We have a side-by-side and the tutorial was different than what we have. Had trouble getting cover off, but finally repaired and WE HAVE ICE! Also took longer than expected.

After checking all connections I determined the ice maker which had been replaced on 01/2007 stopped making ice. I had serviceman from a local company return and check the ice maker. He rinsed the ice maker under warm water, melting the ice build-up and re-installed the ice maker. I watched him do the re-installation, then waited for two

days to see if the ice maker was functioning. Since the ice maker wasn't working, I called the serviceman, who in turn informed me that the replacement ice maker had increased in price from $170.00 to $274.00. That is when I contacted your web site, ordered the replacement ice maker.
I was totally amazed and pleased by the fast,
easy, and efficient way my order was processed and the ice maker was delivered.
I followed the instructions included with the ice maker, and installed the replacement ice maker in about 20 minutes. I can't thank you enough for the great service. I only wish I had checked my computer after the first ice maker broke down and found your web site.

Easy removal. Easy Plug and play install. Didn't even have to use the other wires. After install, put 4 oz of water into ice maker and wait....it didn't start making ice right away, but a couple hours later I heard the wonderful "ice dropping into the bin" sound. Worked great ever since.

- Very Easy
- Less than 15 mins
The repair didn't get done, because both times that I requested a 25-Watt Light Bulb, I received a 3.6 Watt bulb instead & neither one worked. So I tried testing the original bulb in a table lamp & it worked. So I sense that the problem may be in the switch that allows the light to turn on when the drawer is opened & shut off when the d

Leaky Inlet Valve and Ice Maker failing to make Ice

Pliers, Screw drivers, Socket set
1). Pull Frig away from wall,
2). Unplug Frig
3). Turn off water feed
4). Remove cardboard dust shield on lower back
of frig (1/4" screws. I used socket)
5.) Valve visible attached with two1/4" screws to
Frig frame. (Remove two screws)Tip it is a good idea to hand tighten the two srews back ... Read more into their original holes. This marks their placement for mounting the NEW valve later.
6.) Inlet Valve has three water lines attached to it
and two electrical clip-on wires.
7.) Stop work and take a picture of the Valve,
which clearly shows color coded clip-on wires
and hose connection ports.
8.) Take a break and study the photo next to
the NEW valve in order to insure an OEM
match.
9.). Note: Lines push directly into ports and then you need to pull them toward you, as though you were pulling them back out of the port. This will seat and seal the water lines with a tight fit.
Tip: Cut the old line about 2-3 inches away from the old valve and check that your cut is clean, before putting it in the portal of the replacement valve. Note: You only get it right the first time, so double check your cut is square with clean edges.
Look at the lines pointed straight at you to insure the plastic hose is still round. If it is oval or slightly creased at the edges, cut the hose with a razor blade or very sharp knife until it looks good and shove in fully, until it hits bottom, inside the NEW valve. Give a firm short pull and you will feel the hose seat almost immediately.
10.) Repeat the process with all three hoses
and take another short break. Look at your
photo to guide your color matching with the
Clip-on electrical connectors.
11.) Now remove the Clip-on electrical
connectors one at a time and place on the
NEW valve.
12.) Turn on the water feed line and check for
leaks. If NO leaking is detected, congratulate
yourself, and use two 1/4" screws to mount
the NEW valve to the frig frame. The two
screws you left hand tight in the frame, show
the way.
13.). Plug in the Frig. let everything settle in for 10
minutes, while you have a break for a small
bite/drink, use the bathroom, etc.
14.) Okay time to push the frig back against the
wall. Do you want to place the old dust
shield on the back of the frig? If you are
unsatisfied with the condition of the old one,
you might consider replacing it.
15.) My wife is good at crafts, so she chose to
use the old one as a template and made a
new cover out of material she had to buy.
16.). I should tell you that I had to do this job twice, because I bought a cheap valve online that looked exactly like what I needed. It failed to work with the ice maker and after three months, it started to leak. Once again I learned "you get what you pay for."
I hope this helps one or two people get it right on their first attempt.
Good Luck, Larry
