done deed...

Loosened 2 screws unplugged cable. Plugged in cable adapter on new unit. Plugged in to receptical, hung on 2 screws, tightened 2 screws. Done

I pulled the unit out, removed the lower access panel in the back. The receiving unit of the water line (Water Valve Assembly), had water spraying out of it which appeared to be as fine as a stran of hair. Aside from the wire attachments and multiple hoses attached to it, it was really easy to remove the old one and install the new one. Although the replacement part cost approx. $92, I would suspect I saved at least $50-$100 for a service call, not to mention who knows, $50-$100 in labor as well. Words of advice: Never be afraid to take on a challenge!

Problem was not solved by replacing water valve.
Seems that if the water reservor temp in the fresh food section is too cool, it will form ice plugs in the line to the dispensor on the freezer door. Currently running both section on the 5 and 5 temperture settings.

Disconnect unit from electric outlet, remove the lower back panel, locate water valve at lower left corner, Mine had a noticeable leak from blue water valve assembly. Turn off water supply, remove water valve assembly from unit, remove push and pull water tubes and harnesses.

Basically a plug and play fix, everything is clearly identified and color coded, just make sure the 4 wiring harnesses are kept in original position as they are transferred to new part.

Turn on water supply and check for leaks.

The video on the site was very helpful. The repair was really easy. It was exactly the way the video showed how to do it. I would definitely use this site again to find parts, figure out the "how-to", and use for skematics of appliances. Thanks.

Removed the back panel and removed the water valve with one screw.Replaced the water valves and bracket. replaced back panel and turned the water back on.

REplaced old icemaker with a new one. Install simple, However that was not the problem. I then replaced the water valve. Still no ice. I check the electric connection was OK. THe problem was the elbow fitting on the top back of the refrigerater leading to the icemaker was blocked with ice.Cleared it and turned water faucet up all the way. Ice maker worked.

Easiest repair ever....disconnected the old one, reconnected the new one. Easy.

Turned off water supply. Pulled refrigerator from wall. Removed grill covering condenser area. Removed screw holding water valve and pulled out valve. Unpluged electrical contections. Cut water supply lines one at a time and reattached to new valve. Reconnected electrical contacts, positioned water lines and inserted valve back into position. Attached valve with screw. Turned on water and checked for leaks. Replaced grill. Pushed refrigerator back into position.

The instruction video was great, mine was easy than even the video showed it to be. I changed it out in less than 15 minutes and it works great. The niocve things I didn't have to wait for a repairman or my husband to fix the problem.

turn off water. turn off electricity. empty freezer section of frozen food. remove ice bucket. loosen two screws holding IM to wall of refrigerator. lift off icemaker, and then unplug it as you remove it. INSTALL new IM by: putting new water funnel onto new IM. attaching adapter cord to IM. plug in IM electrical cord to refrigerator and then hang the new IM onto the two loosened screws on the refrig wall. Now tighten the two screws. the extra adapter electrical cord hangs below the new IM, but does not get in the way when you reinstall old ice bucket. reload food, turn on elec and water. PS. i had a crack in the casing of the new IM, so i got a new one, but that one was cracked too. so i just installed the second cracked one. hope it is not a problem.

Watched video on website then removed old ice maker. New one went in without any problems. Working great. I am a 60 year old woman and had never done anything like this but so easy. Husband scared now, doesn't know what project I will take on next.

install icemaker water was allways delivered to previous unit water is not being delivered to icemaker still having difficulty

Unplugged fridge. Removed the screws holding the rear cover plate to the back of the fridge. Removed cover plate. Removed waterline in from assembly. Removed screw securing assembly to fridge. Pushed in the retainers holding the water line and removed the four waterlines. Inserted the waterlines in to the new assembly. And tthen reveresed the process to reinstall the new assembly. I have used PartSelect to replace several items on my fridge. I only wish the fridge was as reliable as PartSelect is, so I didn't have to use them as often.
