    i don’t really think this guy knows what he’s talking about… he don’t seem like a MECHANICAL minded person, but for SOME REASON he decided to post a video on it… though, for BASICS, it …. uhhmmm… is broken down okay, but NOT for people that REALLY want to KNOW HOW it works….

    not bad, quite informative, the best site to get started working at home is Heavy Dollars (search it) – its really imformative, it helps me make extra $’s. I found that the online store is fantastic and practically runs itself

    Hello there William. I have side by side from late 90′s. Doesn’t have built in filter-I inserted it on the waterline. I get cooled water O.K. but not ice. There must be some kind of secondary valve,which lets the water into the ice maker. How can I repair it…what is wrong?Thanks Jiri
