The result was that the water did not came out. I notice that the switch on the front door that give the signal to the valve to open does not work. On the good unit, you can feel when the switch is depressed, on my unit you can not feel it, so I am guessing that it is broken. That switch goes on the front door, above the small light and on the top part of the water level that you press to get water. --->>> Do you know if that part is interchangeable? --->>> How do I disassemble the front part where the water and ice dispenser is? Thanks a lot for your help, Waldemar

The bracket is AP2988571 You'll just have to remove the front panel to get access to the bracket. The front panel of the dispenser snaps into place, you have to remove the drip tray and then pull down and out on the bottom skinny piece until it snaps free, this is kind of tricky since it feels like you're about to break the panel but it should pop off. I'd check this before ordering the bracket. Good luck let us know how it goes.
