Samuel E Yarmouth , ME March 12, 2018 Faulty valves dry cracked water tubing mold in water reservoir I purchased a replacement water valve assembly and a replacement water reservoir from AppliancePartsPros and researched some online videos to learn how to replace both these items, including all new water tubing. In the online process, I utilized "how-to" videos from AppliancePartsPros, too. Installing the water reservoir proved the most tricky, mostly because it was tricky feeding the tubing under the refrigerator. By comparison, installing the valve assembly and running new tubing for it was actually pretty easy. From start to finish, including clean-up, the whole process took me about 2 hours. And I was the classic first-timer, never-done-this-before do-it-yourselfer. I don't know what a repair call would have cost, by probably saved myself $100 - $200 by doing it myself. Woo hoo!

Walter T Alexandria , VA July 11, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator TFX26PPDAWW Water was leaking from the back of the refrigerator and the water dispenser stopped working I replaced the water valve and bracket assembly with a new one. I followed the steps shown in the video that was on the ordering page for the new part. It was extremely difficult to get the electrical wires off of the connectors and I had to shave down the white, plastic housing near the water intake to match the old one. Otherwise it was a quick repair. Read More... 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers, Wrench Set
