After unplugging electric cord and turning off water at wall, I then removed the two screws that secured the valve to the refrigerator. I then removed the water connections to the valve and removed a short portion of the hose going to the icemaker. I then installed the connection pieces provided package and reversed the procedures to install the new part. It was easier than I thought it would be.
I pulled the cover from back of fridge then removed two screws from the water valve disconected the wires and removed water lines. had to reroute water lines so the universal part would fit. don't forget to turn off the water befor doing the above. found new mounting hole and reconected water lines. worked like a champ.
