Stead flow of water from under the refrigerator
Unplugged and disconnected the water supply.Disconnected the water line coming from the filter and cut about 1/8 inch off to square it off.
Unscrewed panel to expose inlet valve. With a marker I noted where the lines need to go back to. Disconnected the other two lines and made fresh straight cuts with a utility knife. Disconnected both plugs from the old inlet. The yellow one was difficult to get off, so I carefuly used a screw driver. Be careful, you don't want to break the plug. Reinstalled the new inlet. make sure that you push all of the lines in the valve so that they are completely seated. Make electrical connections. Secure valve to the panel. The water line from the filter should be the last line that you connect. Put screws back in the panel.
Plug in and turn on water supply. Fill up a gallon container from water dispenser. Check for leaks. Let the ice machine fill up. Check for leaks. Place back panel back on and secure. GOOD LUCK!

Difficulty removing old switch.
Everything went as planned except the cold temperature (freezer door switch located inside freezer) made deflection of the switch locking tab difficult to remove. Letting the switch warm up was not an option.

the trim does not last and it gets broken putting casserole dishes into the frig.
I simply loosened the old trim and then cleaned the entire surface and then installed the new trim. Looks great,

Light rocker switch broke and refrigerator light couldn't go on.
I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

No water getting to Ice Maker
Cleaned all lines running to water control valve and ice maker. Replaced water control valve still no water to Ice Maker. Replaced Ice Maker as tec. support suggested. Still no water to Ice Maker talked again to tec. support they didn't know what to do? After I spent 200.00 dollars in parts and shipping. NOW I still have get a repairman out fix the problem. The program is helpful but I don't see why you don't have someone to talk to about the problem that knows what they are talking about. It may be a defective waters inlet valve that you sent. The Ice maker does work if it had water. I ran a test with the jumper wire as suggested.

Ice maker broken. Quick fix
The plastic fill cup part is also used to hold one end of the wire “one/off” switch that is manually activated or activated when the ice tray is full. This wire piece fell out because one end, that is part of the plastic fill cup, broke off. The wire switch was fine.
The video demos show you exactly what to do. The repair man showed me a trick to speed up the testing process. The trick is to insert a wire jumper cable to actuate the ice maker and make it rotate. But this isn’t necessary.
Hardest part of this fix is emptying the freezer (bottom with a slide out door) and removing the door.
Why this part is so expensive is beyond me. But I’m happy it was available for a 24yo fridge that still works!!

I needed a larger ice pan for the freezer.
I took out the old one and put in the new one. For some reason the repair story associated with the ice bucket had nothing to do with ice buckets.

The center rail that the 2 crisper drawers ride on broke
I did exactly what the email I got said to do: remove the 2 crisper drawers, remove the glass directly above the crisper drawers, drop in the center rail. It worked just GREAT! Thanks a bunch!
