Turned of water to refrigerator and unplugged refrigerator. Removed the water line from refrigerator. Removed back panel.

Turned on water valve and checked for leaks. It's now dispensing water and ice.

0) Look on the internet for a DIY/or pro-shop Video
1) Pull the refrigerator away from the wall, unplug the power cable
2) Shut off the water at the wall valve
3) Disconnect the water line at the inlet valve on the refrigerator (lower corner, right side), this is a threaded pipe fitting requiring a small open end wrench
4) Remove the lower rear panel
5) Remove the water inlet and distribution valve assembly, there is one sheet-metal screw holding the assembly to the back edge of the refrigerator.
6) Carefully pull the assembly out of the back of the refrigerator, leave the distribution water lines attached, note the orientation
7) Disconnect the electrical connectors, note the orientation/types
8) Disconnect the water line from the inlet valve, remove the retaining clip, then pull out the line. Note - a small metal star shaped tube fitting may come out with the valve, this is fine and will not be used again.
9) Remove the inlet valve from the assembly (there are two small sheet-metal screws that are very tight, the correct/precise size, good quality Philips head screw driver is necessary or use a small set of vice-grips to grab the head of the screw)
10) Attach the new valve to the valve assembly, connect the electrical connectors, note - at the plastic refrigerator water line that connects to the inlet valve, trim/cut a small section off the end of the water line before connecting it to the valve. This will provide a fresh interface for the connection. Push the line in firmly and then install the retaining clip.
11) Perform a quick functional check before putting everything back together - Attach the water line from the wall, turn on the water, attach the electrical connectors, plug in the refrigerator power cable and test for operation and leaks.
12) Assuming no leaks/operational issues, unplug the refrigerator power cable again, turn off the water at the wall, disconnect the water line at the inlet valve and reinstall the valve assembly and rear panel. Reconnect the water line and plug in the power cable and you should be good to go.!

1. Removed old bin from ice maker(pulled it out manually).
2. Inserted replacement bin.
Total time is less than 30 seconds.

took out original Duct Assembly, put in NEW Duct Assembly the same way the original Duct Assembly was removed in the freezer. The rest was easy to put back together

Removed back panel and water inlet valve and replaced with a new water inlet valve

Slid new bin into place. It works perfectly now.

The ice bin I ordered did not arrive on time and, when tracking indicated it was delivered, it was not here. I notified customer service and was told that they would cancel that order and I could order again.and make a payment, to include shipping, again and I would be reimbursed. Two days later the first order showed up. I notified customer service that the item had shown up and I installed it therfore requested the second order be deleted. Was told that it was already enroute and they would send me necessary paperwork to return it. upon receipt of the paperwork I followed the instructions bur, when I contacted UPS (as directed) was advised that I would have to pay shipping of about $19. unless Partselect requested and paid for shipping and sent me the shipping label. I received the shipping label but, when I contacted UPS was advised that I would stoll have to pay to have the item picked up at my house and, unless I wanted to pay that cost I should deliver the package to a UPS pick up location........all the way across town through heavy traffic, about 25 miles. I should have kept the second bin along with the first, given it away or thrown it away and the cost would have been re imbursed. Trying to do the right thing, I was responsible for additional cost and aggravation .......Thanks a lot!!!!

Examined old ice maker. It is held by some Philips screws. There are many screws you don't need to unscrew so look carefully. Then disconnected th dual in line connector. There is a little push tab to squeeze to release. Then the ground is connected with a screw. It's a little hard to see but unscrew that. My replacement came with no instructions or screws so try not to drop the screws down in the netherlands of the fridge. The hardest part was maneuvering the icemaker to reattach the power and ground. Even with that pretty straight forward replacement.

Remove back door and then shut water of to the refrigerator. Then remove old valve. Have towel ready for excess water when you remove nut to valve. Install new valve screw to refrig. Turn on water and check for leaks.

Removed Ice dispenser and installed new one.

I waited for 2 weeks for a professional appliance repairman to fix my water leak. He kept telling me he was trying to get the part. I finally gave up on him and ordered the part online. Only took a few minutes for the repair. Got the part via mail in 3 days.

Easy repair. Unplugged refer. Took back cover off with screwdriver. Unscrewed the support for the pump. Unhooked water lines from both ends of bad pump. Pulled electrical line off the old pump. Put the support on the new pump, hooked up lines, and electrical plug and screwed the pump to the frame. Put the coever back on unit. Plugged back into wall. Worked immediately.

It's a snap in part. 10 seconds to install

My husband took out the ice maker. We ordered the part. He looked on YouTube for instructions. Including looking up instructions, I think it took him way less than an hour.
