Water Filter Base Plate tab that holds cover in place broke off. Need to replace Base Plate.
For model number KBLS20EVMS3
Hello Kevin, thank you for contacting us. We are providing you with the instructions that will help you in replacing the water filter mounting plate. First thing you have to do is take the cover off. Press on the lever to release it. The filter needs to be dropped down. After that, you can see that the cover is mounted on two pins on the back. You are just gonna flex it, so it comes off. You have this side off, you can drop it down and then pull it off the pin on the other side. Once you have it off the pins, you can pull it out of the refrigerator. Once you have the cover out of the way, you can take the filter off. You have to unclip this mounting point by pressing down on the clip. Once you have a free that you have to pull the pin out on the other side. Water filter mounting plate is held in by four locking tabs, two in the front, two in the rear. You have to pull down on the edge a little and then get on the top of it with a putty knife. The locking tab will be visible in there. You just going to press on it and pull it down and you can do the rear one. To put the new water filter mounting plate in you just gonna feed it up into place and wrap it around the water lines. You can put the two mounting tabs up in the back and then lift it up and snap all the tabs in. You have to press right on the bottom of each tab to get it to lock. We hope this helps!

Pressed in the end of the filter cover, lowered it down part way. Twisted the old filter 1/4 turn and removed it. Set in the sink to drain. Inserted new filter and twisted it to lock. closed cover. Done. Total time @ 1 Minute.
Interior surface of ice tray felt rough & flaky (coating deteriorated) so cubes would not release. Unplug appliance. Remove timer cover by hand pressure @ edge. Remove single attachment screw & bracket at lower front of icemaker. Disconnect wiring harness from socket @ rear of compartment. Tricky part was determin
... Read moreing what type of connection held the other two attachment points along the long edge of the icemaker. I did not have repair manual or useful drawing but looked @ PartsDirect pic of side brackets & used a small mirror to confirm that mine were also some sort of "snap in" attachment. Remove icemaker unit by pushing upward and outward on the unit. I takes a good bit of pressure and will pop loose, but be careful not to break attachment bracket from freezer wall. Scavenge shut off bar and wiring harness from old icemaker once you have it out & attach to new one before installing it back in freezer. Again, you might find a mirror useful to align those pesky snap-in brackets with the new unit. Since you probably kept your freezer running while waiting for the part, the plastic snap-ins will be cold and brittle. I warmed them up first by applying a dampened cloth heated in the microwave to make them a little more pliable. A good push of the new unit towards the snap-ins along with some upward force will get it stable. Reattach the metal screw in bracket & connect the wiring harness to rear plug... and don't forget to plug the whole thing back in. It will take awhile for the first batch of cubes dump as the timer may need to cycle completely around to get to the fill cycle... be patient. Dump the first couple of batches of cubes just to make sure you're free of any residue.
unplugged refrigerator and shut off water, removed one screw and loosened two more, after removing one side of the ice bucket rail, unplugged electrical from old ice maker. Then I removed the bail and out on new one, reinstalled ice maker in reverse order from taking it out.
