Inspection and access
I opened the ice compartment and removed the ice-maker assembly. The photos show the empty mounting area and the old assembly outside the refrigerator.
Repair and reassembly
I fitted the replacement ice maker and worked on the door seals. The freezer gasket was removed from its channel, and the replacement seals were fitted around the door edges.
I also cleaned the buildup around the lower grille before finishing the work. The invoice total was $469 after the customer discount.
