My repair job was probably the easiest one of all, as the new shelf was simply snapped into place and the job was done. I saved a lot of money from buying the part locally too.

Followed the online PartSelect video instructions and it was very helpful. The ice maker has to cycle through before it starts making ice so don't be alarmed when nothing happens when you first hook it up.

Just kept working on it.

replaced water valve and new icemaker.

It was not difficult it took a lot of time to remove the panel by removing like 20 bolts around it. Put the panel down on the floor face down then wrap the gasket around it. Putting back the panel on the door you can use some help to hold it up, while you are screwing back all those bolts. After screwing the upper bolts of the panel, you better go down at the bottom and start working on it, because the gasket tends to fall off at the bottom part. Then you can screw all the rest of the bolts. That's how you do it.

First I completely emptied out all the inside of the refrigerator door to lighten the weight of the door. Then I removed the 3 screws on top of the fridge which held the door in place. It was pretty easy to lift up the door and remove it from the bottom hinge. I removed and replaced the door closure and re-assembled the door.

Unfortunately that didn't fix the issue. The door still doesn't close on it's own. The door doesn't get lifted up at all when I open it so I assume that the counterpart to the door closure within the door itself is broken.

Loosen the screws on the sidewall (don't take them all the way out and drop them on the floor as I did) and remove the screw from the bottom bracket. Change out the electrical wires and the wire level sensor that does not come with the new unit. Put the new one in place and give it some time to cool down and make ice ( don't be impatient like I was and think the new unit was bad or that you replaced the wrong part)

I took out 1 screw , unplugged the icemaker and lifted it out and installed the new one and had ice in no time at all. can't get much easier.

use kitchen knife to pry out. replaced switch assemble and pressed back into place. Could not have done this with out help from previous customers. Thanks

Remove the food from the refrigerator.Turn off the water and unplug the refrigerator. Remove the freezer door to permit access (It just lifts up and out) Remove the steel cover at the water connection with a nut driver. Remove the current ice maker by disconnecting the electric connection by pinching the tabs & Remove the 3 nuts holding the existing ice maker. Upon removal i noticed that the filler tube had frozen likely part of the cause of the leak. Remove the Filler tube where the water connection is located by prying with a putty knife. Remove the electrical harness and the lever arm that permits or turns off the ice maker. Install the harness and lever arm on the new ice maker. Install the new filler tube which i noticed was modified with 3 rectangular holes, from the original part, perhaps to prevent freezing up. ReInstall the water connection with the clip.Install the ice maker with the top 2 nuts loosely installed and hang the unit on the 2 nuts. Position the filler tube into the ice makeer. Reconnect the electric harness. Install the final nut at the bottom of the ice maker and securely fasten all 3 nuts. Turn the water back on and reinstall the ice maker tray, with the lever arm in the down ON position. Check for any leaks. Observe overnite to determine if ice is made and check for leaks. Reinstall the Freezer Door. While i was doing all this I also took off the bottom rear cover of the refrigerator fan motor, and removed all the dust and dirt and i also used a refrigerator coil brush to remove dust from the coils from the front of the unit.

I did not do the repair yet, there is no schematic on how to route the hose; also no description of how to do the routing/connections.

The old piece had broken off, so no removal of the old part was necessary.

New post snapped right into place, no tools required.

Total time for repair was less than two minutes.

Had to remove the freezer door. Held on by 4 screws. Removed bottom screw on old icemaker and loosened the top 2. Slid the old icemaker up, removed the wiring harness and installed it on the new one. Took the wire out that turns the icemaker off and installed it on the new one. Hooked new icemaker on 2 screws, installed bottom screw and installed freezer door. Turned water back on and started making ice.

Removed old icemaker by removing two hex screws and one phillip's head screw.

Disconnected power connection to refrigerator.

Removed power connection harness and ice level sensor arm/levor and cover from old ice maker and installed on new ice maker.

Re-installed in refrigerator. It was simple on this model.
