4KSRS27QFA01 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

Lower door closing cam was completely worn down so door wouldn't close on it's own. Ordered parts which arrived in a couple of days. After watching installation video on this website the job looked pretty easy. Needed socket wrench to loosen nuts at top, they were really tight. Removed door. Replaced both the cam on the bottom of door and the cam on the main unit, put door back on making sure it was straight and lined up properly. Retightened top nuts securely. Voila, problem fixed in only about 15 minutes or so.

I have a side by side so the space to work in was limited but I still completed the install in about 30 minutes. Unplugged the refrigerator then loosened the top two screws took out the bottom screw lifted the ice maker out just far enough to disconnect the power cord reversed the procedure. plugged it back in started making ice in 30 minutes. Probably would have not have taken that long my MS slowed me down a little. The repair man was going to be $300.00 plus $$75.00 trip charge what I paid was $128.41 that was with 3 day shipping.

If you are having this problem, read this. My refrigerator door would not stay closed. This was over a year and a half time period. I thought it was something complicated and told my wife to call a repairman. Thank goodness she does what she does best - not listening to me! I finally had enough and went online and googled my problem and found PartsSelect. PartSelect had a repair video showing how to fix the problem. If you are like me, I'm very cautious about purchasing from a website in which I'm not familiar. PartsSelect is a reputable site (I promise I do not work for them). My refrigerator is over 8 years old and they had the part I needed, a lower door cam, along with a video on how to install the part. This honestly took about 5-10 minutes to do and I did it without any help. I was so aggravated at myself for waiting so long at doing this!! I actually ordered 2 of these parts, just for the next time. You can do this.

Once we figured how to get front off, it was like a puzzle. One piece at a time. So thankful part has been improved and replaced. It works better than before, just wish would have done it sooner.

Symptom: The ice maker was making ice, but sometimes the water would run and overflow at the entrance of the ice maker, spilling water into the ice catch and turning all of the ice into a huge block. The problem was that the liner of the ice maker had started to flake off, but only on part of the unit. When water would flow into the ice maker, the exposed part would freeze quickly, creating an ice dam and block the rest of the water from flowing into the other trays, thus overflowing. Solution: A new ice maker unit was ordered online, then after watching the video on how to fix, the process was straightforward and fairly simple. There is one screw to remove, 2 to loosen, and a wire harness to remove to remove the ice making unit. Then the ice full bar was removed from the old unit and put onto the new unit and the entire assembly replaced inside the freezer. The most difficult part of the job was loosening the screws by touch as there isn't a lot of room to see.

Unplugged, turned off water. Simply took out bottom screw, then two top screws. Disconnected writing harness. Put in the new reversing order. Then like new again!

merely removed old crisper holder and slid in replacement

Remove entire ice maker unit from freezer to test for function. Determined to be an electrical malfunction issue. Installed replacement ice maker unit. Easy fix, perfect fit replacement unit.

It was so simnple that I let my wife do the repair. All she had to do was to turn of the water supply and unplug the refrig. loosen two screws on top and remove one screw on the bottom of the ice maker. Gentle tilt the unit in order to unplug the electric connection on the rear of the unit and then take it out. The new unit went back the same way in reverse order.

Unplug appliance before making this repair and if necessary, turn water off to dispenser/ice maker. 1. Locate two slots in the bottom of the dispenser cover and pry off with a screwdriver. Remove the cover to gain access to the dispenser. 2. Unplug electrical connections to remove mount assembly, remove tape holding wire assembly. 3. Carefully slide the ice and water mini switches out of plastic mount. 3. Remove the two screws holding the mount assembly 4. Remove and replace plastic mount, re-taping wiring assembly and re-attaching water and ice switches. 5. Re-attach assembly using the two screws and carefully re-attach the cover, snapping it into place. If the water line has to be replaced, before reattaching the assembly and dispenser cover, 1. Remove the screw holding the nozzle, 2. cut the nozzle off (it won't fit through the door opening) 3. Attach the new water line to the old where the nozzle was removed (I used scotch tape) 4. remove the bottom grill 5. Notice water line exiting the bottom of the door at the hinge which is connected to a plastic connecter behind the grill 6. Disconnect the line from the connecter, removing the metal clip holding the line to the front of the refrig. (a little water may be in the line) 7. GENTLY pull the water line down through the door until the taped line is all the way through. 8. Reattach the water line at the connecter and re-attach the metal clip. 9. Re-attach new water line nozzle in the water dispenser using the screw. 10. Re-attach dispenser cover using the instructions above. 11. Check for leaks 12. Re-attach grill and enjoy.

Awesome price, awesome service, and great experience. I must say I was apprehensive about repairing my refrigerator’s ice maker, but the pieces of plastic and the $150 estimate to repair the bad part helped to motivate me into action. I quickly found the part I needed on your website at a reasonable price and placed the order. I fully expected to wait 6 – 8 weeks for the part to arrive but to my great surprise it arrived in just two days! I maintained and repaired complex ordinance and missiles in the Air Force for 21 years but a couple of steps in the repair of this icemaker stymied me, until that is, I watched your repair video! What a wonderful resource that was, step-by-step instructions on the entire repair…. Armed with this resource a guy just can’t go wrong and in short order the repair was complete and I am back to crushing ice again. What a wonderful service you provide and I couldn’t be a happier customer. You folks at Partselect.com have your stuff together, keep up the good work.
