CustomerPENNY from WILMINGTON DE
Very loud solenoid
removed the panel to get to icemaker(4 screws), then removed the plug, then removed worn solenoid and replaced with
new one. Had to jiggle old solenoid to get out,
but not with much effort. Everything went back
into place effortlessly

Ice and water dispenser would not work
Removed 4 screws and disconnect the circuit board, replaced the broken door and reassembled the unit. Solenoid did not need to be replaced, only the ice door. About 15 minutes and about 90$ saved in labor.

Ice dispenser door broken
I removed the two screws from the front door panel, unhooked the wire, removed three more screws and removed the broken door. I replaced the door and replaced everything in reversed order. I did not need to replace the solenoid so I still have that if needed in the future, The instructions were so easy, it took less than 5 minutes and I estimate saving about $90.00 on a sevice call after deducting the cost of the part from PartSelect.
I will check out PartSelect for future repair jobs.
Thanks

Ice door broke and failed repeatedly
The Refrigerator had panels of wood, they had to be removed above the Ice maker face plate before it could be lifted off. There were several layers of Torx screws to be taken off., had to purchase that tool. Luckily they were all T-15 and I guessed right at the hardware store. The rest of the repair went pretty as indicated on the sheet provided.

Leaking icemaker and dispenser
First I removed the 4 Screws that held the dispenser in place and after removing it , it was a breeze to put back, just be sure to get the spring back in place and tight to hold the door in place. The icemaker was not much harder other than after removing the one screw and the end cap, it was a little difficult to get off the bracket , but managed to free it , other than that it was ok to remove and replace. All in all this went really easy , a lot better than I thought it would.

CustomerLinda from Brunswick GA
Door to ice dispenser was broken
First removed the grill from the fountain. Then removed the 2 screws, raised the escutcheon up and off the fountain assembly. Disconnected the power connection to the escutcheon and laid it aside. Removed the 3 screws holding the fountain assembly and disconnected the power supply from it. Removed the broken door pieces. Removed the 2 screws from the solenoid and replaced with new one and replaced the screws. The instructions said to rotate the spring counter clockwise 1/2 turn but I had to rotate it a full turn (to make the door tight when it closed) and insert the end of the spring in the opening of the fountain bracket. Insert the solenoid plunger into the recess of the door strike (the diagram in the instructions helped because this was the part that was broken and I could not figure out where it went). Then I installed everything back the way I had taken it apart.
I am a 61 year old woman and pretty good at taking things apart and putting it back together. My husband usually lets me fix things because I have more patience than him.
I would like to thank parts select for their packaging of the parts and the included diagram.

CustomerClay from Collierville TN
Ice/water dispenser wouldn't work
The repair was really simple - I followed the directions provided. I removed the screws holding the cover in place - unplugged the wiring harness - removed the solenoid and replaced with the new solenoid and door amd reassembled the parts. I wasn't sure if the solenoid was bad since the door was actually broken. I was able to test just using the new door - then replace the solenoid. It was all done in less than 30 minutes. Directions provided were GREAT.

CustomerRuss from Supply NC
Ice chute door did not open when pushing the actuator pad to dispense ice.
Unplugged refrigerator. Removed 3 screws holding unit in place. Carefully disconnected the wire from the control face plate. removed existing ice dispense door and spring, disconnected lead from solenoid which controls ice dispenser door opening and closing. Removed 2 screws holding solenoid in place. Removed old solenoid and replaced with new one. Installed new ice dispenser door and spring. Replaced old actuator pad with new one and reassembled.
Repair was easy but unfortunately did not fix the problem. Subsequent tests indicate no power getting to the solenoid so I think I have a circuit board problem --

CustomerGlenn from Vancouver WA
The ice maker only made crushed ice, because the door was not sealing.
First I removed the 5 torx head screws that held on the outside panel. Then I unplugged the 2 electrical connectors to the circuit boards, one goes to the touch pad the other is the power. Then I removed the assembly. I only needed the part that holds on the round door but I replaced all the parts that came in the kit.
With the directions that they sent me with the parts, and since I was the one that took it apart. I was able to fix it in about 20minutes and it worked great.

CustomerPeter from St. Augustine FL
Ice door dispensor broke
Followed the directions provided with the solenoid and door kit to replace solenoid, door and actuator. Replacing bracket was intuitive, just required transferring of parts from one to the other (miro-switch, cabling, light socket, and circuit board), and then installing the actuator pad on it.
