Ice maker quit working.
The two screws that held the ice maker in place could not be seen do to there location. I could only get one hand inside do to space restriction.So I placed a mirror inside so I could see the screw heads and from point it was very easy to see and line up the nut driver on the screw heads. I then lifted it up and unplugged the wiring and installed the new ice maker. Works like a charm. Paul

Ice maker quit making ice
I followed the video that came with my email receipt but i had to use the extra electrical adapter, there is no where to put the extra wiring so it is hanging next to the wall. I was glad I didn't have to unplug the fridge. just kept the wire up so no water would come out. It took several hours to start working and it doesn't make as much ice as the old one, but at least it works. It was a very informative video. Thanks

Ice maker not generating much ice
We reviewed the video posted on your site for guidance. It was very helpful to see someone do the repair. The project went just as described in the video. Within 24 hours I had a full bin of ice!

Ice maker would not make ice or fill up
Followed the video instructions posted below the product. Its a tight area to work in but it can be done. It did not immediately start making ice. I waited and waited.... 3 hrs 4 hrs still not filling up or making ice. Finally I decided to pour some water in the tray and see if it would freeze ice and dump it. It did and immediately started to fill up on its own after that! Its been working perfectly ever since! So dont be alarmed if yours doesnt work immediately and try pouring some water in it if yours doesnt being working within several hrs. I am happy I was able to do this myself and save repair man costs. Its just not work the cost they charge for older appliances.

arm wouldn't go all the way down and dump ice
Took front off and found the broken spring, got new one and replaced, now works great. Make sure to unplug as the water can come on and flood the freezer.

water running over ice machine and into kitchen
Called a repair man. He said it was a a sensor type valve at the bottom back of fridge and he would have to order. He never called us, so we went to website and ordered it. Replaced it. It WAS obviously burned out/dicolored. Bracket had to be redone, as it wasn't standard. Didn't work. Ordered new icemaker. Worked like a charm. Video for installing icemaker very helpful. He called a couple weeks later and we already had it fixed.

The ice maker failed for the second time.
This is the 2nd ice maker replace in the past 20 months. This installation was easier following the experience of the first replacement. The instructions are well written. The pictures or illustrations are difficult. The most challenging part of the installation is routing and fastening the wire harness. The illustration was not helpful. Overall, this is a repair most DIYers should be able to accomplish.
