Unplug the fridge.

Remove the ice container from the freezer door.

Look above the first full shelf on the door and remove the motor housing cover.

Disconnect the harness connector from the motor terminals.

Remove the four screws from the motor bracket and allow the motor to drop down on the shelf.

Pull the hex shaft out of the motor.

Remove the two screws from the hex drive shaft coupling holder and remove the coupling assembly.

Install the hex drive shaft in the motor as far as it will go.

Slide the new motor assembly back into place in the freezer door and mount it with the four screws you removed earlier.

Make sure that the top of the hex drive shaft,spring,and pin are through the hole in the ice container plate.

Plug the harness connector into the motor.

Position the motor housing cover so that the raised center faces the motor, and mount it in place with the two screws you removed earlier.

Make sure that the spring and pin are in the center hole of the hex drive shaft and that the bearing and seal are properly positioned on the coupling.

Position the coupling assembly over the spring loaded pin, then push down on the coupling and align it with the top of the hex drive shaft.

Secure the coupling assembly with the two screws you removed earlier.

The coupling does not have to align with the one in the bucket .

It will engage the first time you use the dispenser.
