I have a built-in KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator model KSSS48MBX00.  It has been having problems with the ice-maker's water inlet valve.  I want to replace it, but I can't figure out how to get to it.  The sides and back of this refrigerator are not removable and there isn't a removable panel.  The water line goes through an oblong hole at the bottom rear of the unit.  Once it's inside the sheet metal, I can't see any valve.  Removing the kick-panel from in front, I can see the water line.  I'd guess that the valve is somewhere above my line of sight, but even if I could see it, I wouldn't be able to get a tool on it.  There must be some trick that makes it possible to get to the valve.  

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

should be accessible from the front behind the bottom kick plate near the water filter.  You should see  two hex head mounting screws. Remove them and the valve should come loose.
