How to Replace the Ice Maker Support in a Samsung Refrigerator Model RS2577SL

The Samsung RS2577SL refrigerator is available with an automatic ice maker. The ice maker has a support bracket that installs first to allow for an easy removal of the ice maker for repairs or cleaning. The bracket is screwed into the wall of the freezer and the ice maker simply slides into the bracket and locks into place, so you don't need any tools to remove the ice maker. If the bracket breaks, it may not provide a secure support for the ice maker and you'll need to replace it. The replacement procedure only takes about 10 minutes.
