install icemaker water was allways delivered to previous unit water is not being delivered to icemaker still having difficulty

Pulled off fountain face plate. Removed four screws holding the plate in front of solenoid. Disconnected solenoid wires away from electronic board. Removed three screws holding solenoid arm.

I ordered a new solenoid. i took the old one out and put the new one in-- done-- and it works!

Videos for installing the part is really very helpfull.It takes replacing arround less than 30 min. Thanks....

Took about fifteen mins. to remove the three screws and slip out the solenoid and replace it. Only one electrical connection. Super easy to do. Unfortunately this did nothing to solve the problem. I still have no water. Nor did replacing the switch or the water valve solve the problem. I guess I'm done.

The ice and water dispenser seemed to be not working because of some sort of power failure because the lights would dim when the dispenser was activated. Also it got to the point that a continuous clicking noise would come on when the fan kicked on. I took the casing off the back of the frig and examined the computer board only to find the clicking noise coming from a component toward the bottom of the board with what looked like a switch on it. Which made sense, so I came on here and read other reviews, ordered this part, it came in a few days, I replaced it with ease, and everything started working again. If you've ever worked with any type of computer board or components this will be a breeze, if not, it'll take a little more figuring out, but still easy. Ask a friends who's comfortable around computer boards to come over and do it before you call a repair guy.

The ice maker tray was removed and the e-clip was removed from the end of the auger shaft,I then released the snap clip retainers and removed al the screws to romove the end of the Ice crusher section on the box.(It is a good idea to run this whole unit under hot water as the plastic could crack if to much force is applied during dissasembly. Plastic can be brittle when very cold). The shaft (auger)was extracted and the plastic retainer nut removed with a channel lock plier. Careful as it has a left hand thread. I was then able to remove the crusher blades and bushings from the end of the auger shaft and reassembled the parts on the new shaft. Refer to the parts catolog blowup view page on the website for proper installation of these parts if you get them mixed up. It is of great help. I then reassembled the auger back into the box and reassembled the other parts and screws to finish assembly. Popped it back into the frezzer and it works perfect. Tools required were nothing more than a thick kitchen towel to hold the Auger down and a flathead screwdriver for the e-clip retainer. A channel lock plier to take of the end nut as it has no flats for a wrench and a phillips screw driver for a couple of screws. Total time was about 20 minutes. I probably saved about $100.00 in doing this myself. Thanks again to PartSelect for getting my paet to me in a couple days.

Removed the shelf from the fridge. Cleaned it, removed the broken stop, slid in the new one. Put the shelf back in the fridge. VOILA! 2 minutes.

diagnose problem would not come out of defrost cycle researched issue on line with model & serial # found issues with control board and boards were upgraded purchased new board installed in 15 minutes and been working fine

Repair is fairly simple you do need to know that nut at end of auger is left hand thread and ice crusher assembly only goes together one way. So pay attention suring disassembly

After I googled the problem, I came across parts select.The video instruction by Steve is great and it gave me the confidence to try to DIY. I ordered the parts (Defrost thermostat and heater) and they came in 2 days. I melted the frost buildup with hair dryer, then take the back panel off, exposing the coils completely frozen up. After melting the ice off the thermostat, I found that the thermostat top has seperated from the bottom base and needs replacement. I removed the thermostat, cut the 2 wires, then connected the new parts to the two wires (color coded) with wire nuts I bought from Homedepot (with silicon). The space was tight in the freezer and it was difficult to work around. I replaced the heater just because I could get to it very easily. Overall, it was a job with mid level difficult because you have to be an electric-proficient person.

open the freezer side remove the racks and at the back removed the two 5/16 bolts at top of panel defrost the cooling tubes with hair dryer on the top tube is the defrost themostat cut the orange wire about two inches from themostat cut the blue wire same distance installed the new themostat with twist on wire conectors tape up so it would stay dry. at the bottom of cooling tubes is the defrost heater removed the two 5/16 bolts unpluged the heater and replaced with new unit pluged in the two wires and put back together works fine maybe 30 mins very easy...

replaced the auger

First of all, you must watch the video on the partselect.com site. The video helps a lot. Then, you can start disconnecting the power cable; unscrew the cover of the main control board. Disconnected the connections from the old board. Unplug the board with a help of a small plier. Installed the new board, connect all connections back. Put the cover back. Connect back the power cable. Unit is running as a brand new.

This is the 5th defrost heater element I've had to install into this unit. I've had nothing but problems with this fridge. 1st defrost unit failed after 2 years, no warranty, and the repair guy quoted me at $600.00. Thats when I took it upon myself to fix it on my own. The repair is easy, disconnect the power, remove the service panel in the freezer, use a hair dryer to defrost the ice from the coils, remove the old heater, install the new one. 2 screws 2 clip on wires. Very easy repair. The video on Part select website is great....WATCH IT before doing this repair!
