I took the old one out, and plugged in the new one. 

I brought new water valve and ice maker that was in the freezer..To replace water valve. I shut off water to house ,unplugged frig. Removed main supply pipe in back of frig. Took off water valve and removed wire connectors, then hoses. Everything is color coded, so you can not mix anything up it took me 12 minutes to do. Then I replaced freezer parts. Loosen two screws slid it up, unplugged it. Plugged new one in, tighten the two screws. That one took only 5 minutes to install. Push frig back in place and plugged in frig. I heard ice dropping in tray 30 minutes later and all is good

Ordered a replacement ice maker. Fairly simple repair: 1. Loosen mounting screws (2) lift and pull and the ice maker will be free of the screws. 2. Unplug the ice maker by squeezing tabs on either side and unplug 3. Install replacement making sure to keep cord free of pinching. Plug in unit and you will hear the tabs click ensuring proper plug in. 4. Hang new ice maker on mounting screws and tighten screws. For mine I used a 1/4 nut driver. 5. For my ice maker i had to remove the front cover and turn the timing screw 1/2 turn counter clockwise to set the water timer. Replace cover (it just snaps on and off) * The only other thing i did between step 2 and 3 was trim the water tube coming out from the fridge to the ice maker fill cup. I used a box cutter to trim just a small amount of plastic tube. The replacement ice maker fill cup was smaller than the original and the tube appeared to be butted up against the fill cup side. I did not want the water to splash out so i cut a bit of tube so the tube was centered over the fill cup area. FYI my refrigerator is a top freezer, not side by side. 

With a replacement icemaker from appliancepartspros.com I had previously ordered another ice maker from another co. site unseen but I needed an electrical adapter for the electrical connections. Appliancepartspros had the aftermarket electrical adapter that came with the replacement ice maker perfectly adapted to the factory electrical connections. One of the biggest problems I had was the extra length the aftermarket electrical adapter and new ice maker electrical wiring had on it but with the extremely useful video and the zip ties (that came with the ice maker as well) that applied directly to the frig and aftermarket icemaker I was able to zip tie the wires up and out of the way, the other problem was that the 1/4" head screws that fastened the icemaker to the side of the freezer were hidden and hard to access. The fridge I was working on was a Frigidaire model # FRS24ZGEW2 and the replacement part # from applicancepartspros.com was: AP 3160597 this link should take you straight to the part # and repair video. https://www.appliancepartspros.com/frigidaire-replacement-icemaker-5303918277-ap3160597.html Also thank you to the customer support lady that I talked to, I can't remember her name but she was extremely helpful. Thank you appliancepartspros.com for your help and extremely helpful video and customer support!! 

I installed the part using a mirror. Pretty awkward and slow but it worked.
