4KSRS22QDW00 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

I receved the new ice maker and the only problem I had was getting the old ice maker plug disconected from the frig.

I watched a video several time to get the steps in the removal and reinstall. It really was not that hard but first time repairs can take extra time.

turned off power unscrewed all the screw that mount ice maker, used flat head to release the clip on the wire harness, took out and exchanged the overfill wire, plugged the new unit in at wire harness, lined up and leveled ice maker tighten all the mounting screws, very simple repair i am very happy that you still had the orginal (OEM) ice maker, thanks Herb

Watched Video - took you through step by step

with a mirror to see the small hole on the front side of the icemaker.... very simple, took 1 minute

I took the tray out of ice maker, removed the screws holding the drum assembly. Dismantling the drum assembly careful as possible and placing the new drum on place of broken one, it still took twice to get it workable. Probably the next time I will follow the instructions a little more closely.

The repair man came out and said the Ice Maker is broken.He said to call him when I get the part but after looking at the video it took 10 minutes to Install. If you can use a screw driver this part is a piece of cake. Oh don't forget to unplug the frig. God Luck John Bronx NY

Place new shelf in freezer compartment

Went to parts select and found diagram of parts then found their page that shows percentages of each part being the cause (very helpful) then I watched video of repair (very, very helpful) and fixed the problem. Your company, PartSelect is the best! Rick

very easy two small screws, no problems

watched the video. If your water dispenser is working on and off and it eventual quits,it is the water control vale that needs to be replaced.

I replaced the ice maker with a new one. All part were included. The cost was about $200.00 cheaper than what the repair person wanted.

Ice maker is held on by two clips and one screw. Removed old ice maker and unplugged wiring harness. It appeared normal. Since it was 15 years old and a brand new one was only a little more than $100 I decided to just replace it. Shopped online and got best price here. Delivered promptly. Item description said it did not come with wiring harness, but mine came with three different ones. However my wiring harness had a different molded plastic connector where it is plugged into the back of the freezer so I could not just pop it off and pop in the new one. Instead I had to reuse my old one. No problem, since the harness was not damaged anyway. Also I had to reposition the harness clip on the new ice maker and remove the plastic tab on the bottom and re use the tab from my existing ice maker. The tab on the new ice maker would not line up with the hole in the freezer. All in all it took about 10 minutes total to switch the two units out. Extremely simple job, do not pay someone to do this for you.

I was unable to remove the old part so I threaded the new part in front of it. They both fit within the actuator. Done!

It tool me a while to diagnose the problem but realized the ice dispenser motor coupling had failed. It fooled me for a while because it turned on the motor but could not turn the plastic shaft inside the icemaker. I found the instructions for an almost identical repair on your website. 1)I removed the motor. In my case the wiring harness came right off.2) I turned the coupling by hand and found that although it turned, it was actually loose on the motor shaft. I then knew it was the problem. 3) The threads were apparently cross threated. 4) As a prior user suggested on your site, I used a hacksaw to cut the old coupling off, being careful to not damage the remaining threads. 5) I ordered the new coupling which arrived very quickly 6) I screwed it on to the motor shaft (remember it is a left hand thread). 7) Presto!! My icemaker works. As the other user suggested, I did not have to use washers as spacers. The new coupling was better made than the old one and actually has ~1/8" nut or spacer already welded to the coupling. My thanks to those before me who helped make this a successful repair.
