Thomas L Baltimore , MD June 04, 2018 Appliance: Jenn-Air Refrigerator JCD2389GES The ice maker was leaking into the freezer making a huge mess and freezing the ice bin and auger so it could not be removed After reading other customer stories I decided to replace everything - the ice maker, the water inlet valve assembly, and the water inlet valve kit. After defrosting everything (and discovering some old frozen food “relics” that were discarded), I installed the parts (following the excellent video instructions) and completely solved the problem. Now I have all the ice I need! Thanks for another great repair experience.

Helen P Manhattan , KS April 23, 2016 Water running continuously in ice maker and spraying down in freezer After Googling the problem, husband and I correctly guessed, with this site's help, that the water inlet valve was probably not turning off properly. After viewing the DIY video of how to install a new valve, he decided he could do it. Part arrived in 2 days - great customer service! It did take a little longer to install due to the new valve assembly having the "quick connect" for the water lines instead of what was on the original part. It took three tries to get those connected fully so that water did not leak from the lines. We had to monitor the process for the first few ice cycles. Husband wasn't crazy about the new connections on the assembly but they aren't leaking now. Overall, the video made the process easy, relatively quick, and definitely cheaper than paying full price for the valve assembly and a repairman to install. The ice maker is in full working order now. Read More... 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers, Wrench Set
