no ice
instructions were very simple. Took about 10 minutes to replace the unit. Do NOT get excited about immediate ice because it took mine awhile to g et cranked up for full production. Anyone can do this! Saves about $150.00 in labor to have someone(no smarter than you) do it for you.

broken crisper drawer support
1. Punched the little circle bolt at the top of the drawer support all the way through the refrigerator wall using a hammer and awl. Removed the remainder of the old drawer support. 2. Previous two small alignment prongs were stuck into the alignment holes, so I had to snap off the alignment prongs on the new drawer supports with pliers to make the supports fit flush with the fridge wall. 3. Stuck new drawer supports into holes in the fridge wall and hammered in circle bolts with hammer.

Replacing the level that dispenses water.
May need someone to hold a flashlight on area during repair. The bottom ridged-tray does pull out easily, exposing three Phillip-head screws. Remove them. Lift the face plate up slightly and pull out to expose the wiring harness behind it near the top. Push the small clip that holds the white plug together and pull to separate. Set faceplate aside. Find and remove three more Phillip-head screws, one in top middle and two on the sides. Pull the unit forward enough to see the two Phillip screws that hold the metal pieces over the rotating arms of the broken lever. Cannot pull this unit out too far as the water hose from refrigerator restricts movement. Use needle nose pliers to reposition/release the spring clip that rests against the lever. No need to remove the entire spring. Remove the two screws. They are short, so be careful not to drop them or the metal pieces they hold down. Use needle nose pliers to retrieve them if dropped. Lift the broken lever up to disengage its rotating arms from grooves. Remove the broken lever by pulling up or pushing down, depending on where it is broken. Take new lever and insert from the bottom and insert both arms in grooves. Re-insert the two screws and metal pieces (large piece on the left). Place spring clip on arm of new lever. Screw the unit back with three screws. Re-connect the white plug of the faceplate. Reinsert the faceplate on refrigerator by aligning holes with hook-prongs and push in and down to lock in. Add the three screws at bottom to secure. Reinsert the bottom and push in to lock. Check lever operation.

Frige and freezer not cooling
I should have ordered start kit instead of start capacitor. The start cap astir did not fix problem so I ordered kit. Compasator comes as part of kit. Followed enclosed instructions. Cut existing wires and reconnected new wiring. Simple as that. It's a plug in item. Now worried it may be working to good. Freezer down to 10 deg. Watching to see if compressor is running to long. Seems ok lol. Wife hates me now. She wanted new frige.
