PNR22LSEBFES General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

It was very simple. Pull the fridge back (unplug and turn off water), remove the cardboard backing and disconnect/unhook the current water valve and reverse the process to connect the new.

Followed instructions others posted. No need to cut any water lines, just push the white collar on the new valve, pull out line and do the same to install lines. Only issue was inlet line leaked after initial installation. It was leaking above the connection, so teflon tape wasn't the answer. Answer was to hold the line in exactly the routing place it was before removing.
It took a few days for ice machine to return to normal (as in making ice in quantity), but works like a champ now.

Just put on, part was great. Will buy parts again from this company.

Unscrew the mounting screw and cut the tubes as close as you can to the valve. You cannot reuse the valve as the self sealing lock washers will be destroyed once you take out the tubes. Push the newly cut tubes into the new self sealing new valves and remount. Easy Peasy!

I turned the water off at wall. Then I removed 6 nuts removing the back cover. Removed one nut to remove the outlet water valve. Disconnected two bottom hoses and put them on the new unit. Removed top hose and installed on new unit.
When I removed the top hose water did spill out.
I had to rush to connect it to the new unit .

Removed back lower panel, removed valve, ordered part on internet, cleaned motor and back of fridge. Most time spent was waiting for delivery of ordered part. Part received and installed in 15 minutes after reviewing instructional video included in my email verifying my order, fridge pushed back into place, waited for ice maker to refill.....DONE. So easy. Thanks guys. Job well done.

turn water off to ice maker,unplugged refrigerator, took back panel off took old part off and put new part on

Unplugged fridge, shut off water supply. Removed bottom back panel of the fridge and carefully vacuumed up all the dust. Located the water valve to the left of the compressor. It is attached to the side of the fridge by a metal bracket. Remove the screw from bracket and lift up on the whole assembly. Now I removed the electrical connectors and pushed in on the quick release tabs to pull out water lines. When installing water lines to new valve be sure to push them all the way in. The water lines are marked so you will know how far they must go in. Attached electrical connectors and remounted whole assembly back to the side of the refrigerator. Turned on water supply and plugged fridge back in. Checked water dispenser for proper operation and also checked water valve for leaks. Reattached the back cover to the fridge and that was it.

1)turn off water supply to appliance 2)disconnect appliance from power supply. 3)remove grill. 4)remove valve retaining fastener. 5)disconnect two wiring devices. 6) depress retaining devise at each water line to disconnect. note: if the lines do not releace, use utility knife to cut lines as close to unit as possible. 7)attach new valve in reverse order.

Shut off water supply and unplugges refrigerator. Took of bottom panel on back of refrigerator. Discontected power plug and water lines from old water valve, removed water valve. Put in new water valve and reconnected water lines and power plug. Plugged refrigerator back in, turned on water supply and checked for leaks. Put cover back on. (It's also a good opportunity to clean out the dust and dirt under the fridge and around the motor and condensor)

I shut the water supply and took off the rear panel.
One screw released the valve. Pulled off water lines(3) and electrical connectors and installed all on new valve. Screwed the valve and the panel back and turned on the water supply. Prior instructions on website helped. Part came in two days. This part should have never failed. Looks like the housing is two parts glued together. Glue failed after 7 years. G.E. should cover this. My warranty expired after 5 years. M.K. Boca Raton,Fl.

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
