KBFA20ERWH01 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

Easy

Just replaced a water/ice filter..

After receiving the new part almost immediately,using two screw drivers, removed the broken switch from the plastic frame. Be careful not to scratch or otherwise tear the plastic...very pliable. Since the original switch was factory installed and the wires were packed in fiberglass insulation, the switch came out but the wires and clips were still in place and could not reach the new switch. It was necessary to pull them down with bent long nose pliers...used a lot of "pull" but the wires held up.Connected the switch, turned the power on and there was light! Reports from other users really took the uncertainty out of the task.

Opened up the compartment where the old filter was located, twisted it to take it out (be careful not to spill water in the filter!), and installed the new one. Even a 64 year old woman had no trouble!

Removed the left hing side and replaced it

replaced electric control board, defrost for six hours. next day (24 hours) same problem, dusterhoff2928@charter.net

Removed Ice bin, remove rails on left side that hold ice bin. Remove one screw holding ice maker to refrigerator wall,then lift ice maker off holding screws. Unplug wire harness from back of refrigerator. Remove wire harness and loading wire from old ice maker and install on new unit. Re-install new ice maker by reversing steps. Videos where very helpful.

Simply stick a putty knife between the switch and refrig wall. Pop out old swith, remove both wires by pulling off switch by terminals. Throw switch out. Put wires on new switch and push into slot and all done. Nothing to it! Took me 5 minutes if th

piece of cake to repair - great instructions!!

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.

Water was leaking from the water inlet valve.Valve distributes water to the ice maker and water dispenser.Removed the old valve by disconnecting the water lines and electrical fittings.Removed the panel from which it was mounted to.Only four or five screws held the panel on.Matched up the part with the photo and the part number.make sure you shut your water supply to the fridge prior to removing and also you can keep the fridge running while you are doing this and while waiting for the new water valve.Very easy repair with basic tools.Pex water lines can be removed and installed without tools.Just press the collar on the water fitting down and pull the water line out.when reinstalling lines into the new valve,push line all the way in and the pull out to set the collar.

I removed the end cap from the refrigerator by taking out three phillips head screws. Two additional screws were removed to demount the drawer track and remount it on the new molding. The new molding was re-attached to the refrigerator wall and now the cheese drawer has a functional cover. Very easy.

The unit has two fans on it. One is located in the back and the other is locate inside the freezer section behind the panel. Remove the four bolts holding the door to the sliding rack. Remove the ice machine. Remove the back panel. Noticed that the fan was covered in ice thus shorting the fan motor. Tested for voltage to the fan was good. Replaced evaporator fan motor and unit works perfectly

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.

TAKE NOTE HOW OLD GASKET IS ORIENTED!!!old gasket can be removed by starting to pull out at top left hand corner, there is just enough space behind hinged door flap to put a finger behind the gasket and moving down and behind the flap remove gasket from it's slot, once you reach the bottom of the door the rest of the gasket is very easily removed. If new gasket is deformed in shipping, use a hair dryer to help staighten. Loop new gasket over shelf inside door. start at top left corner and continue inserting gasket into it's slot all the way round.
