The ice maker that fought me for three days straight

Got a call for a Samsung fridge not making ice, figured it was the usual water filter or valve. Spent 45 minutes checking those, all good. Then I found the real issue: a tiny, broken plastic arm inside the ice maker unit itself. The part was only $12, but getting the new one to seat perfectly and trigger the micro switch took me another two hours of fiddling. I must have taken that whole assembly out and put it back in five times. Has anyone else had a simple repair turn into a multi-day project because of one stubborn little piece?

Oh man, do I know that feeling. I once replaced a dishwasher pump that should have taken an hour. The new pump fit fine, but the drain hose clamp just would not seal right. I had water dripping for two days, taking the whole thing out over and over, before I realized the new hose was a millimeter too short. Drove me crazy.
