But always look for used appliances.  You would be amazed how many people with lots of money replace perfectly good appliances just because they want to go with a new "look".

I did it with no issues. The wiring harness, however runs through the top hinge pin. The right side with the screen was easy. The left side with the icemaker was the tough one. The wiring and the water line was a bit tough at first, but I got em in there.. They're both hollow with an opening on one side..  Pretty gimpy setup since there are no bolts holding the top pins in like older fridges.. just a small removable lever clamp type setup.. Other than the wired and water line the hard part was trying to align the pins top and bottom.. You have to do one blind.. Oh well..SUCCESS! and...it still works like new. Whoda thunked it?
I'm considering buying scrapped newer appliances from a guy I know for the parts and reselling just parts online. Just one of the plastic door bins cost over $50 from refurbishers.. There's hundreds of individual parts on just one scrapped refrigerator. I'd be happier than a pig in sh*** to resell em for less than half price.. LOL
