Answer Hello Anthony! Here are some instructions located from a service manual. Hope this helps you!
-To gain access to the control area you will need to pull the drip tray out first.
-With the drip tray removed, remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the front panel, two screws on Icon models.
-Lift up on the front panel, there are tabs on the top of the panel that slide into holes in the door panel. On Icon models the tabs are on the sides. Swing panel out to side, being careful not to pull the ribbon connector for the control board.
-Carefully unplug the ribbon connector from the power board on the dispenser in the door. This will give you access to the power board.
-On models with electrical mechanical selector on the front panel, when you remove the front you can gain access to the selector switch.
-The switch is of the push button type. It will have a red indicator on a slide that will slide up and down to indicate the switch position. The switch will plug directly into the dispenser harness.
-On models with electronic control to gain access to the control, snap the light socket loose and remove the 6 small screws from the board.
-Pull board straight out of housing. Disconnect plug on left side of board. Disconnect 4 wires to dispenser actuator switches.
-With the board removed, remove the 3 screws from the dispenser housing and pull the dispenser forward.
-Remove water line from dispenser housing by pulling straight out.
-With the water line removed, the upper part of the dispenser is free of the freezer door panel. The main housing is part of the door panel, and is not removable.
-The ice door and actuator switches, as well as the return springs, can be serviced with the control module removed.
The door seal should snap out of place and the new door seal will snap into place.
