Ice-maker and water dispenser not working.
First I disconnected the power cord, then removed the screws that held the bracket that holds the base for the water-filer in place. I then disconnected the water lines(intake and outflow). Next I removed the screws that held the water-filter's base in place. I then disconnected the release lock mechanism for the filter and finally removed the water-filter base. I did the reverse to install the new water-filter base. Previously I had tested the intake water line and noticed the water was flowing with enough pressure upto the water-filter's base but no water was exiting thru the outflow line, which leads to the Ice-Maker and Dispenser. I had tried changing the filter but that didn't solve the problem it was then I had realized that the Base was the problem. The actual problem was the spring-loaded valves for both the intake and outflow lines, which had a plastic prong that protrudes out of the base that is triggered by the filter when installed. The two prongs were worn-down so the filter wasn't activating the spring-loaded release valve to let the water thru. As for the light, I just unscrewed it.

Housing assembly froze and split causing leakage; original support studs broke
Filter housing assembly removes easily. Two screws removed prior to removing water connections. Replace water connections prior to screwing new assembly into place. Original support studes were old and shattered - easy to remove (careful not to crack the side wall of the fridge when trying to remove). Ensure pin is removed from new support studs prior to installing on side. Once in place, insert pins flush to ensure studs in place.
