I watched the provided short video on replacing the water valve - seemed pretty easy. I am a young woman and my husband was impressed that I fixed this all on my own. (I'm impressed at myself!) It really wasn't hard....loosen a few screws, shut off the water supply, re-attach the new piece, and presto...my freezer maker was working again. It took me longer to move my freezer away from the wall and unscrew the pieces to access the back panel than it did to actually fix the problem.
