(Reuse this later) unplug 4 electrical prongs. Mark with colored pen if not already color coded, so can put back correctly. Pull old ice maker and ref water supply out of valve if it does not screw in with nut. Cut very short peice off end of ref water lines. Slide new locks on water supply lines and push into water valve very hard to lock. Cant get them wrong as they are different sizes. Plug in electrical connectors same as you unpluged them.

If none congrads, just saved yourself about $120. 00 Labor. Take 2 asprin, drink a six pack and go to bed.

I had to defrost large chunks of ice from the rear of the freezer compartment and tried reactivating the ice maker several times before deciding to order the replacement fill tube grommet and clamp. This was very stressful and complicated to accomplish while trying to avoid food spoilage, and consumed a lot of time. It involved removing the ice maker and various panels, plus disconnection of 2 electrical plugs, then using a hair dryer to melt ice build up. The installation of the new parts was quick and simple once they arrived in the mail, and this appears to have solved the leak problem. The fill tube slides easily into the grommet and the clamp, tightened with a screw driver, secures the water feed line on the other end. Fill tube must be carefully threaded through rear panels and into the ice maker receptacle and the grommet needs to be pushed hard and wiggled in order to seat properly in the rear surface of the refrigerator.

Popped off the front frame and front of mother board. unscrewed the assembly to be able to lift up to get to flapper. Lifted it up out of the the way ( wires are attached so it may take one other person to hold it up out of the way). Pop out the old flapper and replace with new one. Easy !

Repair went exactly like the video. With this video it was easy to make the repair. There were no surprises or problems and I felt confident in the videos instructions. It was like pushing the easy button.

Did the repair jut like the instructions on the web site stated. There was a good video for doing this repair. Looked at it a couple of times and did the repair right off the bat. Thanks folks.
