PTC22LFDARWW General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

Opened, discovered not flapper but more complicated

Remove front cover did not remove wires remove ice and water unit took off flapper put new one on 5 minutes back together

Followed the online video. Unplugged refrigerator, removed trim piece, lifted control board cover, removed 4 screws retaining circuit control board and removed the 3 connectors from the control board. Located flapper and removed by using small flat tip to take tension off flapper connectors. Helper held flash light to illuminate flapper connectors. Reversed procedure. New flapper seals well and cured problems. Circuit board was a bit different than one in video, but still had the 3 connectors. Marked each connector with grease pencil at top edge to ensure correct reconnection. Should note how wires are threaded around circuit board to ensure they are tucked back in correctly in reassembly. Remove trim piece carefully. I broke 2 of the 8 plastic pins that hold trim on. May be due to age of unit as they were brittle. 6 pins still hold trim piece flush.

Remove the one screw holding the unit in place, unplug it, slide in the replacement, plug and screw it in.

I unplugged the refrigerator. Pressed the tab near the light bulb. Unplugged the socket and reconnected it.

There are Great videos on YouTube!!! Turned off power,Removed trim ring, Pushed a philips head screwdriver in one of the holes underneath the electrical panel with the selector push buttons. This releases the electrical panel. There are Three wire sets with plugs. I removed the plugs and took the electrical panel out. Removed four Phillips head screws and pulled out the big paddle switch. This then exposes the flapper. Replaced flapper with new one and reassembled everything. When I had everything apart, I cleaned with window cleaner. It was pretty moldy from the water leaking. Turned power back on and tested everything to make sure I didn't mess anything up. Works great

Followed instructions. All the prior reviews were very helpful and were correct: it's easy to do!

Replaced flapper. Followed the video. The lamp caused the removable plastic bracket (which supports the control panel and the ice chute) to fuse with the plastic frame in the door. Eventually broke the fused plastic, removed the bracket, and filed the rough broken plastic before reassembly.

Researched on internet/you tube; ordered part, and did the repair. Easy to do and saved the cost of a service call.

Use small putty knife to cut internal sealant on ice maker door trim piece. Then you can easily remove it.

I just followed the instructions on the video and it was exactly as they said......no surprises.

took front off took out two screws the two more unplugged friguator pulled off two conectors from board put in other one put back screws plugged in frigurator done five minutes

My husband took out the old icemaker in about 5 minutes. The new icemaker was a perfect fit even though the refrigerator was >10yrs old. The only difficult part was the plug extension that was needed so that it would fit into an older appliance. The part was included, it just made the cord about 3 inches longer than it needed to. After working with it for about 20 minutes we were able to fit it on the back side of the icemaker. Now it works great!!

I just removed the four screws first then the two screws that held the board, put the new board in replaced the screws and i was done.

Just changed out the controlboard.
Unscrewed the screws holding controlboard, pulled it out , put the new one in. Put the screws back in and put the outer cover back on . Done
