Loosen 2 quarter inch screws on top side and remove one on bottom of ice maker lower unit disconnect wiring harness install new unit and tested Great Very easy thing to do didn't need instructions. Unit is working like new. Easy to search for parts on your web site

I followed the UTube video step by step, pausing at each section made repair very easy. Watching the video is a definite must!

Simply done !

Replaced the water inlet valve. Note: although the web site shows the exact same water inlet valve, the replacement is somewhat different. You'll notice the electric prongs are facing in the opposite direction then the old one. It works like a charm need not worry as I did when I saw that. The old part is actually two parts in one. Use care when separating the front piece (it acts like a coupling where the water supply connects to and simply comes out the other side and into the refrig.) from the water inlet valve. It was a tight fit coupling that front piece to the new valve but it will fit. Make certain you purge 1-2 gallons of water before consuming any. Also dump a tray or two of ice cubes.

I order the suspect part before pulling out the ice tray and whole ice maker for inspection. As it turns out my ice tray was peeling and all gunked up and I needed a new one. I suggest in the case of ice maker issues that you pull the entire ice maker before ordering what appears to be the troubled part. I had to replace the whole ice maker which was not really that much more money than just the part.

Shut off Water and Electricity. Took out the Ice Bin. Removed one bottom hex nut and then loosened top-side hex nuts (don't remove them, just loosen them) the Ice maker will slide onto the hex nuts on the side of the refrigerator.Disconnected the wiring harness from the maker. Put everything back in reverse order and Bingo! No leaks and lots of Ice.

I looked at the video that part select send. I did exactly what it said to do,and now my refrigerator is working just great. And the noise is gone. I thank you so much for your help. And I'm a 64 year old women thats how easy it was.

1. Cleared all the food items off the broken shelf. 2. Removed the old shelf. 3. Removed the new shelf from the shipping box. 4. Inserted the new shelf. 5. Replaced food items.

1. Remove the ice-maker/water dispenser cover plate located on the freezer door, by: inserting a putty knife blade at the bottom and freeing up the two retainer tabs; then pushing up. (note: be careful pulling the cover plate, there are many electrical connections on the back).

2. Note the electrical connections on the back of the cover plate and locate the connect close to the inside of the freezer door and disconnect it. (Note: this is much easier than pulling each wire off its connection point and then having to remember which color coded wire went where).

3. Carefully work the door hinge pin back out to the right and remove it and the hinge (Note: in my case the pin was already half way out so the old door couldn't close - and since this model door had a heater which came on because the door was misaligned there was constant flow of warm upwards causing ice to melt, run down and re freeze thus making the door difficult to open).

4. Unscrew the single her head screw holding the small metal piece to the right that retains the know upon which the outer door frame turns. Move the frame to the right to free it and work it out if the way. You now have access to the ice-maker door and hinge pin assy.

Unscrewed one screw under icemaker and the two screws above, pulled out old icemaker unhooked power cord attached cord to new icemaker replaced screws and attached bail wire from old to new pluged in the refrigerator and icemaker started making ice, took about 30 minutes before first ice dropped into ice holder.

Just remove old one which was really easy since it was practically falling off and replace with new one. It is a bit tricky because you are afraid of breaking the new one. Watch the video and you will be more confident. I was REALLY impressed with the shipping. I ordered on Monday afternoon and when I returned home Tuesday afternoon it was waiting for me on my porch , and this was the week between Christmas and New Year when everyone was fussing about not receiving packages. NOT ME!

new filter cap fit perfectly, but I couldn't get filter in or out. Called appliance repair person who pushed it in -- no problem. I just didn't have enough arm force to push it in.
