broken tray rail
this was an easy repair. most of the work involved emptying the regrigerator so the shelf bracket could be removed and replaced. acual repair only took 10 minutes. Next time I clean the erfrigeratoe I will be more carefull with the shelves so nothing gets broken. Orereing from your web site was very easy, and having the model number, I'm sure, also helped. very fast delivery on the part I needed

Automatic ice maker was not working properly
We had an Appliance Repair service come to fix, and they replaced the ice maker and the water valve, but ice maker was still not performing properly. We use RO water to fill the ice maker and because the water was also going through the charcoal cartridge, there wasn't enough water pressure to completely fill the tray. Plus charcoal filter was probably clogged. The original Blue Bypass Cap was nowhere to be found and I even called Kitchenaid to get one. They were of no help. But found your site, and found the part I needed. And best of all, ice maker is not jamming and is now making real ice cubes, not hollow, thin ones. And the water dispenser is now working too, so am very happy that such a small thing, fixed the big problem. Who knows, a clogged charcoal filter may have been the whole problem from the start.

The Ice and water filter was old. Had to replace.
I unscrewed the old filter and screwed the new filter in the way the instructions said. I have done this before with no problems. Easy fix.

The tab that holds the lid over the bottom deli door broke off and the lid would not stay in place
I removed the bottom drawer, the two upper drawers and the glass that covered the lower drawer. Took three screws out of the left side pantry end cap and replaced it with the new part. New end cap in place, put the drawers back in, put the cover back on and it works like a charm.

Pantry cover hinge broke
Repair was helped by reading what others shared with similar issue helped a lot. First remove all bins and glass pane. Use the nut driver to remove three screws that hold the pantry. Be careful while removing it from refrigerator. There a an vent control that clips onto back side of refrigerator and attaches to pantry end cap. Remove this piece, be careful as not to break it. This piece ( the guts) attaches to the slide piece that attaches to the controller, remove carefully by turning it to align the slot tab. Then remove the pantry sliders by two screws by using your nut driver. Reverse these steps for reinstall. Then place completed unit into refrigerator, by clipping the back vent control, don't forget the square foam gasket. Then slide the pantry end cap into place, pay attention to the front of the end cap as you may need to slide into the clip to lock in place. Then screw in the three screws, careful not to tighten to much, as it might crack.

Refrig door lights began flashing and the ice maker door began to cycle every 5-10 seconds
Called the repairman. He told me it was $80.00 to come look at it and determine what was wrong. I told him what was wrong but he told me that he would have to check it and then they would send a repairman to fix it. Total phone repair estimate if I was right was $450.00 to ?. I went ahead and ordered the part from PartSelect even though I have zero expertise in this kind of repair. The part arrived in two days. With trepidation, I pulled the refrig away from the wall, unpluged the electric, and removed the cover plate on the back (10"x10" bright metal plate).I Followed the directions that were sent and replaced the board. Total time for this part of the job was 15 minutes. Programming the board was a little harder for me and it took me about an hour to figure it out. Well worth what little effort it actually took, $300 bucks in my pocket not the repair guy's.

Deli drawer pin broke
I was skeptical when others said it took about 5 minutes to do this repair, but they were right. The hardest part is emptying the fridge enough to get drawers out. After that it's a matter of removing a few screws, and putting the new piece in. Really simple!
