I replaced the manifold with the one I bought. Finding the replacement part was easy using the online parts diagrams for my fridge. Once it came the repair is simple. The hoses and connections come already attached to the manifold. I had to remove two cover plates on the back and a cosmetic snap in cover inside. I removed the old hoses from the water supply and the internal plumbing connector. After that the manifold comes out by removing two screws.
Put in the new manifold and replaced the screws. Connected the two hoses to supply and internal plumbing. Turned on the water and tested. Worked like a charm. Then I replaced the back plates and the snap on cover and it was done.
