Ice maker would not stop making ice.
I viewed the video that was provided on partselect.com. The video was very instrumental in the removal and installation of the ice maker. I removed the old ice maker and installed the new ice marker, turn the water valve back on and had ice within 24 hours. When I reconnected the electrics and turned the water supply back on to the ice maker I thought it would fill with water right away, but it didn't. So I determined that the ice maker needed to run though a cycle, which took several hours, before it actually started making ice. With the video I was able to change the ice maker in less than a half an hour.

Ice won't release from the mold
Lossen two screws at the top and remove one at the bottom and lift the unit off of the top screws, unplug the old unit and after cutting out the tray for the water fill spout plug the new one in. No problem .................

Replace Leaky Ice maker
Removing the hex screws from the existing unit was trouble until I found the screwdriver attachment to the hex wrench. The MOLEX type power connector was an exact match for what was on the unit, so the conversion cables were not needed. Unit worked fine. No more leaks.

Ice maker died
I took out the bottom locking screw and loosened the top two screws. I took the old icemaker out. I disconnected the wiring harness at the ice maker. I attached the new icemaker and mounted it in place. I didn't have to use any of the included wiring harnesses since the old one worked fine. I did use the old wire bale. I'm fairly ungifted in fixing things so I was amazed at how easy and inexpensive this was. The icemaker started up right away. The whole thing probably cost less that just the service call minimum would have been.

Water leaking out of Icemaker
I undid two top screws and one bottom screw. The tools came out of my cheapo walmart tool kit. I disconnected the power connector. I then put the new Icemaker in and waited for ICE. 12 hours later still no ice. I contacted Parts Select and before I knew it an new Icemaker was ordered and delivered to my doorstep. I received several emails to confirm the refund and re-billing of icemaker. I was absolutly astonished by how well they responded. I figured weeks after the first replacement came in DOA but two days later I had Ice and all was well.

Icemaker quit working
I removed the 3 screws that held the unit in place and disconnected the power supply from the front part of the icemaker. I then assembled the replacement icemaker and plugged it in to power supply. I then mounted it with the 3 screws that it required. (Tip): Note the top 2 screws do not need to be totally removed just loosen them enough to remove icemaker. I then cycled the iemaker shutoff arm several times and within 45 minutes I had my first ice cubes
