Annoyingly Difficult to Install
October 30, 2021|Larry, Spring Branch, Texas
Disconnect wiring to the left of the opening. You'll need the access space to change the water connections. If possible, practice the disconnect/reconnect process in the open (with space) before attempting in the confined location. The "push-to-connect" function is nice, but the disconnect is challenging in the space available without specialty tools The small wire/springs that back-up the water connections will "ping" off into the interior when you try to remove them if not extremely careful. The new housing does NOT come with replacements nor was I able to find how I would have ordered replacements in advance. Would have been nice to have the replacements but connections can be made without them. Having the water all the way off to prevent the whole work area getting dirty/slippery is essential, as is the electrical power being off.

I found a similar DIY installation video, but it wasn't so easy of a job for me. Then again I'm not very mechanically inclined. Anyway, I did manage to get it installed and it did work. Hallelujah!
