By gently turning the blade, the cover will snap free at the bottom and can be slid upward to be removed. Gene.

After closely inspecting the water side lever I realized the plastic pins that hold the micro switch in place had broken off leaving the entire switch to push forward when pressure was put on the water lever. Those pins help keep the switch in place so when the lever hits the trigger on the switch the trigger is depressed only thereby activating the switch.I purchased the plastic plate that holds both micro switches and It's already installed and working just fine. I really appreciate your advise Gene and hope this helps others also who may experience a similar problem. You have been a big help and I won't forget, my brothers name is Gene also. Many thanks, Fred

Make sure the filter is new and check the water inlet valve on the back of the refrigerator.
