JFC2089HPR Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

I did not do the repair yet, there is no schematic on how to route the hose; also no description of how to do the routing/connections.

Unplugged and disconnected the water supply.Disconnected the water line coming from the filter and cut about 1/8 inch off to square it off.
Unscrewed panel to expose inlet valve. With a marker I noted where the lines need to go back to. Disconnected the other two lines and made fresh straight cuts with a utility knife. Disconnected both plugs from the old inlet. The yellow one was difficult to get off, so I carefuly used a screw driver. Be careful, you don't want to break the plug. Reinstalled the new inlet. make sure that you push all of the lines in the valve so that they are completely seated. Make electrical connections. Secure valve to the panel. The water line from the filter should be the last line that you connect. Put screws back in the panel.
Plug in and turn on water supply. Fill up a gallon container from water dispenser. Check for leaks. Let the ice machine fill up. Check for leaks. Place back panel back on and secure. GOOD LUCK!

Checked Video online. Had to remove the 2 snap on track/gear covers. Pry out the gear with screwdriver and the gear bearing unit. Align the flat side of the bearing unit and snap in. Position the cut teeth on the gear to match original and snap into the bearing. Insert the connecting rod into the long shaft gear and then push back into the short shaft gear. The video said to remove the drawer front but I did not and don't see that it necessary.

Very simple repair. The hardest part was getting the Refrigerator out of its cubby hole. Once that was done and all the lint vacuumed up the repair was as the video instructed. Saved several hundred dollars by doing the repair myself.

I found the instructions on line which seemed very simple but I soon learned otherwise. The instructions say to remove the water line and then firmly pull the fill tube out as it is a tight fit. I couldn't get the tube out and ended up removing the lower freezer door/tray, the upper tray and the icemaker where I found the water had frozen solid in the end of the tube. I used a hair dryer to melt the ice then I could easily remove the tube. After several attempts to install the new tube I finally inserted a 3/8" OD flex tube thru the passage then I was able to slide the new fill tube over this and get it in place. I then reinstalled the icemaker, upper tray and the door/tray assembly. Turned the water on the check for leaks then plugged the unit back in and all is working well.

removed the panel in the lower left hand corner (rear of refridgerator) there were 4 screws holding it in place after removing the cover (the valve is mounted to the backside of the cover removed the screw that attaches the valve to the cover unhook the water lines and unplug the electrical connectors and reattach the new valve to the cover hook the water lines to the new valve and reinstall the electrical conectors (they push on and you cant mix them up) reinstall the cover and your back in business

I replaced the part and everything worked great however after 3 days the water in the door quit working, ice machine working great.

Removed rear access removed valve mount turned off water supply Unplugged out of the wall plug removed the two electric plugs removed the three water lines installed the new valve in reverse order, check for water leaks worked perfect

remove rear plate on refrigerator and remove two screws holding unit to plate. Cut the supply tube and the tube to ice maker and water spout. insert the existing tubes back into new unit and replace back on plate and then plate to refrigerator. That SIMPLE

Cleaned all lines running to water control valve and ice maker. Replaced water control valve still no water to Ice Maker. Replaced Ice Maker as tec. support suggested. Still no water to Ice Maker talked again to tec. support they didn't know what to do? After I spent 200.00 dollars in parts and shipping. NOW I still have get a repairman out fix the problem. The program is helpful but I don't see why you don't have someone to talk to about the problem that knows what they are talking about. It may be a defective waters inlet valve that you sent. The Ice maker does work if it had water. I ran a test with the jumper wire as suggested.

Self-explanatory, except that water pipes are removed from the valve body by pushing each fitting in towards the valve body, and simultaneously pulling on the pipe. 2 of the pipes came out easily, the 3rd was harder to get a good grip on. I ended up sawing through the plastic valve body to free the pipe and fitting, and improve my access angle. Installation of the new valve was a snap - I attached the valve to its support plate with a screw first.

Take out the elbow fill tube and check to see if ice build up inside tube. Clean tube of ice build up. Replace tube back in. In my case that corrected my problem.

After a visit to your site, reading the different posts I was able to narrow my problem down to the dual water valve. The replacement part fit prefect. After I got the old part out I was able to blow air past the valve showing the valve did not shop water after filling the ice tray. When the supply of water didn't stop it froze up in the tube filling the ice ray.

I could have tested the old valve before I ordered the part by switching the output sides of the valve and water would have leaked to the drinking water supply inside the door to confirm what my problem was but I'm very happy with the repair and the company Thanks

The replacement of this dual water valve was extremely simple and required very basic tools. Total cost of repair was the valve cost only.
