1) Removed the screws from lower back plate 2) Removed the screws holding the plastic water lines in place (little plastic brackets - several of them) 3) Take a picture of how the tubing and what hose goes into what part - the 5/16" hose can go into 2 different spots - I didn't do this and I had to fix this 4) Pull out the hose "tabs" that lock the clamp into place (several) 5) Push in new hose 6) Put in clamp 7) I had to remove the filter on the inside of the fridge. Remove the filter, there is one screw that comes out, then you will have access to the hose clamps 8) Repeat for all the other hoses 9) Put the plate and brackets back into place (the picture really helps on how to orient and route the 3 different tubes 10) Test the water 11) Crack open a beer for a job well done
Super easy - take a picture! It will save you time!
I was unable to replace the shelf (no assembly required) because I was sent the incorrect part even though I gave the model #, serial # and exact description and measurement to the agent to whom I spoke. Even worse, I was told that I was responsible for returning the part at my expense. Rather than risking getting another incorrect part I will have a replacement plexiglass made to fit my shelf.
An easy way to get a refrigerator out from the wall is to use a tow strap or 1/2 to 3/4 in. rope. Throw a loop behind refer while keeping both ends in your hands. Let it settle down to the lower half of unit and pull using both hands. Comes right out. Remove lower panel. Unscrew water valve from cabinet. Remove all tube holders Lay some rags down to catch a little water drainage. Turn off water supply valve at wall. Unplug Power. Remove filter and filter holder. (one screw). remove tube from valve by removing plastic C clip. Push plastic ring towards the valve and pull out tube at same time. With the tube free, remove filter, then mount screw to remove the inside filter holder. When it is out, pull the tube doing the same process as the lower end. Pull tube out and replace with new one putting everything back in reverse order. Before placing tube holders back on, turn on water to check for leaks. After turning water back on and plugging in power, push refer back into place. While I was there, I also replaced the hose from the wall to the refer.
Took out shelf were the drawer slides are, out of the fridge. Took a look of broken plastic slides to see how they were mounted before unsnapping them off the shelf, also compared with new slides before continuing. Unsnapped broken plastic slides by pressing the plastic clips off the shelf, pressing with my fingers, no tools used. Installed new slides the same way old slides were. Slides have a top and bottom, so make sure to compare before unsnapping them off. When aligned, they snap right in. Installed the shelf back in the fridge with all the items that were on it, then slid the drawer back in and VIOLA! back like new. VERY EASY, no tools needed for my fridge, not sure for different fridges.
Remove the crisper drawer for room to work, locate the two mounting holes at the top, front of the shelf, insert the plastic hinge pin on the outside wall side. Holding the front(cover0 in one hand, reach under the cover with your other hand, grasp the second hinge pin and move it to the insert position. Using your index finger, carefully bend the bracket arm to allow the pin to be inserted.
Remove 2 screws and then disconnect wires to the bulb sockets. Reconnect the wires Reinstalled lamp case , tab end first then replaced the 2 screws and the Lens cover. In addition, I changed out the incandescent bulbs to a much cooler LED bulb.
Low water pressure which in turn led to no water and no ice.
Unplugged fridge, shut off water supply disconnected water supply from fridge. Remove screws that hold lower cover on back of fridge, removed screws holding valve assembly to fridge. Disconnect two electrical connections, remove black c-clip on out flow water line, lift fitting on outflow line side and pull water line off. Replace with valve assembly in reverse order
