As with any repair, you should unplug the power cord before beginning.

To replace the water fill cup on the icemaker first remove the ice bucket.

Now lift up the ice access door and pull off the icemaker cover.

Remove the bottom screw securing the icemaker assembly mounting bracket.

Now loosen the top screws and lift the assembly off of the screws.

Be aware the ice tray will be filled with water or ice.

Next, release the thermal fuse from the retaining clip.

Depress the retaining tab to release the wire harness.

Remove the icemaker assembly from the freezer and set it on a sturdy surface.

Detach the ice level arm.

Now remove the screws securing the control module and pull the module off.

Next, remove the screws securing the control module housing to the mold.

Separate the housing from the mold

Pull off the ice rake and lift out the ice ejector bar.

If still intact, lift off the old fill cup.

Install the new water fill cup by positioning it on the mold then insert the ice ejector bar.

Position the ice rake and slide on the control module housing.

Replace the screws to secure.

Now align the control module with the housing and rotate the ice ejector bar until the module can be fully seated.

Secure the module with the screws.

Replace the ice level arm by inserting the back end of the arm into the new fill cup then insert the front end into the control module housing.

Returning to the freezer compartment, snap the wire harness into place on the assembly and secure the thermal fuse under the retaining clip.

Align the fill cup with the water spout as you position the assembly on the screws.

Tighten the screws and replace the bottom screw to secure the assembly mounting bracket.

Snap the cover onto the icemaker and close the ice access door.

Replace the ice bucket by aligning it on the rails and sliding it into place.

If you have trouble positioning the bucket you can rotate the auger to fully seat the drive coupler.

You’re now ready to plug the power cord back in and confirm that icemaker is working properly.
