Ge WR62X23154 Kit Srv Solenoid Cube OEM Part

This was a two and half year issue as different things failed at different times. I would get one part, then another would fail. Ultimately, I got to a point where what failed, I hadn't been ordered the part yet. The seal on the freezer door took three bathing's before it plumped up and un-creased. The directions on the box it is shipped in said to heat the seal up in hot water then cool it down with tap water. I didn't need to do that. It took a lot of massaging of the seal, but eventually it fit. The repair would have been easier if I had a hair dryer to heat and massage the seal. I'm clean shaven (bald) and don't have a hair dryer in the home. The auger motor was one of the first things I tried to replace. Part of the problem was that the auger coupler (fork) was partially stripped, which messed up the reverse threads on the auger motor shaft. Installing the auger motor was a breeze; however I lost the pictures on my phone as to how to reconnect the electrical connections. The repair video on the subject helped with the correct wiring. The solenoid cub kit that fixes the crushed ice/ cubed ice setting wasn't so bad to install; however due to the pictures I lost on my phone, I was a little lost on how to reconnect it. Fortunately, the instructions that came in the box had pictures of several different models of the type and brand of ice maker I was trying to fix. The pictures were very small and taken from a top down angle (a slight angle and more light would have been helpful). By process of elimination, in looking at the still small photos, I was able to ascertain which line was connected on top or closest to me in the picture. I was very pleased with the customer service and repair videos available for this repair. If another appliance should fail in my home. I will always shop and buy parts from AppliancePartsPros.com first. By the way, about the light bulb. It had ice up and shorted out. I melted the ice and dried it off. Bam! I no longer have to look for chicken nuggets in the dark.

Change solenoid & arm assembly

I ordered the correct parts from AppliencePartsPros.com and with their tutorial repair video, I was able to remove and replace the broken piece and solenoid new parts. Now my dispenser does not only dispense crushed ice, but, with the fix, I can now dispense full cubes once again. Thanks for a great web site! Cheers

My GE side-by-side fridge was only making crushed ice, so I googled the problem and found the likely culprit was a failed solenoid. A little more searching and I found the part and video at AppliancePartsPros.com. The video alone was incentive for me to order the part there and then, it arrived a couple of days later, and the part was installed in about 30 minutes. The video really helped, and the only problem I had was removing the pin that holds the arm to the plastic. I initially though it was an Allen screw, so went back and watched the entire video and realized the pin had to be driven out with a small hammer and suitable driver. Tapping that pin out was a little fiddly, and it helps to have a means to stabilize the part, with a hole underneath to allow the pin to come out. Once that as sorted we were back in business and a successful fix, which was celebrated with a drink with uncrushed ice! Thanks AppliancePartsPros.com and kudos on the super-helpful video!

Solenoid needed replaced.
