Replace the light switch for the refrigerator
Cover the putty knife with tape so you do not scratch the side wall where the switch is located. Slide the knife under the edge of the switch and push in a bit towards the switch and slightly twist to pop the switch out of its hole. Disconnect the wires from the switch and simply plug in the new switch. Push wiring back into the hole and careful push the switch into the hole until it snaps into place.

After installing the part I found that the ice maker was still not working. I removed the ice maker and found the gears weren't line up.
Took old part off and as I removed one hose I put that hose in the corresponding color hole. Then screwed the part on the refrigerator. Water was coming out of the water dispenser fast, but no ice. So I had to continue troubleshooting the ice maker.

Unit kept beeping as if the freezer door was open
I popped the old switch out of place and then disconnected the wire harness from the switch with a pair of needle nose pliers. I then inserted the harness into the new switch and popped the switch into place. Super easy and fast.
