Installed Ice Maker in Freezer
Installed ice machine components using kit and included instructions. Easy! Ran a copper line from under sink valve to back of refrigerator under the floor. Drilled two holes to run copper line. Plumber turned water off and replaced single valve with a double valve (one line to faucet and the other for the copper line). Installed shut off valve and filter at the other end of copper line. Then stainless hose to refrigerator. Everything went smooth. Double check the factory installed plastic line from the electric valve to the inlet for your freezer. Mine was barely inserted and leaked. I pushed it in all the way and it is fine now... Ice maker works really well! Wish I had done this sooner!

light did not work on the refrigerator side
bulbs were not burnt out. received the new switch in a few days. watch the short video, was good to see how it comes out. used a putty knife to release the defective switch, removed wires put them on the new one and posed the new switch back in. Not bad Part cost $11.00 7 dollars shipping so for 17 bucks it works great. nice to see what is inside the refer!

Movers broke the icemaker water fill tube shoving my refrigerator through the front door.
I unscrewed the fill tube screws from the back of the fridge, and pulled the tube out.
Then I put the new tube in, screwed the screws back in and reconnected the waterline.
Then I put the new tube in, screwed the screws back in and reconnected the waterline.

Water tubing was accidentally broken from the back of the freezer.
Removed the two screws holding the funnel in place...removed the old one and replaced it witht he new tubing...screwed screws back in and the jov was complete. It actually took longer to get it out of the sack than it did to put it together

Poor design leaves fitting vulnerable to damage. Part was broken when pushed to close to the wall.
Simply removed the old and replaced with the new part.
