freezer section upper shelf slide assy broken, captive ball slides fell out
Remove frozen food and ice cubes to coolers so they stay frozen.
Remove shallow wire shelf.
Slide out both sides of slide assemblies. Defective slide unclip the front corner front frame remembering to remove the plastic retention rivet first. It has a centre pin that needs to be pulled out first. Support the rest of the frame on the bottom shelf/basket frame
There is one cap head square driver screw to remove on the wall of the freezer holding the slide in place. Leave the other two flat head screws alone. Slide the defective frame off the other two flat head screws. Take new part and attachment is the reverse of the disassembly you have just done. The front frame corner clip is a bit difficult to put together there is a top and bottom spring clip then the plastic "rivet" where you need to push in the centre pin to retain it in the joint. [a bit flimsy so be careful].
The shallow basket should be carefully placed on the front and side clips, and make sure everything is square. Then slide the shelf to make sure it goes into the freezer properly. Then you can re-load the food and ice cubes.

Previous seal had a tear and cold air was leaking around seal
Pulled the old seal out of the groove. Placed new seal in the groove. New seal has to be heated and massaged to get it into proper form so it does not leak. I have been continuously heating and massaging to get the seal to get it in the proper form. Been working on it for a week. Almost there.

THE GASKET LOCKING INSERT DID NOT FIT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR.
I REMOVED THE OLD GASKET BEING VERY CAREFUL TO SEE EXACTLY HOW IT CAME OFF. I INSERTED THE LOCKING INSERT INTO THE TRACK IN THE DOOR WHICH DID NOT FIT AS THE OLD ONE DID. AFTER USING TREMENDOUS FORCE WITH MULTIPLE TOOLS I DID MANAGE TO GET THE TOP AND THE SIDES TO LOCK INTO PLACE AND EVENTUALLY HOLD. THE BOTTOM OF THE GASKET DID NOT HOLD SO I USED CLEAR CAULK AND TAPE TO HOLD THE GASKET IN UNTIL THE CAULK CURED. AFTER THE CAULK CURED THE GASKET HAS, SO FAR, REMAINED TIGHT.

Easy peasy.
Easy repair. Great part. The hardest part was removing the fridge lower exterior door so I could get access to the icemaker. A couple of youtube videos later I realized loosen a screw, slide the icemaker out and unplug slide the new icemaker in and plug-in making sure the water spout was accurately over the water receptacle for the icemaker. Several hours later I was up to my eyeballs in beautiful clear ice cubes. Highly recommend.

Ice maker not making ice
Pulled unit away from wall and shut off water and unplugged unit. Installed water valve and reassembled, plugged back in and turned on water and checked for leaks. All good. However there is no water getting into the ice maker. The unit itself is going thru a cycle of attempting to make ice and the bail is moving and you can hear the solenoid activate but no water. I have tried to blow thru the tube going to the maker but it seems to be plugged by something. I do not know if there is another valve up there or how to clean it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
