I removed the old lamp cover and case. Discovered that the last repair person had not re installed it correctly so the case had melted from the bulbs. I Removed the screws that was supposed to hold it up, assembled the case and cover, inserted the screws and anchored them in where they belong. Problem solved!
The vegetable bins at the bottom of the refigerator weren't sliding smoothly, as the two outlying rollers had snapped off the large plastic frame that houses said bins. Unclipped/unsnapped all the covers and glass shelving and remaining rollers attached to the frame and reinstalled them on the new frame. The only tough part was removing/installing a couple of large transpaent pieces of plastic that sit directly under the glass shelf. I'm not sure what their function is, except perhaps to look nice. But I had to pull the frame out with surprising force to snap the pieces in and out. Had to use a screwdriver for leverage and was afraid I was going to crack the frame. There must be a trick to it, because I'm a strong guy and it was still hard for me to do; there must be an easier way. Nevertheless I got them in ok, and bins pull out easily again. I was impressed when comparing the old frame to the new one, btw, as the new one's roller-attachment point is far sturdier than the old one. Obviously this was a weak point that has been well-addressed.
My husband took out the ice maker. We ordered the part. He looked on YouTube for instructions. Including looking up instructions, I think it took him way less than an hour.
Tape off the light button so door alarm does not go off. Take off the clear light shield and remove the light bulbs. Be careful, bulbs may still be HOT!! With Phillips head screw driver unscrew the light plate assy. Drop it down in a comfortable position. Disconnect the connector, unscrew the thermal sensor and remove light assy. Install new light assy into light plate assy. There is no thermal senor in the new assy. Snap light plate assy back into place and install the two screws previously taken out. Install bulbs and clear cover. Remove tape from light door switches and you are done. Lights should go on and off when door buttons are pushed in and out.
Each time we've had to move we have to remove the doors from the fridge to get it thru the front door.since water and ice run thru the freezer door there are 2 tubes that connect at the bottom of the freezer door that aren't meant to be separated very often if ever.it's easier to cut the tubing on b
With alot of elbow grease and a pair of pliars we managed to get the old connector off wo cuttig the tubing as the tubing was getting to short from being cut once to many times & there was no more play in the length.Original connector was a different color and shapped slightly different than the new one so was a bit concerned that I had ordered the wrong part but it went one very easily & did not leak. We even managed to remove it again just to see if it was possible wo cutting again. it came off with no trouble.I would say the replacement part was a better fit than the original simply because we could remove it easily wo having to cut the tube!
