Video makes it look easy. Kenmore refrigerator does not have "groove" along the right hand side of switch that allows for pushing down on release. Used a thin screwdriver to get under to push while holding switch edge with pliers. Kept slipping. Tape sides to avoid scratching inside of refrigerator.

I suggest turning off the water valve and power to the refrig before starting work. If this is not done the water dispenser will probably spray water down the front of the refrig. The whole icemaker assembly must be pulled out from the front. It is a friction fit--just insert fingers in the ice chute and pull out. The entire piece will pull out from the door. The control panel cover is held in by 8 screws that extend through the circuit board to the cover. It is a good idea to unplug the wiring to the circuit board when replacing the cover to prevent tension damage to the small guage wires. Once the new control panel cover is attached to the circuit board, the whole assembly can be reinstalled into the door.
