KBFA20ERBL00 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

Rmoval and replacement is not at all complicated. (1)Reach behind and to the left of the icemaker and release the power plug. There is a release snap on th side of the plug. (2)Using a 1/4" nut driver remove the screw holding the icemaker to the "L" bracket at the bottom of the icemaker. (3)Using the nut driver loosen two self taping screws holding the top of the icemaker to the side of the freezer compartment.(4)Lift up on the icemaker to remove it. (5)remove the white plastic cover from the front of the icemaker (pry out at the bottom) and snap it onto the new icemaker. (6)Remove the wire sensor arm from the old icemaker and place it on the new one. (7) Remove the cable assembly (plug) from the old icemaker and fasten it to the new one. (8)Secure the new icemaker in place using the reverse order as the removal. The icemaker will take a little longer to make its first batch of ice as it will have to attain its proper operating temp (0 degrees to 2 degrees F).

Followed your internet instructions. Saved $1200!!

I ordered the grill without listening to the advise given by the operator and ended up reordering the correct part. Ya just gotta listen to the people who know or else. But The order was filled in record time with absolute perfection and the instalation went fgast and easy. Now, my wife is a very happy camper... thanks to the very kind, helpfull and professional folks at PartSelect. Lamont.

It looked so complicated, the mechanism that is, but all we had to do was remove the drawers above and unscrew the end cap replacing it with the new on we received from PartSelect. Piece of cake. The part was cheaper by $15.00 than we could have purchased it through our local dealer and we didn't have to pay for a service call.

Super easy to order, arrived the very next day and the part fit in perfectly - would highly recommend to others.

Logged in to internet, for whatever reason I selected your site. Good choice! Entered the model number and selected the symtems identical to my refrig. Ordered the recommended parts, (Relay and Start Capacitor), to solve the problem. Reviewed the remove and install video. Received parts as promised by del date. Installed parts under 15 minutes, Frig kicked in and frig has been working beautiful. Avoided all those added expenses of; home service check, amount of days in- shop repair, plus parts and overhead charges. Will recommend site to my friends.

Since I had more than one issue, I decided to replace the entire ice maker. All I needed was a nut driver and it took 5 minutes. Three hex screws and unplug the wire harness and the whole unit came out. I changed the harness over and installed the new unit. I left for work and came home to ICE. It was Great!!!

initial research suggested that relay is common failure point -opened back panel and found that relay was "truly smoked" - black soot came out when I removed it and shook it also checked that the compressor itself wasnt damaged using the resistance check across pins and also from pin to outer cover - determined that the compressor seemed OK and fault likely isolated to relay - - overload cap seemed to be ok - but decided to replace entire unit (relay and cap) - ordered on partselect.com - video showing how easy repair was very helpful - replaced it - and DONE!

1. Viewed the video furnished (very helpful) 2. Turned off circuit breaker (avoids having to move the refrigerator), took my chances and left the water on 3. Removed the ice bin 4. Removed bottom retention screw, loosened the top two screws 5. Lifted the old ice maker free of top two screws 6. Used the bright flashlight to see how to release the rear electrical connection 7. Placed old unit on toweling, removed the electrical harness, the bail and the lower retention offset bracket (needed because the Kenmore's bottom retention is toward the center of the ice maker) and reinstalled them on new unit, taking care to maintain the original harness clip method 8. Carried the new unit to the refrig and installed the rear harness connector, then lifted it to mount on the top screws, forced it down to correct position, installed lower screw and tightened all three. 9. Placed bail in 'Operate' position, Installed bin and turned on the power. 10. Next morning, success!

Removed both vegetable and fruit drawers, removed glass that sits on top of the pantry drawer, drawer lid and drawer. Unscrewed the left and right side pantry end caps. Careful with the right side end cap, it is connected to a air regulator on the back wall of the refrigerator. Took it off slowly to pay attention to how it came off and not to break anything. Unscrewed the slide rail's off the broken end caps and screwed them on to the new pieces. The left end cap screwed in with three screws and your done! The right end cap needed the air regulator clipped on and then gently snapped the slider in place, screwed the end cap on. I did notice there is a small tab that the end cap mounts evenly on close to the front of the refrigerator wall. Backed out the two screws lined up the end cap with the tab, screwed in the three screws. Put the pantry drawer, glass, lid, vege & fruit drawers back and it was done.

Removed fill tube and replaced it with new.

You just take the back panel off (8 screws with hex heads), disconnect one wire harness, pull off the relay, and push on the new one. Easy peasy. Getting the wires off was the only tricky part, they clip in place so you have to pry the retaining clip loose. Unfortunately, it turns out our compressor is shot so replacing the relay did not fix the problem.

removed the back cover unplugged the unit removed the old fan blades installed the new easy to pull off and easy to install

My 8 year old Maytag side-by-side started having a buzzing sound coming from the compressor area that lasted around 8 to 10 seconds which was followed by a "click" sound. It would repeat every 3 minutes or so. From what I read, the Overload/Relay with Start Capacitor was the likely culprit. I got it replaced tonight but unfortunately, the same problem is occurring. The downside is I likely have a bad compressor (not worth replacing after cost of parts and labor) and wasted $60 on the Overload/Relay with Start Capacitor. Partselect's service though I would say is top notch. I received the part within two days of placing the order and my order confirmation email even had a link to a youtube video detailing the installation. That was very helpful. I just wish I was looking at a $60 fix vs a grand for a new fridge! Oh well, live and learn....and no more Maytag.

It was greqat to find this part so easily and to be able to buy just the glass shelf without added hardware. When it arrived, I just unpacked it, washed it and put it into its place in the refrigerator. Much easier than the cleanup of the shattered glass :-)
