Removing the freezer drawer
I opened the lower freezer compartment and released the drawer from its slide hardware. The front panel and drawer assembly were lifted out so the side tracks and ice-maker area could be reached.
The photos show the drawer removed, the slide mechanisms on both sides and the empty freezer opening.
Slide hardware and ice-maker area
I inspected the drawer-slide components and the ice maker inside the freezer, then refitted the drawer onto the tracks. The front panel and drawer fronts were aligned during reassembly.
The invoice records the refrigerator service at $360. The work carries a 6-month warranty on parts and labor.
