Water outlet tubing leaking in elbow behind water filter
Most difficult and time-consuming part of the job was clearing the refrigerator of food and shelving. Replaced tubing as it had split in the factory bend of the tubing directly behind the water filter. Take your time and don't get in a hurry.
From day one the installer did not tighten the screw in the freezer handle. It finally came apart. They didn't leave me the Allen wrench for my fridge.
Simple tightening of the screw with the right tool.
Removed the baskets/containers from freezer compartment. Removed back panel from the freezer interior. Swapped the fan on the mount Tested and reassembled fully Back in working order

The fridge icemaker would pit out crushed ice. No whole cubes
I had to remove everything inside including the surrounding box and disconnect all the wire connector s. The solenoid that was bad was behind the cover that the auger motor cover. . Job was easy after I determined I had to remove everything that was not attached to the back wall.
I read other suggestions trying isolate auger motor shaft with pliers while turning bar drive. needle nose pliers could hold the shaft. bar drive just would spin. so took the whole ice box assembly out (only 2 screws) and with a metal cutting blade used the sawzall to cut along the shaft. freed it up enough to then unscrew it from that point. Left handed threads by the way.
We had someone to come and look at it and we were told it was the solenoid valve. The repairman unstuck it for us and said when it does it again, he would have to order the part. We took it upon ourselves to order the part and DIY. We replaced the part that we were told was the problem and "guess what" it's still not fixed. It's still shooting out crushed ice. Will have to call repair guy back out here to see what we did wrong.
