Re: broken water actuator
Hi this is tech crazy
the solution to the problem is
You should be able to replace this part yourself. Follow these steps to replace the water actuator:
- Unplug the refrigerator to completely disconnect electrical power. Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator.
- Remove the drip tray (Key 23 in the image below) from the bottom of the dispenser.
- Remove
the screws (Key 43) from the bottom of the dispenser module cover (Key
4). NOTE: You model may not have screws at the bottom of the dispenser
cover. If not, push down on the top of the dispenser cover and pry out
on the bottom of the cover with a flat tip screw driver to remove it.
- Pull to dispenser module cover up to release the top clips and remove this cover and set it aside.
- Remove the screws (Key 17) that are on each side of the dispenser module (Key 8).
- Carefully
pull the dispenser module out slightly from the door. It will have
wires attached. Pay attention to how the water tube and the ice door
assembly are positioned. Pull this module out far enough to remove and
replace your water actuator (Key 24).
Reverse the above process for reassembly.
