The icemaker water valve assembly is attached to the
valve bracket, located on right side of compressor area.
A screw passing through a key-hole slot in valve
assembly secures the valve to the valve bracket.

turn off the water supply to the unit.
To remove the water valve, the kickplate/grill will need
to be removed first. Then, extract the two screws that
secure the unit tray to the unit and slide the tray out
