Ice not dispensing
This was not a hard repair. Just remove all the screws and slide out the old Auger drum. It is always good to take a picture first incase you have any problems putting it back together. Be careful to put the ice crushers back in the same order and make sure you look at how the "door spring" connects before pulling it apart.

Ice maker dispenses plastic parts (the auger)
I began by removing the ice maker and storing the ice. The part did not come with instructions so I began taking the ice maker apart. I ran into problems rather quickly so I went to the "part select" web site and there was a video with instructions on removal and reinstallation of the auger. It was a breeze after that. These guys are obviously professionals!

No ice coming out of the ice maker
Had to replace the auger drum. Went fairly smooth. The video that was linked next the part was a big help, especially when all the blades of the ice chopper came off of the shaft at once and I needed to get them back in the correct order. I did a freeze frame on the moment in the video to figure out the order.

light staying on
A very cold and brittle switch in a 17 year old fridge. Used screwdrivers to pry out with some resistance Had to cut the molded plug in half and split wires, because replacement contacts were farther apart than the original. End result, works great.

Ice Bin Auger Drum cracked.
It was a breeze to remove and replace. Made even easier by the previous DIY guys posts. Make sure you turn the nut at the end of the shaft clockwise to loosen. Taking a picture of the blades for ice crushing before removal for future reference is a great idea. It wasn't hard at all. Just take your time.

No crushed/cubes from icemaker
We took the icemaker apart, and took pictures of how it looked before so we knew how to put it back together, we were really surprised how easy it was to put back together, I will be ordering other parts from this company, I got my part in 1-2 days by Fedex, I will be telling others about this company

Ice Bin Auger Drum was broken.
Removed screws, Ice maker blads, and broken Auger Drum. Reverced order and replaced with new Auger Drum.
The manufacture needs to change the part from a plastic Auger Drum to a metal aluminum Auger Drum. This is the second one I had to change in 4 years.

Internal light did not come on each time the door was opened.
After disconnecting the electricity. I followed the instructions as indicated in the "HOW TO" article on the website. I used a steel putty knife and pried the light switch out of its retaining hole. I worked the right side the most since this is the side with the retaining clip. After I removed the switch I transferred the two electrical outlets to the new switch and easily snapped it into place. Engaged the electric power and tested the switch.
