I did not do the repair yet, there is no schematic on how to route the hose; also no description of how to do the routing/connections.

Removed two screws on original ice bucket auger front panel-removed old ice auger assembly from old ice bucket and installed new auger assembly in new ice basket.Replaced ice auger/bucket front panel with the two screws and we now have a working ice dispensing unit and uncracked ice bucket

More than anything else the service that has been provided here is second to none. In the futher if parts are needed I'll stop by and see you again.

The hardest part was getting the unit out of the refrigerator because the split caused it to drop down when it filled with ice while we were on vacation. After the ice I had to give the bucket a firm jerk to remove it. Then it was just a matter of replacing the old bucket with the new one using a phillips screw driver.

Removed the top hinge cover with Philips screwdriver. Removed the three bolts holding the top hinge in place. Removed the top hinge, and lifted the door off the remains of the lower hinge. Unbolted the remnants of the lower hinge closure mechanism and replaced it with the new set. Reassembled the door on the lower hinge, and then replaced and bolted back on the top hinge. Door back to full working order in less than fifteen minutes.

Removed old agitator unit - 4 nut-head screws removed, and installed new agitator and screws aligned easily.

Pried out old part with screwdriver. Unplugged. When new part came, just plugged it in and pushed the part into place.

I was thrilled to find this part. Just took out the deli drawer shelf, removed the old broken frame, and installed the new frame onto the shelf with the old screws (glad I kept them). If I hadn't found this part I would have had to give up the handy and much-used deli drawer. Thank you!

use kitchen knife to pry out. replaced switch assemble and pressed back into place. Could not have done this with out help from previous customers. Thanks

Removed Ice carrier and diassembled the Ice carrier with a socket set. Four screws, cap came right off. Placed the new one on and finished.

I removed the ice tray from the freeze. Turn over and remove screws holding the face plate on. Remove the 4 screws holding the crushing mechanism in place. Pull the entire mechanism out and remove the nut holding the blades together. Remember the alignment of the blades. Remove blades and then the pastic crush wheel. Replace in reverse order. Very easy.

I simply went to PartSelect and ordered a new kick-plate from the illustrated parts catalog. A few days later it arrived via FedEx and was easily installed within about five minutes. The clips that hold the part to the front of the refrigerator, push on over plastic tabs on the back of the kick-plate. They were packaged separately and at first were very tight and uncooperative. I placed a small socket over the end of the tab and gently tapped each clip it into place with a small hammer. One word of caution, the metal clips are very sharp. It was only after I finished the installation did I notice that I had apparently cut my index finger during the process. Nothing serious, but probably avoidable had I been more aware of the sharp edges.

The repair went very easy. It would have been easier except for the arthritis in my hands. The arthritis made it time consuming because I had to wait between times for my hands to stop hurting. Without the arthritis, I would have completed the job in less time. First I loosened all the screws that held the gasket in place, removed the old gasket and followed the instructions in placing the new gasket and then I tightened all of the screws.

First I pulled the fridge out from the wall and turned off the water supply. Next I removed the access panel on the bottom front of the fridge. Located behind the panel was the water supply line for the water dispenser in the door which has a disconnect the I simply unscrewed so that I would be able to lift the door off of the bottom hinge. Next I took one screw out of the top hinge cover to access three small bolts and disconnect the electrical connections to the door. After removing the bolts I lifted the door off and took out the small screw holding in the bottom cam and replaced with the new one. After reinstalling door I removed all the small bolts holding on the freezer gasket. After this the gasket easily pulls out and began installing the new gasket. This part of the job was the most time consuming. After I had the gasket back behind the pinch rail I began reinstalling the bolts. Since the gasket was bent during shipping I simply took a hair dryer to the slightly bent parts of the gasket to get them to lay flat. Freezer now has a great seal and stays closed when refrigerator door is being shut.

Removed the broken grille kickplate. (Just pulls right off) Tried to put the new clips on the new grill kickplate. Didn't want to go on without alot of force. Didn't want to crack the new part. So...I heated up the metal clips and placed them (used pliers-too hot to handle) on the place that held the clips and they slid right on and believe me...they won't come off either. Put the grille kickplate on the bottom section of the refrigerator and snapped right on.
Everything looks good.
