DFSS9VKBASS Refrigerator - Instructions

Called someone else. Got the parts elsewhere.
Got the fridge back online 3 week longer than it should.
got charged for the part then failed to send it.
then finally allowed they didn't have the part in stock.

Hardest part of repair was getting frig. away from cabinets to unplug it.
Turn off water to ice maker.
Phillips's screwdriver to take off the cover of the electrical connection to
the icemaker tip it outward. I used flat head screwdriver to help disconnect the connection.
Also, to help getting the old icemaker removed. Once removed returned New one the reverse of taking it out. Won't need screwdriver to get it back in place. Put cover back in place and put the Phillips screw back in place. Plug refrig. back in. put it back in place turn the water back on should be good to go! BE afew hrs. before ice starts to show up!
Good Luck

Took out the old piece. Washed and replaced with the new one.

Moved stuff out of my way on the top shelf, reached in and turned old filter to remove. Filled new filter with water, lined up and turned to lock in place. Whew, never thought I would get that job done. :-)

I removed the old spring along with the sleeve and inserted the new one in its place. used a small screw driver to remove the sleeve and inserted the sleeve side in first. took 5 minutes..

After purchasing the spring I realized the hinge was the culprit. It has the retainer for the spring as part of it, a small plastic piece that broke off cause the spring to get lost. The hinge replacement was a little more in depth but the video on the hinge is very good and on point.

Placed one end of the new spring in left hole and used the needle nose pliers to insert the other end of the spring in the right hole.

Spent a dollar 1.97 on the spring.7.00 on shipping and fixed it in less than 5 minutes.Fantastic

Placed lower spring leg in hole first. Manipulated upper spring leg into upper hole with needle nose pliers.

Changed out the piece

Held spring with needle nose pliers and slipped into place

Water flow restrictions. Replaced flow valve. No help. Checked again and found filter head flow stopping valve broken. Replaced same. All good.

Took the old filter out and put the new one in.
Easy Breezy!!

TOOLS NEEDED ARE A #2 PHILLIPS, A FLAT TIP SCREWDRIVER AND SOAP AND WATER FOR CLEANING OF THE VEGETABLE PAN COVER.

1. REMOVE BOTH VEGETABLE PANS.
2. REMOVE THE VEGETABLE PAN COVER BY SLIDING IT FORWARD ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO LIFT IT UP AND OUT.
3. USING THE PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER REMOVE THE 2 SCREWS HOLDING THE RAIL TO THE CASE.
4. IF THE REAR PART OF THE RAIL IS BROKED OFF AND STILL IN THE WALL OF THE FRIDGE (LIKE MINE WAS) REMOVE IT WITH THE FLAT TIP SCREWDRIVER BY PRYING IT OUT OF THE SQUARE HOLE . USE SOME PRESSURE IF NEEDED.
5. INSERT THE REAR PART OF THE RAIL (LOOKS LIKE A LANCE) AND PUSH IT IN ALL THE WAY TILL IT STOPS.
6. THE PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER ANCHOR THE RAIL TO THE WALL OF THE FRIDGE FIRMLY, NOT TOO TIGHT.
7. USING THE SOAP AND WATER, CLEAN INSIDE OF THE FRIDGE AND ALL PARTS REMOVED.
8. LAY THE VEGETABLE PAN COVER ON TOP OF THE RAILS AND SLIDE IT BACK TO LOCK IN PLACE.
9. INSTALL THE VEGETABLE PANS.
10. WORKED FINE, LOOKS FINE AND LASTS A LONG TIME.
