PSR26RSWASS General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

got new augerz & bucket asy/ remove old bucket put in new on ice coming out like new refrig

I got the model # off the fridge, ordered the part online. The part was fairly cheap and was at my house 2 days after I ordered it. It was the exact part and I installed it in about 15 minutes and everyting worked out fine and easy and cheap, under $15 total to fix the issue. All I needed to do was use a flathead screwdriver to "pop" out the old switch, remove the 2 wires off the wire connection points, put the wires on the new switch and push it back into place. easy. Great place to get exact parts and fast shipping.

I had some trouble removing the broken switch because a lot of the frame was missing due to the damage from the dropped can. I tried a screwdriver first and then switched to a small putty knife, which someone else had suggested.
Once the switch was loose and wires were accessible, I also had some trouble disconnecting them but they finally turned loose. After that the new switch was easily connected and popped back into the opening.
Definitely take photos as you disconnect!

Take off all , then install.. following the version..

Replaced freezer door gasket and fresh food door gasket. fresh food door gasket is works OK. BUT cannot stop new freezer door gasket from leaking cold air . Looked at three or four you tube videos for instructions and seemed to work well. I took off the freezer gasket and turned it over (end for end) and it still has a cold air leak. help

Watched repair video for replacement of water value. Be sure to consider water valve if Ice Maker is freezing up before replacing Ice Maker.

Followed the Video on this web sight. Did as it said and all went really well.

New parts just snapped in place. Perfect fit.

Took out the ice bucket and replaced with a new unit. I wish I had done that in the first place. We had already replaced the auger blade housing and that plastic boot at the back. It wasn't that easy, and it didn't work right since then. Should have just replaced the entire thing.

I removed the cover on the back of the freezer side of refrigerator to expose the anti freeze element use the hair blow dryer to melt the ice on the coils put 2 towels to colect the water thats wath take me time, to replace the heath element was a 1 minute job.

Slipped the damaged assembly out and replaced it with a new assembly. No tools required. Shipping time excellent. Also, easy read parts list.

Changing out solenoid was very easy, but you don't have to remove trim ring and it didn't fix my problem. Turns out a relay fell out of its holder in the piece you have after removing the 4 screws per the video.

Took it apart into and diagnosed the proble. Decided to slide in a brand new assembled replacement. Works like a charm and no headaches trying to put it back together! Don't drive yourself crazy trying to fix it! Opened the freezer door. Slid it in!

The overload protector was the problem. It plugs into the side of the compressor and the run capacitor plugs into it.

If you pull the overload protector and it rattles when you shake it, that's probably your diagnosis.

The replacement is different from the original and the wire connectors are different. Hold the thing in the same orientation as if it were plugged in. The vertical connector goes to the neutral wire, which on my fridge is orange. The horizontal connector is for the overload, which for mine is black and white. If you have a schematic you should verify the wires yourself.

Anyway, the refrigerator now works like new.

Took out ice bucket and put in the new one. Very easy.
