Tools:Nutdriver
Paddle broken -no ice or water
Start by removing the lower drip pan exposing the two nuts that hold on the outer trim. Remove the two 5/16 screws and gently pry the trim molding loose from the door. The entire touch pad and trim will come off leaving only three connections to carefully unplug. Once this is removed, there are two additional 5/16 screws holding the mechanism in place in the door. Remove screws, remove the mechanism and dislodge the hose from the clips that secure it in its place. Once this is done, all is left is to pry open the slot where the paddle rests being careful of the spring, and place the new paddle assuring the spring is in the proper slot. I had to slightly bend the end of the paddle in order to make better contact with the switch that operates the ice and water. I fine tuned this to operate with a very soft touch. Once the paddle is changed, and operates smoothly, reassemble mechanism, water tube, screws, and reattach plugs to the touch pad. Snap cover in place, return two remaining screws, and enjoy. Thank you.
