TFX27ZPBAAA General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Firts I removed the food from the freezer. Then I used the cordless drill/screw driver to loosen the broken piece of plastic. I inserted the plastic shield and screwed the shield in place. The majority of time was spent removing and replacing the food from the shelf.

Finding the part was made so easy by this website. I wish I had done it years ago but because I am not handy, I didn't think I could do it. Reading how easily others did it convinced me to try.

1. Unplug the fridge
2. Removed the outer facing of the dispenser outside the freezer door. This is fairly easy, better with a tool (plastic scraper) that won't mar the finish.
3. Removed the plastic plate with labels -- water, ice, etc. This is done by sliding a small jewelers screwdriver into the slots on the left, middle and right in back of the plate. These are difficult to see without a flashlight.
4. Removed the four screws in the panel behind this plate.
5. Unpluged the large cable on the left side after the panel is freed.
5. Removed the rubber "dispenser" button. this just pulls off.
6. Remove the panel
7. Lift flapper up and remove. Clips hold this in.
8. Put new flapper in place.
9. Use reverse order to put back together.
Piece of cake. Ice maker no longer frosts up.!!!!

Transferred ice supply to another freezer. Removed ice maker unit from freezer and studied assembly. Removed the 5 screws holding the bucket in place while keeping track of which screw went where. The only positional component to remember was the motor control pivot retainer. Wiggled and fiddled to remove the old bucket. Wiggled and fiddled to put the new bucket in place. Replaced the 5 screws, dumped the reserved ice back into the bucket, and returned the ice maker unit to the freezer.

the ice bin was a cinch with the complete part ordered from Partselect.com. Just had to replace the old faceplate onto the new part put the ice bin back in the freezer and voila. Didn't really need to replace the thermostat but did anyway with the defrost timer and then the thing started keeping temperature again. Thanks a bunch! I just hope the refrig will hold up a few years longer!

Pulled the outter cover off, removed the electronic board, replaced the flapper and put it back together again.

Removed the ice from tray and removed screws from face of ice bucket. Reinstalled screws and face on new ice bucket. Inserted new ice bucket in position.
That's it all done.

Removed ice tray and set on kitchen counter .One small phillips scredriver to remove broken tab.
Attached replacement shield with screw, replaced ice tray. Probaly total of 5 to 10 minutes to find scredriver, do the repair & replace screwdriver where it belonged. Took more time to place order then do repair. Add a couple of minutes to unpack.and some more time to drop off cardboard box at recycle center.

took off the panel, took out 4 screwws, took out old flap, installed new flap, put screws back in , and put trim back on.

Super fast replacement, and the part was sent to us FAST and WELL-PACKAGED and REASONABLY PRICED! Thankyouverymuch!

Because of the way it broke I was not sure how it was attached until I read reply's from others who had the same problem. The instillation tip was greatly appreciated.

Followed the instructions and replaced the door recess.

The part that I needed was no longer availabe on other sites. Found Partselect and they had the solution, only took 4 screws to replace auger-bucket assy now ice dispenser works good as new!!

I neeeded an ice bucket for a refrigerator that was given to me. I wish if I could have oder the whole part as a whole.So, this is what I did. I order the Auger and Ice Bucket Assembly.Later, I realize when I received the part that I also needed the Cover bucket assembly and the Ice storage door.Now I do not know if when I get the rest of the parts if it also comes with the screws that hold the cover bucket on or if I have to order the screws separate.

I only installed a light shield. However, I injoyed using your web site. It was easy and much better than Repair Clinic web site. I'm a do it your self person and this is the site I will return to!

Removed ice dispenser trim from bottom-up and then removed control panel by gently pulling up from the bottom. Removed four screws holding dispenser chute and then two screws holing flapper assembly. Replaced gnarly old flapper with a new one and put all removed pieces back together.
