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.

Thin, flexible edge on outermost door gasket was tearing from the main gasket, likely due to being rubbed when accessing refrigerator..
Gasket is held in place by an extrusion on the back side. Simply remove the old gasket and press the new gasket's extrusion into the track on the door.

During cross country move, water valve froze and broke.
Straight forward repair. Remove the four screws holding cardboard back. Remove the 2 screws holding the valve. Unscrew the water lines and unplug the electrical connections. I would caution that it would be wise to either take a couple photos or write down the order of connection. Even though it is somewhat color coded and the water lines are different sizes, a photo removes any confusion. My old valve had threaded connections using brass nuts and ferrules. The new valve has push in connections so you need to cut the ferrules off.. When cutting off the tubing, be sure to cut square. An angled or "squished" cut will leak when pushed into the fitting. Attach the valve to the refrigerator with 2 screws and replace the cardboard back and you're finished. While you have the back off is a good time to clean the coils. I left my fridge out and back off for a couple of ice making cycles so I could check for leaks (how I know the tubing needs to be cut very square). All in all, a very easy fix.

Water valve was leaking
The u tube instructions were exactly what is needed. I had to cut off the old plastic pipes. My pipe had threaded connectors. Pex push on connection is super easy. You don't really need a block of wood to cut it if you have a sharp utility blade. If if you are sure this is the problem this is a really easy fix. Steps 1 turn off water at wall unplug electric also 2. Disc line at valve on refrigerator 3. Remove 2 screws holding valve 4. Pull valve out and remove plastic hoses and electric connections pay attention to color of pipe and electric connection. Mine were color coded. Had to cut off thread connectors. Reattach in reverse order or do one at a time. Check for leaks.
