PTI22MFMALWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Rolled the fridge away from the wall, unplugged the unit from the wall outlet, and removed the back panel by taking out the 6 1/4" nuts that held it in place. Vacuumed the dirt and dust out, and sneezed viscously for 2 minutes. Removed the 3/16th nut holding the water relay. removed the inlet water line, and quickly replaced it. dried off, then went down stairs and turned off the saddle valve. mopped up the water, then removed the water inlet valve. Removed the 2 water lines to the unit (Ice and water feeds) and removed the 2 wire connectors. reversed the process in installation, except the drying myself off part, and sneezing from the dust and dirt.

Replaced dispenser flapper

Replacing the water valve was easy - the video was excellent. However, the problem was not solved - no water even after replacing the water valve. Anyone have any other thoughts?

It went exactly like the repair video showed. I removed the back cover, unhooked the water lines, unplugged the electric connections, and replaced the valve. That video made it super easy and it is now working like it should.

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

Turned the wire protector to the side. Turned out the old bulb and replaced it with the new. Turned the wire protector back in place and I'm like new.

with my hands

very simple repair.....push two hoses into compression fittings on the bottom, plug two wire harnesses into the back, and put a screw into the front to attach to the refridgerator frame. After that, just turn water back on and plug it in. Ran great.

Part also came in quicker than expected......which was a definate plus.

Unplugged fridge, and turned off water supply. Removed cover from back of fridge, followed the plastic tube down to water valve.
I unbolted the mount holding water valve in place, removed the input tubing on top by unscrewing nut. I made a note of which outbound plastic tubing went to water dispenser, and which one went to icemaker, and which side of the water valve they plugged into, and then cut the tubing very close to the old valve.
I slid the tubing into the new water valve, and I felt it lock into place, very easy. Attached the input water line and tightened the nut.
Reattached the water valve mount to the body of the fridge, replaced cover, turned water valve back on and checked for leaks (there were none).
Plugged in fridge, tested dispenser, everything worked just fine. No leaks.

1. Remove back cover from frig
2. Remove Double Outlet Water valve from frame
3. Place towel under valve, remove supply line to filter
4. Cut black and clear lines next to valve, ensure a smooth cut
5. Slide new connectors onto lines, press lines into valve firmly, make sure they slide in all the way
6. Slide connectors into valve locking into place
7. Re-connect filter supply line and re-connect valve to frame making sure lines are in the proper place
8. Replace back cover of frig, do not over tighten screws

Replaced Water Filter (twist off old filter; twist on new.)

Removed back panel. Cut the water lines and replaced the double outlet water valve. The only issue was the long period of time until the water flowed from the outlet. Be prepared to wait, it will take some time for the water to flow.

It was as simple as taking off back panel and disconnecting 3 tubes and and two plugs to remove old valve and attaching the new valve piece to the 3 tubes and two plugs! It actually took more time getting the panel off than making the repair AND it saved us a little over $300 as the repairman quoted a price in excess of $350 to repair it. He was actually the one to tell us to buy the part ourselves and repair it. We are thankful being able to get the part and for an honest repairman.

The same as the vidio, very easy. Thank you

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.
