5.0 out of 5 stars Watch for the line plugs… identical replacement from what I see
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2024
Identical to the one in my refrigerator, so an easy replacement. Took our time and managed to install ok. Tested and worked then leaked, then hardly any flow! The leak I came to find was at the front fitting… long story short…. I didn’t realize there are two tiny plugs in the water lines. When mine was delivered one was in place and the other had fallen out… I opened the front fitting by chance and out fell the plug…. Snapped the hose back into place properly, and all appears to be fine. Youtube video gives great overview of procedure, let’s see if it performs… fingers crossed.

For a year we have been dealing with our water shutting on and off in our GE Fridg. Model # GSS25QTACC We had no idea what the problem was. One minute the water would work and the next minute it wouldn't. So, that went on until one day I had water all over my floor. Then we knew it had to be a cracked line or tank.
When my Hubs pulled the tank out, it was cracked. So we replaced it. Although the new tank didn't leak.... That wasn't our only problem. Water freezes behind the spot where it comes out into your glass. After figuring that out.. and fixing that problem.... We finally have drinking water from our fridg again.

Check out our video. At the end, I will show you how to unfreeze the water that keeps freezing in your fridg and fix the problem if it happens to freeze again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as it should, minor modification needed to fit
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2013
Well so far so good, this is the second 1 I have installed, the first one purchased from searspartsdirect.com ($55) started leaking from the seam after about a year. I hope this one will hold up better.
GE Model # ESS25LGMACC
Everything fit well inside the fridge in comparison to the old unit. However when I went to hook up the hoses, the long hose was too short to reach the 5/16 union at the freezer door. Lucky for me when I replaced the original one I had cut it out and used another 5/16 union in the fridge. So I took a small section of the old hose, and extended the longer tube with that hose and the 5/16 union to make it long enough and run in the original location. I had to add a little over 1 foot to get to run in the original position and clips. You can buy the 5/16 unions here if needed

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect fit/easy to install
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2023
I ordered this part because our old one cracked. It was very easy to install. Only required basic hand tools (Screwdriver) and ability to use your hands. No defects and fit perfectly. Couldn't tell the original part from the replacement after install.

1.0 out of 5 stars replacement was pretty straightforward (though I don't recall there actually being instructions
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2016
It worked, replacement was pretty straightforward (though I don't recall there actually being instructions, probably since there are different models of refrigerators it is used for - I used a youtube video), no more leaks (for now). Shouldn't have busted in the first place, one of many design flaws with this fridge.

-------------- EDIT 8/17/17 -----------------
So here we are again, about to buy the same part. Why? Because the root cause of this thing busting (aside from a weak design - as I said before, this shouldn't just bust) is water getting frozen somewhere in the line. A terribly common problem with these refrigerators, YouTube even has videos of people using blow dryers inside of their freezers to thaw the line. I am a couple months shy of my one year anniversary with this product, so I am going to see how the 1-year warranty process plays out before ordering a new one. Or not. At this cost, it's probably not worth the hassle of chasing a warranty...

--------------EDIT 10/11/17------------------
So just for fun (and as a public service), I decided to chase down the 1-year warranty. It wasn't worth the hassle, though the rep at GE was very helpful in making sure they actually DIDN'T honor the warranty on parts not purchased directly through them. So I am knocking this down to a 1-star product. Original part was bad, replacement part was bad, warranty isn't honored (they shouldn't post it on Amazon if they don't honor it within the Amazon purchasing system) and it is just a matter of time before the part I just got a few weeks ago starts leaking again since (as usual) the water line is ONCE AGAIN frozen in my refrigerator. I'd knock the fridge down to a 1 as well if I was reviewing it since this is a widespread problem. You will be happy with this part for a short while, but everyone who still has 4 or 5-star reviews just hasn't had it long enough for it to develop a leak again as soon as things freeze up. THE PART SHOULDN'T JUST BUST when water pressure is applied. PERIOD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you understand how the tubing fits the ring in the valve!
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023
The water tank kit is great, no issues. A few points about assembly to prevent broken parts:

* Where the tubing fits in the valve (and other such places), to INSERT the tubing just push it it. To REMOVE the old tubing (or to reseat the new one), PUSH the plastic ring on the valve in, to release the tubing. If you just pull (hard enough), you will get out it... and likely destroy the way it seals on the inside, and will need a new valve.

* On my fridge, part of the tubing runs under on the left side, close to the door hinge. You may need to remove the bottom plastic grille to get good access to things, it's not hard, but take your time because that part is fragile.

* The water tank inside the fridge has a cover that can be difficult to remove; I ended up breaking a plastic retainer by not realizing that you're supposed to pull it straight up. If in doubt, find a video that shows the procedure and FOLLOW it.

5.0 out of 5 stars General Electric water lines wear out and break easily.
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2022
I had to order the complete water tank because the water lines inside the GE fridge were were worn out and burst after 9 years.
These plastic lines are soldered to the water tank and have to be replaced as one part.
These lines run next to the hot compressor and disintegrate over time.
I protected them now with a simple garden water hose.
Hope this way they will last more than 9 years.
