K9TREFFWMS01 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

Not a repair, only a new part.

I noticed that the refrigerator was having trouble maintaining temperature. Thought it might be time for new one until I found out that a new frig was $5k to $7K. Just happened to notice that the light switch didn't look quite right (was not sitting sqaure to the door). Once I pressed it it came loose. I then realized the the lights were staying on (50 watts of heating). Replaced the switch and the frig started working like new.

Unplug appliance. Socket wrench to unscrew two screws. Module drops down. disconnected two press-on wires by prying off with screwdriver. Removed old switch. Press-fit new switch. Reconnected two wires (color coded). Screwed module back in place. Plug in appliance.

My husband took the plastic cover off and took out old bulb and screwed in the new one. Then put the cover back on.

pulled the old one out and put the new one in.

My owners manual said to unplug fridge from elec outlet, use a kitchen knife to gently pry off the switch plate
(manual had a pictoral example), unclip the two wire, replace with on new switch and replace the switch. Close
door and plug back in. Open door to check that the lite
works. Walla! It did. Thanks!

Popped the old one out with a kitchen knife and popped the new one back in. It tool less than 15 seconds!!

I pried the old one out with a screw driver and pushed the new one in. I expected instructions in the box it came in but there were none.

Took the old one off and put the new one on. I did it myself and didn't need my husband or a repair man... Thanks for sending it so fast... Ruth Mccullough

Followed the instructions as you said, and the You-Tube was priceless. Great idea. And thanks the refer works great.

remove fiber grill cover, remove large bolt holding under frame ( with a 2X4 block, place under refrigerator on outside edge so frame can drop down.) remove pin from broken wheel, replace reversing proceedure. Note: when blocking refrigerator, care must be taken not to let block extend under entire frame. it only needs to be placed approx 3/4" under edge of refrigerator.

The repair was very easy, unplug ref. open freezer door, and remove base plate, then remove screws on back plate. I had to tilt top of back plate to remove from freezer. This gives you access to the evap. fan Pull of the three wires, and remove screws from fan bracket, which bolts to the back of ref. Remove fan motor from bracket (2) screws, remove motor, and put replacement motor on bracket, pull fan blade off old unit and push on new motor shaft. Reverse the installation, and you are done. Pretty easy.

Removed the 2 screws on the panel at the back of the freezer compartment. Removed the air tower from the back panel. Removed aground wire and a wire plug from th back panel and removed the panel from the freezer compartment. Removed the 2 screws holding the fan motor and motor brackets to the back wall of the freezer. Compressed the bracket tabs on the motor bracket and removed the motor from the brackets. Removed the ground wire and the electrical wire connections from the motor. Installed the new motor in the reverse order, reassembled the motor brackets, reinstalled the back panel and the air tower into the freezer compartment and pluged inthe refrigerator and turned on the temperature control. Fridge running perfect.
