Repair & Advice
Shut off the water and unplug the refrigerator
Remove the bottom plate off the rear of the refrigerator
Remove the screw holding the valve in
Disconnect the plugs (might have to pull one cover out of the way)
Open the lock (black round piece) that holds the out water line and pull the line out buy pushing in the white rim around the line.
Remove the lock from the ice water line by pulling it straight out and remove the ice line (orange) by pushing in the white rim.
Unscrew the line in nut on the top of the valve and pull the line off the nipple (have towels since this will drain the line)
Reverse the steps to install the new valve making sure the lines are in fully and line locks are in place.
Once installed bleed the water line by running a few gallons out of the dispenser on the front of the refrigerator.
