Removed 4 Stainless steel screw holding mounting assembly containing ice maker and motor. Unplug large plug from refrigerator inside wall and removed assembly. Closed refrigerator and lay asembly on flat surface. Removed ice maker plug from wire harness. Unscrewed ice maker mounting screws from mounting assembly. Reversed process to install new icemaker. Be sure to turn ice maker plug assembly to fit in holder on back of assembly and tape back in mounting assembly so assembly wil go all the way back in the door without forcing. If done properly, the ice bucket will slide in easily and the door to ice maker compartment will close easily without any problems.

Simply used a flat head screwdriver to get the first few inches of the gasket out of its track and after that just pulled it by hand. New gasket slipped over the door, lined up the corner and pressed into in the track. Checked to see that it was snug all over and we were done. 5 minutes at the very most. Never would have noticed this. Took all the bins out of the freezer to give it a good cleaning and noticed the torn piece hanging. Our refrigerator runs much less often. Expect to see a difference in our electric bill!

Changed door switch. Repair worked for a few days but re-occured. Possibly the other switch is bad .
