Ice maker stopped working. Thought it might be the timer. Actually teflon coating coming off.
Removed the ice maker. Used a small mirror (wife's make up mirror) to find the screws. Inspected and found most teflon coating missing. Ordered new ice maker and installed. Works perfect.

Water Inlet Valve
The installation was very easy.
Unplug the refrigerator.
Turn off the water supply and disconnect from the old valve.
Remove the old valve and disconnect power connectors for each valve, disconnect the Ice maker water tube and the Water dispenser tube.
Because of the new replacement part, I needed to cut the threaded connectors off of the water tubes. Carefully make straight cuts.
Insert the tubes into the correct inlet valves, make sure they are inserted properly, 1 for ice maker, 1 for water dispenser.
Connect the power connectors to the new valve.
Mount the valve onto the refrigerator.
Connect the water supply.
Turn on the water supply valve. Check for leaks.
Plug in the refrigerator.
Test water dispenser and then ice making capabilities.
Seems like a lot of steps, but they are logically connected for this repair. Easy replacement.

The light would not turn on when the refrigerator door was opened
I removed the plastic portion to get to the switch and wires. I removed the old switch by disconnecting the two wires and pushing it out of its setting.
I discovered the old switch only had 2 prongs where the new switch had 3. Once I figured which 2 of the 3 prongs would light the lightbulb,
I then connected the two wires to the correct prongs of the new switch. I pushed the new switch into its setting and replaced the plastic portion on the refrigerator. Voila, success. The refrigerator door now comes on when its door is opened.
Thanks for the having the part and getting it at our door step in 3 days.

Water Fill Cup Broke
The Ice maker unit had to be removed and the shaft had to also be removed, which required dis-assembling the motor drive. The thickness of the shaft and the bearing fill cup prevents it from simply pushing it in place. Other than that I have Ice.

stopped making ice
I looked up the PartSelection website. Found the parts from the sketches of units and reviewed the videos on repairs. Then I ordered the parts, altho I ordered the complete unit, instead of the control block that said was problem 59% of time. Following instructions replaced the ice maker. Then took apart the auger in the basket and thought I had an incomplete part, but upon closer inspection forund out it was correct. My only problem was that there was no instructions on how to get the block off end of shaft. Tried to impact it off, but by accident found out it screwed off. Then final repair went fast. Parts came fast and overall VERY happy with parts and repairs. They are heavier than original parts so should last longer.

Ice would not dispense from the door
Removed ice bucket and discovered the auger drum was broken.
After I received the new part, I removed the front screws of the ice bucket, removed the clip that held the auger and other parts together, and then slide each part off the auger until I got to the broken drum.
Assembly was in reverse except you must pay attention where all the spacers and ice crusher bars go back into the original position. This was the most difficult step.
Works great now, crushed and cubed ice dispenses thru the door like new.
