David R Montgomery , TX May 07, 2016 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RSG257AAWP/XAA Icemaker / water dispenser would not shut off First, I modified old butter knife by bending a 90° angle about 3/4" from the tip. I slid the bent in up under the bottom of the switch cover and worked it to one side. I then rotated the knife downward using the bent end to pry the cover off.
