Ice-maker tray wouldn't empty properly, so water spilled out of it and froze pieces of ice together, making a big glob of ice in the holding vessel for ice pieces.
Removed and replaced the old tray, which had lost its elasticity and wasn't emptying properly. This couldn't have been easier.
Several years ago, we had the same problem, so I called a repair service and paid a dude about $85 to diagnose the cause and correct it. This time, based on observing that prior repairman, I ordered the replacement part for about $25, from this outfit, and repaired the fridge in less time (including time online) than previously spent finding a repair service and dealing with it.

Water was leaking inside the refrigerator
I got the part. The water connectors were different from the factory model. I thought to myself this will never work and it's going to leak everywhere. I push the water lines into the new water tank and not one leak!!! I now know why it was different, different is a lot better!! Thanks for the great Part, at the cheapest price.

Could not get water from the door
After empting the shelves I unscrewed the water lines that go to and from the the water tank. I then unscrewed the three screws that holds the water tank to the back wall of the refrig. then unscrewed the two water lines located at the bottom of the water tank. I then installed the new water tank by screwing the water lines on to the new tank then screw the water tank back on to the back wall. Turned the water back on and it took a minute or two to bleed the air out of the water tank and water lines. It now works great

Ice cubes would not stop discharging
After going to manufacturer's web site and customer service phone, was unable to locate the correct switch in the dispenser area on the door. Your web site had the picture of the switch and it was right on and in stock. Shipping was quick and inexpensive. Repair went quick and all is well.

Fan was noisy - bearing had failed
It's self-explanatory. The procedure is obvious; it's just a little difficult. The only hard part is attaching the mounting brackets to the fan. If you can't tighten the mounting bolts, loosen them and reposition the brackets. You might end up mispositioning them at first, because they are hard to reach.

all 8/32 and holes should have been tapped
had to saw off the shaft to get the yoke off and tap the holes for the 8/32 screws. all holes should have been tapped by the factory. Other than these problems, everything else went pretty good.
