Not dispensing Water or Ice
Repair was quite simple and fixed part of the problem...it does dispense water now but I'm afraid the driver for ice dispensing is locked u. That part is expensive and I'll forgo dispensing ice.

removing trim
The video did not make real clear that to remove the trim with the putty knife it was necessary to just pry the trim off with the putty knife.

Problem was not the micro switch. The push arm was not making full contact with the micro switch.
I added a self adhesive pad to the push arm to make full contact with the micro switch. Thanks to your video, it was a quick fix!
