Do-It-Yourself Story

The drain pan (Tray-Evaporator Pan) was cracked in 2 places. We had to remove the front panel. Loosen the bracket that holds the water filter. Take off the back panel and disconnect the bracket that holds the selenoid. It was not necessary to unhook the water lines, just the bracket. It was not easy to remove the old pan and get the new one in, but holding the water filter, with the bracket intact, as far to the left side of the refrigerator as possible gave us the room to get the pan in. One of us held the filter out of the way while the other inserted the pan. (Some models have tape holding the pan in place which needs to be cut in order to remove the old pan, but ours did not.)
