Is there an easy fix or will this require a pro to attend and repair? I am very handy at fixing things but have little if any experience with appliances. If there are step by step instructions available I would appreciate any help available. Everything else still works beautifully. Thanks

I need to get into the door of the freezer to deal with my issue and certainly don't want to break anything in the process. Ideas please or instructions? again thanks in advance

Turns out the metal arm sticking out of the back needed to be above the solenoid arm. I reached under the bucket when pushing it in and manually pulled the white solenoid arm down to ensure the metal arm pushed in above it. Problem solved only took 15 seconds. HTH Thanks for these videos and parts! The wifie is getting mad at me because I keep fixing her old appliances and she's not getting new ones. :D

Removed the ice blockage and voila! ice cubes are dispensing. Thanks.
