The Water bucket had a crack
I thought the water bucket wasn't holding water because the icemaker continually was running - however, the crack didn't go through. The real issue was the Thermostat.
You've got to be able to sit or kneel and fit both arms in the unit for a while, so if you've got patience and ability, you can do it. If you have a battery operated screw driver with a nut and 6 star nut remover, this goes quicker.
Do not throw your old plug away, it doesn't come with a new one.
The hard part was getting the black thing (that attaches to the icebucket) back on. I had to go to Lowes and get a gasket and silicone grease to replace the one on it. I thought this was the reason it wouldn't go back on, because the gasket wouldn't fully fit back into the white hole.
I measured the diameter of that hole compared to the old one. It was slightly smaller and was not as smooth as my old one (it had manufacturing form lines and excess plastic that hadn't been removed)
I Dremeled it to increase the diameter, especially where the gasket was buckling out when trying to fit it on.
I finally got the black part back on.
I found later that it was cheaper somewhere else, however shipping charges are less and most parts are next day delivery.
I just ordered the thermostat. Wish me luck!

Motor sounded like a small little airplane under my fridge, very loud.
Unplugged the fridge first then took the bottom panel off with a 1/4 inch nut driver. Disconnected the wiring & used my ratchet to reach the 3 screws that held the motor. Took me longer to clean the bottom of the fridge then the installation.

Replacing Condenser Fan
I was anticipating that the fan would be facing the back of the refrigerator. It actually was perpendicular to the back. There was some difficulty removing the bolts of the fan. I persevered and was victorious.

One of the circulation pumps was going bad and making a loud noise.
I replaced the two pumps, since both were the same design...figuring if one went bad then the other would soon go bad...and then I also replace the water level sensor. All had quick connect plugs. The time is just taking apart the various pieces, cleaning, installing the new pumps and sensor, then reassembling.

condenser fan motor worn out and making noise.
Instructions were really clear and easy to follow. Hardest part of the job was moving the refrigerator away from wall after it was filled with holiday groceries.

Light switch inoperative
Remove inside door trim plate. Then removed three screws that held in the light assembly. The only difficult thing was reconnecting the temperature adjustment rod. After replacing this rod you must slide the temperature control slide to midway and this hold the rod in place while reinstalling the light assembly. If I were to do it again it would probably take me half as long.

No problem
The repair went just fine. Your instruction regarding using the wiring harness were clear. Most of all I am happy to not have to listen to a noisy motor all night.

Condenser fan made loud noise.
Watched the video that was attached to my order confirmation (great idea) and just followed it step by step. Real easy repair since I had tried to fix the noise first without ordering parts, so I knew what I was doing Did a temporary fix which quieted it down while I waited for the parts and then the repair itself was pretty straight forward.
