1. Punched the little circle bolt at the top of the drawer support all the way through the refrigerator wall using a hammer and awl. Removed the remainder of the old drawer support. 2. Previous two small alignment prongs were stuck into the alignment holes, so I had to snap off the alignment prongs on the new drawer supports with pliers to make the supports fit flush with the fridge wall. 3. Stuck new drawer supports into holes in the fridge wall and hammered in circle bolts with hammer.

May need someone to hold a flashlight on area during repair. The bottom ridged-tray does pull out easily, exposing three Phillip-head screws. Remove them. Lift the face plate up slightly and pull out to expose the wiring harness behind it near the top. Push the small clip that holds the white plug together and pull to separate. Set faceplate aside. Find and remove three more Phillip-head screws, one in top middle and two on the sides. Pull the unit forward enough to see the two Phillip screws that hold the metal pieces over the rotating arms of the broken lever. Cannot pull this unit out too far as the water hose from refrigerator restricts movement. Use needle nose pliers to reposition/release the spring clip that rests against the lever. No need to remove the entire spring. Remove the two screws. They are short, so be careful not to drop them or the metal pieces they hold down. Use needle nose pliers to retrieve them if dropped. Lift the broken lever up to disengage its rotating arms from grooves. Remove the broken lever by pulling up or pushing down, depending on where it is broken. Take new lever and insert from the bottom and insert both arms in grooves. Re-insert the two screws and metal pieces (large piece on the left). Place spring clip on arm of new lever. Screw the unit back with three screws. Re-connect the white plug of the faceplate. Reinsert the faceplate on refrigerator by aligning holes with hook-prongs and push in and down to lock in. Add the three screws at bottom to secure. Reinsert the bottom and push in to lock. Check lever operation.

Taking it apart is sort of common sense, however putting it back together can be made a lot easier using todays technology of . Digital photography. Take pictures at each stage of disassembly and reassembly be comes very easy and you may only have to do it once instead of multiple times.
