BCS42ELE General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

After hunting around I found that the inlet water valve was leaking. I turned off the water and ordered a new part from Part Select. It came and I put it in. I had to disconnected the three water lines (one in, two out) and the electrical connections. Keep track of what came from where. I plugged everything back into the new valve. Piece of cake.

Shut the water off to it. Carefully moved the refrigerator away from the wall to avoid damage to the copper piped water. Removed the cardboard cover at the bottom and rear. Layed a towel down to catch water. unscrewed the copper water line from the leaky double valve unit. Removed the old double valve unit by unscrewing the single support screw. Installed the new unit in reverse order without following the directions that suggested using the old support structure. Took the opportunity to vacuum the cooling coils while back there, but broke an impeller on the cooling fan which is requiring further maintenance. Be careful!

After turning of and unplugging the refrigerator, it consisted of removing the screws on the back panel. The old part had three fitting with compression nuts. I was surprised to find the new part only had onecompression nut on the water supply and the other two lines were "slip" fittings. I was a little concerned about using the existing tubing, but had no leaks. I checked to make sure the water dispenser was working before I pushed the unit back and good that I did because I had inadverently switched electrical connections. Overall, this was still an easy job.

replaced it with a new updated water valve. It was a bit different however the basics were the same-had great instructions with the valve-box is 21 years old so was a little worried about finding the part--thanks to the internet I found your great ad and info was easy to pull up-schematic sure helped. Now enjoying my Jack Daniels with perfect ice. Thanks a million. Bob Valdepena

removed two screws holding water valve in place; pull out valve and remove water supply line; remove two water lines going into box; connect lines to new valve and reinstall

Removed the hoses and the old valve; numbered the electrical and hose connections on the old wires and valve with a marker to make connection easier;

Had to cut the hose fittings, since the new valve was a simple hose insertion and the old had screw-on fittings.

Installed the new valve. The ice maker works fine. However, the dispenser does not work; apparently there is no signal from the switches to the devices. But at least I have ice.

replace entire inlet valve (block)

remove old valve, water lines and electrical wires and replace water lines, duel water valve and wires

Un-plugged the refrigerator, removed the existing water valve and pressure fittings; replaced the old tubing and reconnected the faston connectors using the two adaptors provided.

Took about 30 minutes.

Works fine although the sound of filling the ice-tray is a bit lauder that the previous valve.

Repair was really easy, bought the part because of partselect video. Saved myself a lot of money vs calling a repairman.

turned water off removed old water valve moved wires to new one moved water supply and discharges to new one reinstalled new valve

I used the how to video from the site and had the part replaced in about the same time the video did it, even with being distracted with a phone call.

Replaced Valve - really easy repair -- longest part was getting fiber cover plate off and on back of refrigerator

Easy easy easy. Pulled the refrigerator out. Took off the old valve, cleaned around the connection, installed the new one, connected the tubing, turned on the water, connected the electrical connections, plugged it back in, checked for leaks, and walla...got water...Thanks for the help and great service. I even received the valve shipped standard delievery via Fed ex couldn't afford the overnight, and received the part next day... GREAT!!It took me 15 minutes to complete.
