shaft was slipping, not delivering ice
removed the 2 small screws holding the shaft in place. shaft was worn down on end, causing slippage. ordered new shaft, which arrived in a few days (I've always had good experience with parts select). in the meantime, I read some other repair stories, and one gentleman said he flipped the shaft over and reinstalled it. I did this, replaced the 2 screws, and sure enough it is working perfectly, and I have a spare shaft in case it doesn't last.

drive shaft for ice maker rounded edges
removed the drive shaft (6 sided) with seals and replaced it. They last for about 5 years and have to be rotated (flipped over) to continue to use. The shaft metal is a little softer than the drive socket on the motor which, over time will cause the six-sided (12 inch) shaft to round the edges due to torque and pressure on the mixing shaft inside the ice bucket the the door of the freezer.

Ice would not dispense and the water filter cap was missing
Remove two screws on shaft cap. Remove cap. Remove shaft and white o ring. Put o ring on new shaft and install. Replace cap and two screws. The cap for the water filter was harder. Without a cap, it took me a few minutes to wiggle the filter out enough that I could put the new cap on. Both parts worked perfectly. Both are horribly designed and will likely need to be replaced again.

Ice Maker Bucket would not rotate arm to dispense ice
This was a very easy repair. First, remove the Ice Bucket off the refrig door. Unfasten the white plastic shaft holder held in place by 2 hex head screws using a nut driver. Remove old shaft and insert the new shaft. Fasten back up with the holder and 2 hex head screws and install the ice bucket and you are ready to dispense ice again.

External Ice dispenser not dispensing ice
Removed ice bucket-removed 2 screws holding the casing at the top of shaft-replaced with new shaft-screws would not go back in. Used vacuum to suction out any particles. Dipped bottom of shafted in scolding hot water, put the shaft back in, put screws back in, works like a charm.
