Trying July 28, 2013 for Model Number TPX24BRYEBB Correction on my prior question. It's tube (facing rear or fridge) that goes into right side of water inlet valve that has cracked. Tube then goes down and to left and under fridge. Also, I think the cracked tube goes to water tank, but when I pull on or jiggle tubes that leave water tank, cracked tube in rear doesn't move! help! Is there a diagram of water tubing, etc so I can order correct part(s)? Thanks much!
1 Answer Trying, The water tank for your unit is part number WR17X4358 and the water tubing would be coming from the tank if it is a 5/16" line. If it is a 1/4" line then it is the icemaker line. Read More...
Trying July 26, 2013 for Model Number TPX24BRYEBB Apparently need new water tank WR17x4358 because (facing rear of refrig) water line from left side of dual water inlet valve apparently runs to the tank, but is cracked/ broken off near valve & water is leaking onto floor. Is this correct? Per Q&A no instructions come with the tank. Where can I get instructions, especially on how to run water tubing back to inlet valve? Do I need to order additional parts? Thank you.
1 Answer Trying, Yes the water tank would need to be replaced. There are no instructions that would be available for replacing the water tank. To replace the water tank, You would need to remove the crisper shelve and bins. Once you remove the bins and shelves, pull the kickplate off and disconnect the water tubing at the bottom of the freezer door and pull unit out and disconnect the tubing from the valve. Once disconnected you can pull the reservoir out of the unit. The lines come out of the unit just behind where the valve is. Install the new one and pay attention to where the tubing for the dispenser runs through. Read More...
Stu H. May 13, 2013 for Model Number TPX24PP I understand how to make connection from AP2066390 to water solenoid on the upstream side, but how do you make the connection to the icemaker/water dispenser on the downstream side?
1 Answer Hello Stu, The ice maker does not connect to the water reservoir. The line comes under the unit to the water connection at the door hinge. Read More...
Bryan February 20, 2013 for Model Number TPX24PBBA How do I attach the new tube from the new replacement water tank to the water valve since the replacement is smooth with no screw for the threads? Is there an adapter for my new tank hose to make it fit over the threads on the water valve. I got the 5/16 Carl guess tube fittings but don't see how this helps me with holding the tubing into the water valve? Thx
1 Answer Hello Bryan, If your water valve is threaded then you will need to use the fitting that was on the old tubing to connect the water line. Read More...
Joe January 14, 2013 for Model Number tpx24pr I replaced the water tank, mover the ice lever to the down position, and held down the water dispenser button in the door for over 2 minutes. No water. I double checked to make sure I hooked up the tank properly. Why no water?
1 Answer Hello Joe, Two questions: Did you turn the water back on? Do you hear the water valve energize when the water dispense button is depressed? If yes to both questions, you should check the water filter. If no to the second question, you should check for an electrical problem at the valve, the door hinge, or at the dispenser button. If no to the first question, turn the water on. Read More...
Rod December 02, 2012 for Model Number gsl22jftebs Our water has a terrible taste.I was told replacing the water reservior and tubing should remedy this.The ice does not have this same bad taste.What do I need to order to take care of this problem?
1 Answer Hello Rod, The first thing that you want to do is to make sure that your filter MWFP has been changed. Also check to make sure that the water has been flushed good. The water tank WR17X4358 could make the water taste bad but in general it has no way to cause this as the tank is made of plastic and do not give odor or taste. Read More...
Mary S June 26, 2012 for Model Number 363.58097890 I need to replace the tubing from the water tank to the water valve. How do I get the tubing off of the water tank???? Do the tubes disconnect some way or do I need to replace the water tank??? I'm looking to use tube # WR17X2891. Is that correct??? Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Hello Mary. You need to remove the tube from the filter housing and the bottom of the door on the freezer door. You can not remove the lines from the water tank. You will need to order the water tank WR17X4358 and replace the tank. You can not replace just the lines. Read More...
Gargamel November 02, 2011 for Model Number TFX22CRXA-AA - GE frig Model Number: TFX22CRXA-AA Brand: GE Age: More than 10 years. Hi there! Dustin (?) from your main phone number asked me to post this question here (?, or on the forum - I posted there and haven't heard back). Hope you can help! I ordered and rec'd a replacement water tank (with tubes) for leaky original - tank had leak, tubes were fine. Order # 2147344 Part # AP2066390 Got the new tank installed but not sure how to reconnect the tubes. The replacement tank that was sent is exactly as the picture on your site: tank with 2 tubes that just cut off (no connecter on the ends). At the end of the original tank tubes, there was a screw-on connector that joins tank tubes to main & freezer door tubes. I thought I could just cut original connectors off and reuse on the new tubes BUT, the new tubes are completely straight/smooth - not like the original tube endings that had a grooved notch & raised "stopper" ring that keeps the connector stable on the tube. The new tubes i rec'd have two black lines market on it but that is it - no groove/stopper. I'm afraid if I install this "as is" with no "catch" the water pressure will force out the tube when I turn the water back on. There were no instructions with this tank. Today, I went to a plumbing supply house, talked to appliance repair center, spent 1 hour on phone with GE and nobody knows what i should do. Please advise and thanks so much!! Lori
1 Answer Hi Gargamel. I understand the water tank hose ends are cut squarely as the new styles are. They replaced the union(compression) Style connector you described. You will need to use push on connectors that have floating garter ring connectors hanging from each side . IMPERATIVE to cut each opposing hose exactly square as the new hose is. As the hose is pushed tight in the new connector ( John Guess ) type The inner garter ring will grab and compress the hose as needed. 5/16" to 5/16" connector is part # WR02X11330. 1/4" to 5/16" connector is part # WP4373559. Let us know if we can assist further. Thank You. Read More...
Brian October 02, 2011 for Model Number TFX22QRCCAA Picture shows tubing included. Is this the tube that goes from the solenoid to the tank or the tank to the compression union or both? If it is only one of the tubes, how does the other connect to the tank? Thanks
1 Answer brian, The replacment tank does come with the tubes needed to install the assembly, You will use the existing connectors at the valve and compression union, to make the connections. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Peter August 10, 2011 for Model Number Part Number: AP2066390, in model TPX24BRBBBB What "filter" (mentioned by you above) would the water tank tube connect to? I'm confused. Wouldn't one tube connect to the Water Inlet Valve (through the floor of the fridge), the other tube ultimately to the water dispenser in the refrigerator door (also through the floor of the fridge)?
1 Answer Hello Peter. You are correct with the model number you provided. There is no filter before the water tank WR17X4358 based on the model number you provided. Hope this helps. Read More...
