original ice maker would make ice and then water would over flow into ice bin and freeze
stick the very small screw driver in the hole on the left side cover and lift up to release the keeper tab,pull out to expose the wire connecter.insert the small screw driver in the slot on the left side to release the tab while pulling apart the two connectors.tuck the wires tight to side and pull out the ice maker.I thought I was getting the whole ice maker assembly,but just got a part of it,so I had take it apart and put it back together.the hardest thing to change over was the stop lever arm that senses the level of ice in the bin.after all this,it didn't work at all.not happy around here.back to filling ice trays

Refrigerator seal was deteriorating, not sealing well.
I was hesitant to remove old seal, after I removed, I lined up new seal, and the seal popped into the slots very easily. Easy repair, no tools, worked great. The seal takes about 24 hour to seat itself for a great fit.

ice will not dispense ice from storage bin to out the door. Auger does not turn
Replaced motor it was not issue. Now I am stuck with a $300 motor I cannot return. When I say will not dispense ice everyone thinks it does not make ice. Auger does not turn to push ice out the door. Reason I thought it was auger motor when you push lever on door the auger turns about one eight of a turn. So, it would seem it is getting signal and power. Cannot find any articles on this specific issue. If anyone has a suggestion, please share.

ice maker wouldn't work
The repair went well. Before I ordered this ice tray assemble, I replaced the water inlet valve thinking that was the problem. The new ice tray came with 2 new wiring harnesses. It wasn't hard to see which one was needed for the new system. Changing the tray out was not hard at all nor was the new electrical harness. The only problem was the inlet valve sent too much water into the ice tray. After seeing the ice tray leaking, I removed it again to see why. The only thing I could come up with was too much water was being put into the ice tray. I had the old inlet valve and reinstalled it and the ice maker has worked flawlessly ever since. There was nothing wrong with the old inlet valve only the ice tray assembly.
So all good and doing a great job once again.

Replacing filter
Really easy, simple instructions, and it was on my doorstep 3 days after I ordered. Much simpler than dealing with the appliance store, where I'd have to drive to the store, order the filter, wait 7-10 days, and return to pick it up. Ughh! Internet is the way to go!

Ice would stick and not dispense
Removed the ice tray with nut driver underneath after removing and unplugging ice machine. Then by remembering, unplugged the necessary electric connectors because electric worked well(replaced electric last time I got a new assembly). Plugged in electric needed, not all (again I'm saying that), then fit back assembly with nut driver underneath.

No ice being made
Pulled the unit out after reminding myself how to do so on the internet.

Replaced bad assembly with new. Not for the average person, some basic mechanical know-how needed.
