David G Bristow , VA January 10, 2015 Appliance: Model GSS52WGMB Ice maker and water dispenser only worked intermittenly My refrigerator is 13 years old and has always been a pain. The shelf above the ice maker broke last year which caused the ice maker to keep making ice even when the bin was full (the shelf keeps the ice contained which causes the ice buildup to shut off the ice maker). My water dispenser would occasionally refuse to dispense water. It appeared to me that the issue was caused by the nozzle freezing. The trap door for the ice was not closing properly so freezing air was always blowing out. The open trap door for the ice was allowing frost to build up in the ice shoot. After finding this site I realized the broken parts were likely easy to get to. Using the DIY videos, I removed the necessary parts to make a good diagnoses of the issues. The solenoid that opens the ice door was heavily corroded and didn't appear to be working. The rubber trap door was old, hardened, and didn't appear to be sealing well. All of my parts arrived on Wednesday (they were ordered on Sunday), and I fixed my fridge in about 5 minutes. Having already pulled all of the parts out once, the actual repair was a piece of cake. My only regret is not having found this site sooner and ordering the parts.....I have been yelling at my refrigerator for way too long!

Elizabeth T Dacula , GA January 31, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator GSH25JSTASS My ice machine wouldn't make or dispense ice I watched the videos on appliance parts pros and decided to try to fix my ice machine on my own. I'm a 50 year old housewife and gave it a try. I ordered a new ice maker and ice auger motor. The repair was super easy!! So glad I did it! Thank you appliance parts pros!!

Ryan M Cary , NC October 18, 2020 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator GSH25JSXBSS No ice being made but water did flow. Replaced ice maker kit within 15 minutes; next morning the bin was full of ice again! Didn't need to move fridge or unplug it. Didn't need the extra parts that came with the kit either (I have plastic shelving, not metal, as some seem to have.) Careful when disconnecting the old ice maker; the metal tube on the bottom side is very hot! Read More...
