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!

Ice cutting grid wire broke into.
Removed broke wire and replaced new wire. Use gloves to pull the wire tight. That's very important.

Top cutter wire broke and unit no longer dropping ice into bin
I took out old grid and removed the top broken wire. I attached the end of new wire to the terminal screw and carefully threaded the new wire back and forth without kinks. I was not able to get wire as tight as it was originally, but able to get it tight enough with pliers. I attached the other end to the opposite terminal screw. I had plenty of wire for the job and cut off the excess. I re-installed the grid and had ice the following morning. Feeling good about myself and saved a lot of money.

Replace the ice cutter grid.
The real difficulty is removing the screws. Even with a nut driver the space available makes them difficult to remove. I went to the hardware store and replaced the screws with screwdriver slots for re-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.

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.

Refrigerator was very noisy. Investigation revealed that the condensor fan motor was going bad.
First let me say that the instructional video on your website for this repair was very informative. My son and I watched that before we began the repair. We unplugged the unit first. After removing the back cover, he unplugged the old fan's electrical connection, and then proceeded to remove the fan and bracket from the unit. We then removed the old fan from the bracket, installed the new one and then he reinstalled the new fan and bracket back into the unit. He used the included electric adaptor cable to complete the electrical connection, plugged in the refrigerator briefly to confirm all was well (it was), then replaced the back cover and we were done.

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.
