Water outlet tubing leaking in elbow behind water filter

Thin, flexible edge on outermost door gasket was tearing from the main gasket, likely due to being rubbed when accessing refrigerator..

Gasket is held in place by an extrusion on the back side. Simply remove the old gasket and press the new gasket's extrusion into the track on the door.

ice maker is stuck on crushed ice.

We had someone to come and look at it and we were told it was the solenoid valve. The repairman unstuck it for us and said when it does it again, he would have to order the part. We took it upon ourselves to order the part and DIY. We replaced the part that we were told was the problem and "guess what" it's still not fixed. It's still shooting out crushed ice. Will have to call repair guy back out here to see what we did wrong.
