Replaced Water Inlet Valve
All instructions included on this site are good. I would add only one thing to them. When removing the 4 water lines from the old unit be sure to pull up on the white rings while you pull down on the water lines. All else is a snap.

Water leaking from dispenser
Used a nut driver to remove the small panal from the back of the refrigerator. Removed the two screws holding the valve in place. Unscrewed the water lines from the old valve and cut the ends off of them. Push the water lines back into the new valve. Unpluged the wiring from the old valve and installed them in the new valve. reinstalled the new valve and put the cover back on. Tested system for proper operation.

Very weak water pressure from dispenser, hollow ice cubes
I diagnosed the problem by checking the water flow at the supply valve and hose by disconnecting the hose from the back of the fridge. Found the pressure to be adequate. I then reconnected the supply hose and removed the cardboard backing from the fridge and removed the nuts holding the water inlet valve to the chassis. I loosened the first hose that runs from the bottom of the valve and had my wife activate the valve by pushing the water switch on the front of the fridge. Water basically sputtered out of the valve and I decided that was where the problem was. I ordered the valve from partselect. When it arrived I thought it was the wrong part because it had push-fittings whereas my original valve was all thumb screws. I took a chance and one by one used a utility knife to cut the hose free of the old valve as close to the nut as possible. Connecting them to the new valve was a piece of cake! Just make sure the hose bottoms out when you push it in. I turned the water back on, no leaks! Plugged the fridge in and pushed it back to the wall. After a bit of air bled out I had a strong flow of wateragain like new! The next day the ice cubes were solid again! We use the filtered water so many times a day and had been so frustrated with the slow water flow we had considered donating the fridge and buying a new one; thanks to this easy fix we expect keep it for years to come!

Ice Maker/Water Solenoid Valve Assembly
Purchased a replacement part only to find the new part had push on fitting and my part has screw on fittings. Went to Youtube where Partselect had a video on how to replace the part from screw fittings to push on fittings

My Ice Maker stopped making ice and the water dripped from the dispenser
I turned off the water, removed the cardboard cover from the back of the refrigerator; removed the 2 screws holding the water valve in place; unscrewed the plastic tubing from the valve; unplugged the wires to each solenoid (3); the old valve had threaded connections for the plastic water lines, the new valve didn't; I had to cut the ferrel off of the plastic lines so I could insert them into the new valve and then press the connector into the valve (I didn't anticipate something like this, but it worked fine); I reconnected the wiring and screwed the valve back into place. The ice maker started making ice and the water stopped dripping from the dispenser. The best $65 I've ever spent.

Clogged Filter
Once the filter arrived, I pushed it in that releases a latch and removed the clogged filter. I then pushed in the new filter and when it clicked, I ran a few cups of water through it to clear any debris left from manufacturing and the job was finished. Less than 15 minutes.

Leaking water
My part had threaded fittings. The part that I received had snap fittings. Once I realized that that snap fittings worked with the bare tubing and not any special tip endings, I simply cut off the ends of my tubing that mated with the threaded fittings. I then had bare tubing that snapped into the snap fittings. Two minutes later, the part was in place and the job was done. Problem solved.

read out on refridgerator said to order
it is a very simple process. pull out the water filter. put in the new one after removing the plastic tops. slide the filter in place pushing to set it in place. run water through water spout on door of fridge for about 3 minutes or until all the air bubbles are out. and there you are ready for a drink of water.
