Shut off water supply. filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the refrigerator on the inside. open the drop-down door. by hand pull the filter downward. then twist it to the left one quarter turn. it should pull out. I replaced it with a filter bypass plug. you can purchase a high quality filter to replace.it don't buy cheap filter.I made that mistake! hope this helps good luck!

I'm a pretty handy person generally but I had to call on my engineer neighbor to help. I've never soldered before so I didn't feel comfortable installing the thermistor. I had everything ready for him so all he did was cut the existing thermistor out, strip the wires on the replacement , solder and tape and he was seriously done in 10 minutes! I replaced everything and plugged the fridge in to find that my fridge still freezes everything. I have now ordered the damper control and gasket to hopefully fix this problem.

I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

The leftover broken piece of the rail was removed from the crisper shelf supporting brackets and the new replacement installed in place using the front and rear tabs inserted into the crisper support bracket. Both crisper drawers now slide in and out properly.

I removed all shelving. Used a cordless screwdriver with nut piece on end and took out nuts. Then had to CAREFULLY remove the mechanism that lets in cold air by gradation from the old end cap. Then put these parts on the new end cap. This took some thinking. Finally reset endcap and put unit back together again. Sucess and I am 61 and female.

I removed the drawers, glass shelf and the old frame. I had to remove several parts from the old frame and reinstall on the new one. It took a couple of minutes to figure out how to remove one part by prying with a small screwdriver. Otherwise, everything was straightforward.

I pulled out the pantry drawer, the two crisper drawers above, and the glass shelf and supports.
I used a 1/2" nutdriver to take out 3 nuts and then reused them to put in the new pieces. Save your existing hardware since new nuts were not supplied. This was so easy! The right one was a little more challenging because of the temperature control. Take a minute to see how it works when you take it off the old one. That will help you recreate it on the new one.
I am a fairly handy woman. I did ask one of my guy friends to help me find the right tool to use.
This was really easy. I think the original design is cheap and poorly done, especially considering how much we paid for this fridge.

We removed the old one nd made note of how it fit into the back. We screwed it into place and put the door back on. No problems at all

Dropped down the housing for the water filter, twisted, removed item and slotted in the new filter. Easy as pie.

My ice maker would not produce ice. I removed motor module which involved removing ice maker from freezer, removing motor module cover and 3 screws. I found short (burnt place) in copper of existing module. Ordered new motor module, replaced, and all is fine. Great service, quick delivery and correct part.

I have never used the ice maker because I have a well and didn't want to usewell water to make ice. I usually make ice with bottled water.
I decided to try making ice with gravity fed water from a converted water fountain placed on a higher level than the refrigerator, locater in my garage next to the kitchen.
When I looked at the rear of the frig. I saw a copper pipe (on the bottom of the frig.) that lead to a valve, with a plastic tube that went to the freezer. I didn't think that the gravity fed water could go down to the bottom and return to the freezer at the top, so I cut the plastic tube, and fed the water directly to the ice maker.
I only put a small amount of water in my water source because I wasn't shure what would happen. The water filled the tray and the rest of the water went to the container that catches the ice.
I did get one tray of ice. I later found that the valve that the copper pipe went to, has a 7 minute timer that only allows a small amount of water to pass.
My next effort will be to connect to the copper pipe and see if it will allow the gravity fed water to rise to the ice maker. Wish me luck

took out the old cover. then put in the new one! Easy as that. Thank you.

Popped the old one out with a kitchen knife and popped the new one back in. It tool less than 15 seconds!!
