Brad for Model Number GE monogram ice machine 197D7177P003

Ordered pump Make WPL Part # W10217918 on your invoice, from technical data sheet replacement part "pump" WR57X10028, I have your replacement part in my hand, an exact match. I do not know how to remove and reinstall the water lines. Do I cut the lines and reinstall by simply pushing in past the metal grab fitting? I cannot pull out water lines from defective pump. I can email or text a picture of the lines into the fittings..thanks, Brad

Answer

Hi Brad. The replacement valve part # W10881366. It uses (like all newer water valve types) push in clips to grab and release the water lines. You should be able to push in the fitting end as then it will release the water lines. Then make sure (if you have to cut the lines) that the lines are cut exactly square for proper reinsertion into the new valve. This should aide in your replacement. Thank You.
