YouTube the video on how to replace the ice maker. Unplugged the fridge, one screw was removed to open a small cover panel to access where the ice maker was plugged in, unplugged the ice maker, pushed a small locking clip and pulled the old ice maker off the keyhole slots holding it in place removing it from the fridge. Did the steps in reverse and reinstalled the new one. Plugged the fridge back in and reset the fridge by holding the energy saver and alarm button on the front door simultaneously for 8-10 seconds until it beeped. Took a few seconds and the fridge reset

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.

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.

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.

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..

Took out Philip’s screw. Applied heat from hand hair dryer for one minute. Unplugged wire plug. Pushed ice maker lever to release and gently pulled forward.Removed old ice maker and replaced with a new maker.

The website offered next day delivery on the 2 parts I needed. It was $30 dollars for next day but I wanted it fixed so I chose it. After a few days I revived no parts. I checked the website and saw the 2 parts were on back order, however they took my payment along with the $30 for next day delivery. Obviously I never got it next, or ever, so I cancelled the order. At least I got my money back.

I am 70 and identified the problem and ordered the part. I watched a video lots of times that showed how to... slowing it down to catch details.
It is very easy... and the only problem was that when you are trying to get the assembly out you need a lot of hand strenght that I don't have.
My son easily wriggled and loosened it and out it came. Plug in the wires and pop the new unit in.
Two hours later I heard the delightful sound of ice dropping into the bucket and amazingly the bottom freezer started making ice too!
There is no mention that they are related but it did. We thought the freezer sensor had died but it all works!

You can do it! Best, pb
