice tray before water started flowing enough to make ice.

Screwed new bulb in socket

removed the bulb from the package unscrewed the old bulb & screwed in the new bulb.

Remove the one screw holding the unit in place, unplug it, slide in the replacement, plug and screw it in.

I simply removed 6 screws that held bucket to face and pit on new bucket and put it back in freezer works great

Replaced dispenser door flapper by following the do it yourself video in this site. It was really easy. Just be careful when removing the dispenser black bezel. I broke one of the little tabs when taking it off.

1) Shut off water supply
2) Pull out Refrigerator
3) Unplug
4) Unscrew back panel
5) Remove main water supply line
6) Remove bracket
7) Cut supply hoses 1 at a time and insert in new assembly in correponding openings
8) Reverse steps and enjoy

Notes: Judging by the new part's look, I suspect this repair will be needed again in about the same amount of time (5 years). The incoming pressure (I live in NYC) is probably too much for the way the part is built. Fortunately, now I know where to look , what to order and where to get it (great service, partselect.com!) it's no more then a 15 minute job.

Followed the online video. Unplugged refrigerator, removed trim piece, lifted control board cover, removed 4 screws retaining circuit control board and removed the 3 connectors from the control board. Located flapper and removed by using small flat tip to take tension off flapper connectors. Helper held flash light to illuminate flapper connectors. Reversed procedure. New flapper seals well and cured problems. Circuit board was a bit different than one in video, but still had the 3 connectors. Marked each connector with grease pencil at top edge to ensure correct reconnection. Should note how wires are threaded around circuit board to ensure they are tucked back in correctly in reassembly. Remove trim piece carefully. I broke 2 of the 8 plastic pins that hold trim on. May be due to age of unit as they were brittle. 6 pins still hold trim piece flush.

Removed icemaker from freezer,
Removed 3 screws from cover plate, and removed screw securing main gear, removed gear.
Pulled back cover plate to expose switches and mechanism.
Removed screw holding switch to remove switch, and installed new switch.
I should have taken a pic of the cover plate, the interior mechanism and the wiring as I went along. It would have saved me 45 minutes in reassembly. Also, as luck would have it, I reversed the wiring on the switch. So off was on, and I had to remove it, switch wires and re-install.
But it works!

Use small putty knife to cut internal sealant on ice maker door trim piece. Then you can easily remove it.

Remove front cover did not remove wires remove ice and water unit took off flapper put new one on 5 minutes back together

Watched you tube video a few times,very helpful.A word of advice take a good,look at the part you are replacing before ordering,dont go by model #,I ordered according to the model and that part did not fit. You also need a 5/16 snap on union for one of the cracked lines,ordered it from GE worked fine.

Since I really needed to replace the deteriating auger I used the original ice bucket and transferred the new auger assembly into the old ice bucket. Looked complicated at first, but make it work and my refrigerator is now making nice clean ice. It would have taken a lot longer if I sent the new bigger ice bucket back and it was my fault. With the videos and pictures on line made the replacement of the auger & ice bucket easy. Thanks Bill

Turned off the water and unplugged the frig. Removed the assembly (the hard part as it was corrodided) by removing 4 screws and slipping the electrical connections off. The water lines slipped off easilyThe instructions were good and the part fit easily. Then reversed the process by connecting the electrical and water.
I ordered the part via internet on Wed. evening and received it on Friday. Excellant service!

Replaced flapper. Followed the video. The lamp caused the removable plastic bracket (which supports the control panel and the ice chute) to fuse with the plastic frame in the door. Eventually broke the fused plastic, removed the bracket, and filed the rough broken plastic before reassembly.
