Removing Ice Maker Assembly
Insert a straight blade screwdriver in the slots on the bottom
of the fascia and twist the blade to release.

the top of the cabinet.
Move a shelf to the top position on the left RC ladder. Re-
move the ice maker assembly and rest on the shelf.
Disconnect the wire harnesses and remove the
ice maker assembly.
The ice maker wiring harness is now being routed through the top of the cabinet. This
