Open freezer door remove swinging door above icemaker for access to icemake and it simptly pulls out with some resistance ( no screws ) then you can unplug wire connecion remove old icemaker take new icemaker plug in connector slide in to bracket attached to icebox line up water outlet reinstall swinging door and wait for ice production. . . . . Easy breezy

Watched video then repaired very easy since I have extreme RA in my hands.

1. Remove the ice-maker/water dispenser cover plate located on the freezer door, by: inserting a putty knife blade at the bottom and freeing up the two retainer tabs; then pushing up. (note: be careful pulling the cover plate, there are many electrical connections on the back).

2. Note the electrical connections on the back of the cover plate and locate the connect close to the inside of the freezer door and disconnect it. (Note: this is much easier than pulling each wire off its connection point and then having to remember which color coded wire went where).

3. Carefully work the door hinge pin back out to the right and remove it and the hinge (Note: in my case the pin was already half way out so the old door couldn't close - and since this model door had a heater which came on because the door was misaligned there was constant flow of warm upwards causing ice to melt, run down and re freeze thus making the door difficult to open).

4. Unscrew the single her head screw holding the small metal piece to the right that retains the know upon which the outer door frame turns. Move the frame to the right to free it and work it out if the way. You now have access to the ice-maker door and hinge pin assy.

I couldn't figure out if the front plate would come off so getting access to the screw to unscrew it was problematic at first. I don't have whatever tool you need to get at that angle so I used an Allen wrench with a 6.5 mm socket to unscrew the screw and replace the clip. After figuring that combination out it went really fast.

Parts Select has great videos that describe step-by-step how to perform the repair. I did a sloppy job of diagnosing the problem, and concluded it was the water valve. The actual problems was that the ice maker was not sending a signal to the valve to send water. I could have determined this if I had tested the ice maker using all of the connection points where a jumper wire could be inserted. The ice maker arrived on my doorstep exactly when promised, and was an easy ten-minute fix. My conclusion is that an average person CAN work on their own appliances with a company like PartsSelect to backstop them.

Watched video, used putty knife to remove front panel, unplugged wired and then took old arm off, and replaced it with a new one. Also disconnected electricity before repair. Thanks for the tips, fast shipping, and helpful video.

Installed two circuit boards which was very easy & within 30 minutes ice was being made

Although you could hear the motor turning, no ice would dispense through the door. The bottom portion of the auger (where the screw attaches)had twisted off due to numerous attempts to get ice when there was a block of frozen ice in the ice bin. It was easy enough to remove the auger assembly, (two screws in the bottom of the ice bin, but since the auger was bent on the bottom, we could not slide the many blades, spacers and washers off. A rotary cutting tool was carefully used to cut the distorted piece off allowing all of the other parts to slide off. Keep the parts in order and replace them as shown on the diagram. Reattach the auger assembly in the bin with the two screws and we again had ice through the door.

I watched the film on installing and taking out. Step by step. easy.

removed the ice container, remove the two screws that hold in the shaft and seal. use pliers to remove worn out shaft, drop in the new shaft and seal reinstall the cover with the two screws and your done. took maybe 5 minutes start to finish.

Read the reviews on how to test if part was bad. It was! Ordered new infered sensors and watched your repair video! 2 hours later the ice maker was making ice:) Very easy! Thanks David

Removed icemaker and installed the new one. Went from six tiny ice cubes to four big ice cubes. Ice is of a higher quality, and the ice no longer falls out of the bin as the old ice maker's ice had once been prone to doing. A certified epic win on my part.

Install was done in reverse order of uninstall. The only thing that made this install a bit tricky is that the fill cup on the replacement icemaker was not the same part as on the original. I could have attempted to trim the replacement fill cup but didn't know how well that would work. I instead elected to install the original fill cup onto the new icemaker. This added a bit of time and complexity to the repair but I followed a repair video for when just the ice mold is being replaced. That video told me how to disassemble the ice mold and timer motor which had to be done to in order to replace the fill cup. It's been about 2 weeks since repair was made and the icemaker seems to be working properly.

TURN OFF WATER (if not already). Cut (or disconnect filler tube at bottom). Remove faceplate from refrigerator ice/water dispenser area. Remove screw holding metal bracket that holds water tube at filler point. Held metal mounting bracelet and pulled old filler tube out. Fed new filler tube thru bottom (hole is located at bottom of left door at hinge). As tube came out at top, pulled length needed to mount to new mounting bracket. Remounted new bracket (with hose attached) with new screw. Reconnected tube at bottom water line connection. Turn on water.
