A few screws out and in. and the rail just clipped in under the glass

to repair the center rail, all I did was remove the food and the top glass and insert the rail!!! to repair the end cap all I did was remove the big drawer and remove the broken end cap and replace with the new one. My only thought is this is the third end cap I have had to replace not very sturdy construction where the lid hangs

Replaced the ice maker. I have a 3 door refrig. It has a bottom drawer freezer. Remove the freezer door to make this much simpler. On my unit, the ice maker is installed with three screws, rather than one and two clips. Check before you try to pull it out. You should unplug the old ice maker from the refrig, leaving the wires on the old ice maker. It's much easier to remove the old wiring harness from the old ice maker once you've removed the front plastic cover on the unit. Both plugs on the harness have clips on them to prevent accidental disconnections. Be sure to find and press the clip releases before you pull on the wires. Nut driver makes this job easier than screw driver. You only need one size for all screws. I used the old ice maker bottom mounting clip rather than trying to bend the new one to shape. Much easier. My old ice maker had an extra wiring clip, which I moved to the new unit before the install. There is one wiring clip to hold the temperature probe, and another just to keep the wires neat. Letting the old ice maker front plastic cover warm up a bit before you try to pry it off for reuse is a good idea. Less chance of cracking. Two hours after the install, I had new ice in the ice bin.

Remove the vegetable and fruit drawers. Cover of the pantry was off due to the broken pin. Remove the three nuts with a nut driver. Lift up on the old end cap to remove and replace it with the new one. Replace the nuts and put the cover back on. Replace the two drawers and you are done. Repair was easy

Opened the refrigerator door, pulled down the filter cover, twisted the old one out and removed it. Placed the new one in - twisted it into place, replaced the cover and closed the door. It is working great!!

After researching the problem (I assumed it was a leaky ice maker), I discovered it could either be the ice maker itself or the water inlet valve. I gambled and tried replacing the water inlet valve since it was the cheaper part. This was very straightforward, however, there is very little slack in the tubing, so don't trim much before re-inserting the tubing back into the valve. Although this did improve the situation it didn't wholly eliminate the problem so I knew I would need to also replace the ice maker. From here on in the instructions apply to the Kitchen Aid model I've listed. I gather that there is some difference between different vendors so my instructions might differ slightly for other vendors. From the old ice maker you will need to scavenge 1) the end cap for the ice maker, 2) the actuator bar 3) a filler tube flange and 4) the wire harness. The new unit doesn't ship with these. Clear out the freezer and disconnect the power, I don't think you want the compressor running full speed the entire time. When you pull open the freezer door you will see it is secured to the slide by four 1/4" nuts/screws. My advice is to loosen (do not remove) these nuts and remove the door altogether, this will give you more room to work. Now reach to the back of the unit and unplug the wire harness from the back wall of the freezer. At the bottom of the unit remove the screw holding the unit to the freezer. At the top of the unit, you will see two screws that secure the ice maker to the wall. Loosen (do not remove) these enough for the ice maker to be moved (up). The push up and remove the ice maker. Now remove the end cap, the actuator bar, the filler tube flange and the other end of the wire harness. Take your new unit and insert these components HOWEVER, a word of warning be sure that the plastic tab on the wire harness pops up into the slot when you insert it into the ice maker, if it doesn't pop up the wire harness may pop out during installation you may have to repeat the installation. You may need a small screwdriver to pull the tab up. Secondly it appears that the ice maker ships in the off position so you must insert the actuator bar in the off (up) position, and put it in the on (down) position after installation. The metal bracket that holds the bottom of the ice maker to the wall might need to be bent to make it fit correctly, so I would suggest dry fitting the unit until the hole in the bracket lines up with the screw hole. Once you've done that, hang the unit on the two top screws, threading the fill tube into the "flange", thread the wire harness around the tube and reconnect it. Tighten the two top screws and then re-insert the bottom screw and tighten all screws/nuts. Hang the door (tighten the screws) and you're done. Space inside the freezer is pretty limited and removing the door was a HUGE time saver, allowing much greater freedom of movement inside the unit. I first tried it with the door on and it was extremely difficult to maneuver.

Remove one screw from vertical mullion rail, disconnect wire harness. Reverse to install. Pivot block remove two screws and replace. It took longer to retrieve my tools from the garage than to do the job. Tried to purchase these parts locally but it would take 7-10 days to receive. Plus shipping and price was $45.00 more by the time I received these parts. Total cost was $95.57 delivered to my door. Parts were at the door within 24 hrs. I saved on $100.00 - 150.00 sevice call not to mention the $45.00. Plus the time of waiting on parts. I am 56 and retired. I should get into the repair business, what a rip off. The door works better than when the unit was new. Thanks Parts Select
