Repair was fairly straight-forward. First removed the ice cube receptacle and the glass rack for access to the ice maker. Loosened two hex head screws at the top of the rear plate of the ice maker (do not remove completely), and removed one hex head screw at the bottom of the rear mounting plate of the ice maker. After removing the bottom screw, lifted the ice maker off the two top screws. The only real difficulty was positioning the unit so as to be able to unplug the wiring harness from the rear left side of the ice maker. This turned out to be a awkward, but a little manouvering allowed access to the harness receptacle. A metal clip at the rear of the icemaker clips over the insulation of one of the wires in the wiring harness. Remove the clip from the wire before attempting to remove the icemaker. The wiring harness was too short to allow access to the release tab at the top of the harness connector, so the tab had to be worked loose with a screwdriver from the front of the receptacle. If you take this approach, make sure power has been turned off to the refrigerator to avoid an electrical accident. A probe with a short right-angle tip would release the tab without resorting to inserting a screwdriver into the receptacle. Remove the old unit and set aside. -- Compare the replacement icemaker with the original to determine whether any brackets, clips, wire bails, etc. must be transferred to the new unit. In this case, only the wire bail that gages depth of ice in the ice receptacle had to be transferred. Water entered the old unit through a cutout in the back of the cube-shaped plastic piece at the right side of the icemaker. The new unit had a pre-molded opening in the right side of the cube for water entry. Three score marks were provided in the rear wall of the cube to convert the new unit to rear water entry. Using a box knife, the rear of the plastic cube on the new unit was opened along the score marks. The extra opening in the side does not seem to cause any leakage problem. Installation of the new unit is the reverse of disassembly. Insert the wiring harness plug into the receptacle at the rear of the new icemaker. The plug should only engage the receptacle in the right orientation due to the latching tab and notch on the plug and receptacle. Press the plug into the receptacle until the latching tab is engaged. Place the wire clip at the lower rear of the unit (transfer the clip from the old unit if necessary) over the wire the clip was originally removed from and press firmly to seat the clip on the wire. Reorient the back side of the icemaker toward the mounting screws in the rear wall of the freezer compartment. Place the two slotted holes in the rear of the new unit over the screws in the back of the freezer compartment and press down to engage the screws. Replace the third screw in the lower mounting flange of the new icemaker. Tighten all three self-threading screws, being careful to not strip out the holes in the freezer wall. Replace the ice receptacle and the glass rack (if equipped) and unit is ready to use. Dispose of the first couple of ice dumps to insure any debris has been flushed out of the new icemaker.

Removed the original part and replaced it with new part

Removed pantry lid,pantry drawer, shelf, two drawers. Unscrewed metal side rail. Removed right side end cap plus attached back rail. Had to figure out how to remove sliding drawer mechanism, not easy, all plastic, easily breakable-reattached that to new right side end cap. Put everything back (not easy-angle makes it hard). Reattached lid to new side end cap and all is well! My husband and I did this-for us it took two people.

I watched the video on how to install the icemaker. Everything went just perfect, and my new icemaker was producing ice cubes in a couple of hours. Thank you for making things so easy.

I removed the storage drawers, glass shelf and the large drawer. Next I removed the two mounting screws and removed the Pantry End Cap. I moved the slide bar and the drawer guide the the new Pantry End Cap. Then I installed the new Pantry End Cap in the refrigerator and replaced the drawers and shelf. Last, I installed the drawer cover. Job Done!

The repair was easy. chosing the right part required phone help. From the web photo of the part it is not knowable if the part includes the glass window. I had to call. Also I needed help if finding the correct part. But alls well that ends well. And the replacement was easy. Thanks for your interest in my experience.

Biggest problem was unplugging the snap in wire connector behind the ice maker. Otherwise the repair was straight forward.

Followed the diagram and other people's comments. A bit of trouble with the sliding part, but otherwise very simple to change out.

For some time my ice maker would leak and form a block of ice in the bin. But since it still made useable ice, I just lived with it. Then it stopped working all together. I took it out and cleaned it a couple of times, but it would only cycle one or two times before stopping. I was really skeptical that the new ice maker would solve the problem, but I tried it anyway. It has been in about 3 weeks now working like a charm. No leaks and cycles perfectly. Easy installation, works perfectly and solved all my ice maker troubles.

Removed old one that was held on by two screws and replaced it with the new one and the two screws.

It looked easy on the video so I ordered the icemaker. It was easy to remove, except for the electric connection. I then realized that the water outlet opening did not fit. Mine comes from the back. I took a chance and replaced the old fitting for the new so the water tube would fit. It took me a while to figure how to do this. The icemaker did not function until the next day, but has been working fine since. My husband is happy and I am sure I saved at least $200.00 or more.

I removed the pantry drawer, removed the pantry end cap and replaced it with the new part. The only thing that took a little thinking was detaching and reattaching the temperature control slider.

Found Parts Select while searching for parts to fix symptom. Other's experience and video to replace the ice maker was of great help. I had done this repair on my Motor Home before so knew I should be able to do it on the home appliance. Followed the video and fixed it in short time considering I work very deliberatly on such things.
