Do-It-Yourself Story

After researching the problem, I decided to order a replacement ice maker for my KitchenAid french door bottom freezer refrigerator. Though the video on this site was very helpful, it showed a top placement, which would be easier to access. Some youtube videos showed the bottom drawer lifting out, but mine needed 4 screws to remove the freezer drawer, and the rest of the installation went great! The only thing I would say is the part where the water comes into the icemaker is slightly different than the one pictured. The original part has a hole, and the replacement part has a piece of plastic that needs to be removed. I scored it with an exacto knife and carefully bent it until it came off. The water supply hose would then fit perfectly. I'd also recommend taking pictures before and after and along the way, so you can check your work.
