Larry December 15, 2011 for Model Number GE TFH27PRSBBB Door dispenser unit Solenoid that opens the flapper door to let ice out is stuck on the ON position. Concerned about overheating and fire. I have unscrewed the "res/des" from the door but it seems that all of the parts are enclosed within the plastic unit which was plastic to plastic sealed. A. is a wiring diagram available that might indicate where I can disable the electrical connection to the door dispensing part (it has a sliding switch for a light, another sliding switch for selection of water/crushed-ice/whole-ice [this latter quit long ago] and a pressure switch to start unit when glass is in place. B. Does appliance parts pro have a replacement unit that contains all of the parts in a single assembly? (??Recess/disp Part Number: AP2063799 Made by GE??) Item 32 on their web site. So I have the two questions: a. how to disable the solenoid to avoid an overheating/fire problem b. how to order the fully assembled replacement unit lre
1 Answer Hello Larry. Unsnap and remove the front cover WR38X1838 off the dispenser. Then you can access the screws for the dispenser assembly. Remove the screws to access and replace the solenoid assembly WR62X107. Make sure the power is off before doing the repair to the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Brad October 27, 2011 for Model Number TFX 25JRYD WW Would you please tell me the easiest way to install the AP2063799 water dispenser part. Thanks you Brad
1 Answer Hi Brad. Remove power (breaker). Remove top hinge cover. Disconnect the molex wire connector, it supplies voltage to the fountain controls. Remove the glass spill catcher. Unclasp the fountain keypad. Remove the fountain board. Remove the shield which houses the chute flapper and the actuator pad. Keep undressing front to back taking note of any elect. connections. Then finally you can unbolt the dispenser recess assy. Part # WR17X10190 from the front. You need to buy another chute heater assy and apply as instructions supplied.Part # WR51X353. Reverse reassembly. Thank You. Read More...
Leslie September 03, 2011 for Model Number TPX24BPBAWW When we bought our house this fridge came with it. However it had been turned off with the doors closed for about 6 weeks and there was a lot of mold growth. We cleaned the icemaker inside the freezer pretty well but p/n AP2063799 still has a lot of mold up in there that we can't reach. How can I get access to this? Do I take off the top frame of freezer, slide the freezer door panel off, then remove the trim plate to get at it? I'm also wondering if there are other parts I can't see that may have had mold growth. I just wonder when I dispense water if I'm getting water that has passed over mold or not. Are there any other parts I should try to clean or just replace?
1 Answer Leslie, You may have to loosen or remove the trim strips around the door, if you have decorator panels. if no panels are present, you can unplug the power cord first, then 1. Use a screwdriver to unlock the tabs at the bottom of the control panel. Slide the bottom out and down. 2. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors. 3. Remove 4 Phillips screws in the door dispenser housing. 4. Slide out the housing and disconnect the target switch and dispenser light connectors. 5. Spread out the locking tabs and remove the switch.( you should label all the wires and connectors at this point,it'll be a lot easier to re assemble the dispenser). 6. Push the chute duct door locking tabs back and raise the assembly above the locking tabs. 7. Push the lower armature locking tabs (under the assembly) back and lift up the entire assembly. You can then wash out all the mold you're describing and reverse the procedure and plug the power cord back in and test the dispenser for operation. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
