Repair & Advice
Unplug refrigerator, shut off water to refrigerator, remove lower access cover in back of fridge, disconnect water feed line, disconnect line connected to water valve, remove 2 screws & cover where lines enter fridge at top, (now inside of fridge) remove water filter (and any covers), use 1/4 " socket to remove 2 screws and pull old unit out from inside of fridge. Reverse process to install. Be sure to push the thermal gum back into place to block air leakage. Hardest task is compressing the foam enough on new unit to fit thru the hole in the fridge. I used a flat screwdriver to gently push it thru unit I could pull from back of fridge.
