I removed the old water valve, disconnected the water tube going in and tube going out to the back of the refrigerator. New water valve bracket different than the previous one which resulted in my having to modify it to fit. Not an easy task as it was preformed metal. Once hooked up, water turned on, and ice maker turned on, the sound ... Read more I'm getting now is clunking and not making ice. My debate is whether or not to purchase a new ice maker or revert to the tried and true method with ice trays which work every time.

Part Select had a great video which made the repair easy, using a putty knife to start removing the freeze door gasket. Once removed the install is simple just snap the new gasket into the track, but start at the corner. Other company's have a video requiring you to remove the entire freezer compartment out of the appliance, unnecessary w ... Read more aste of time and labor.

Some have said that the installation took 5 minutes. Mine took less than that, and I did it with one hand. I had a beer in my other hand.

Pull off the grill cover and remove the 2 screws from the old part and simply screw in the new part. Don’t lose the screws there are no new ones with the new part. Replace cover.

All I had to do was remove original Pullout Drawer that holds the ice cubes from the bottom ice machine. Replaced the old Pullout Drawer
with the new one. Original tray pulls out to it's stopping point and all I had to do was lift it up and pull it out. The New tray fit right in and I was done. Completed in less then 5 min. and No ... Read more tools needed.

I merely placed the new shelf in. Nothing to it. No tools needed. The replacement glass was a perfect fit.

Watched a couple of YouTube videos and then went at it

Un-wrapped the basket......Installed with NO tools......

Went on line to see how difficult it would be to replace the valve. Through Google there was a video which showed in exact detail how to remove and replace the valve. Then went on line to find the replacement part which was readily available. The only problem was that the connection on the valve where the fill water enters the valve was l ... Read more arger than the old valve. To fix that I went to a local Ace hardware store and found a nut that would fit the valve connection. Also don't forget to use a compression ring to keep the fill line secured when replaced.
Over all it was very simple and was in my "pay grade"

Very easy. Just slipped it back into place

It was more difficult than I expected, I even thought they sent me a wrong part. The glass shelf needs to slide into two cut-outs at the back end of the bin cover. It initially felt like it was impossible. But jut keep pushing gently at a very shallow angle and it will slide right in.

I started by emptying the food out of the refrigerator. Because of the placement of the refrigerator, it was hard for me to open the doors all the way, but I managed to remove the vegetable drawer, the fruit drawer, the deli drawer drawer, and glass that goes in the tray. Once that happened, I realized my refrigerator was a biology experi ... Read more ment in progress.
Using my steam cleaner, I cleaned everything that I could and the refrigerator actually looked almost brand new.
I removed the deli tray to have more room to get the whole tray and side guides . Once you do that. the tray is actually very easy to replace. The guides were still in pretty good condition although I ordered one more because it did have a small crack and eventually it will break.
You remove the three guides (left, right, and center) from the old tray and attach the new tray fram.
Sounds Easy, right?
It takes a bit of finagling because " the magic tray" which is part of the vegitable drawer has to be placed before you put the right guide on. this process is a bit awkward. if you can get an extra hand, it helps. After that, it was very easy to just put things back and I took this opportunity to clean the rest of my refrigerator and re-organize. I am going have to do this again because I have to replace the right guide, which has a crack, but so far it's working great it is not a problem. Nothing that a little duct tape can't solve until the real thing comes along. This project took longer than I thought it would. But that was primarily because I also cleaned the refrigerator, and put the right guide on before I figured out I had to put the humidifier cover in first. I think that's really the key step here.
I leave you with this: I researched how to find these parts and this site t was great. I can replace all of the hardware that breaks in my refrigerator for less than it costs to buy a new refrigerator. My friend felt I should just dump the refrigerator and start new. As other DIY people, that was like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. It's wasteful to the environment and economically unfeasible. So celebrate your project's end!
