JFC2089HPR Jenn-Air Refrigerator - Instructions

Probably a result of hard water. Valve did not close down completely after ice making cycle. Video made job easy just make sure plastic hoses are in all the way. Problem solved.

Water was leaking from the water inlet valve.Valve distributes water to the ice maker and water dispenser.Removed the old valve by disconnecting the water lines and electrical fittings.Removed the panel from which it was mounted to.Only four or five screws held the panel on.Matched up the part with the photo and the part number.make sure you shut your water supply to the fridge prior to removing and also you can keep the fridge running while you are doing this and while waiting for the new water valve.Very easy repair with basic tools.Pex water lines can be removed and installed without tools.Just press the collar on the water fitting down and pull the water line out.when reinstalling lines into the new valve,push line all the way in and the pull out to set the collar.

I viewed the previous instructions people had posted to replace the water valve. I did not have to cut any hoses. The valve I replaced was like the new valve. I was able to pull the hoses out of the old valve by pushing down on the collar around the hoses. The hoses popped out with a little bit of a pull. Attaching the new hoses was very easy. The whole thing probably took about 20 min. This DIY job saved me hundreds of dollars.

Remove old part and replaced it.

the repair was very easy,used 1/4 inch nut driver removed the necessary screws from mounting plate and dual valve. removed all lines from old valve cut 1/4 inch from tip of lines and replaced into new valve. replaced electrical leeds and resecured plate and valve.

Went very well. I replaced the ice maker itself cause of the high failure rate but that did not fix it. Measured voltage across water solenoid and it was around 1 volt. Measured the voltage at the water solenoid for ice and it was 20 volts. This was measured when it was plugged in. So I replaced the valve took 15-20 minutes including moving the fridge out. Started making ice 8 minutes later.

Thanks to some reviews we found online about replacing gaskets, ours went very smoothly. One person said to soak the gasket in hot water, which we did til it was very soft. Installed like a breeze. Then, the same person said to tape the door closed after installation, we did that too. The gasket looks like it was professionally installed and we have never done it before. Thanks!

Looked at the appliance's booklet to see how it fit together, then installed it.

It went as your installation video showed but a lot more water came from the lines after I turned it off. Luckily and had a bucket and extra towels on hand prior to my installation.

Remove plastic hinge cover (phillips screwdriver). With door closed, remove ground wire (phillips screwdriver). Remove broken hinge (nut driver). Route wires through split in hinge body. Route wire through new hinge body. Install new hinge (nut driver). Install ground wire. Install plastic cover. Entire job took less than five minutes.

Pulled refrig out to gain access to back. Turned water supply valve off(water source). Removed water valve from lower left corner of refrig. Marked individual lines to valve. In this case, there were only 3 lines to remove. Removed 2 electrical connectors to water valve. Simply removed water lines and reattached to new valve. Re connect electrical connectors and mount new valve to refrig. Turn main water supply on and check. Water was now being supplied to icemaker. Complete time spent was 40 minutes. That included cleaning up behind refrig and testing to insure ice maker was now functioning. Very straight forward and easy repair. Saved myself anywhere from $75 to $125 by doing it myself.

Removed fill tube and replaced it with new.

Removed plate from back of fridge,removed water lines, removed valve from plate, put new valve on, reconnect hoses, reinstall plate.

This part was very easy to replace. Actual time to remove the tubing and wiring harness and then replace and reinstall tubing and wiring was probably less than 3 minutes. Just be sure to mark each tubing prior to removing so you can reinstall in the correct fitting. In my case, the most difficult and time consuming task was removing the refridgerator rear access panel because I had to do all this through the motorhome exterior access panel which is probably about 10" by 10". Replacing the actual valve was very simple. Quick shipping too to our campground.

The pivot block looked slightly worn because the hinge door mechanism on the left door would not "close" when the door was opened. I bought the pivot block, but the fix is adjusting the dual french doors so they are even i n height at the top of the unit. Pivot block is a 2 minute job with screwdriver. Adjusting the height is a 5 minute job with nut driver.
