KBFA25ERWH00 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

Replaced ice maker assembly, 5 screws out, unplug the wire, take some attachments off the old ice maker and put it on the new one, plug it in, 5 screws in...done. I did have to take a mirror to see how to unclip the wire, which turned out to be the hardest part of the whole job..

It was easy and my daughter did most of the work while I assisted.
Removed contents from freezer, unplugged refrigerator, shut off water to ice maker. Used hairdryer to thaw inside, placed ice catcher in sink to thaw. Removed defective ice maker and transferred trip lever and wire bundle to new unit. Installed new unit, bent mounting bracket located on bottom of new unit so that when installed the ice maker is horozontally level. Plugged refrig in and turned on water. Water does not come in right away as the temp probably has to be restored to freezing level before things start to work....so just let it run. In the morning lots of nice cubes and no leaks...hooray!

Had to remove the ice-maker (also easier than trying to work inside the freezer letting all the cold air out). A few mounting screws and an electrical connection in the back. After it was out you will need to remove the cover (not the superficial cover that just pries off) where the gear is behind it, just far enough so you can get the mounting tabs on the ice-stripper in. In order to to move this cover out, after removing the screws (the obvious), you'll need needle nose pliers to ever so slightly squeeze the plastic clips together that hold the plastic movable bracket and the metal ice level arm/switch, so it will pop out. Once you have room to put the ice stripper in, it should just all snap back together, then proceed in reverse to put it all back together.

I had several times tried to get the old switch out but with no success. Ordered the "repair kit" and followed directions for removing old switch (there is a plastic spring clip on one side). Easy to unplug the old switch, plug the leads into the new one, snap the new one into place. Took about 5 minutes total--piece of cake. I wish I'd thought to try this years ago when the old switch began to fail.

Removed mounting screws
Disconnected file hose
Flipped unit over to remove connecter
(This was the only difficult operation; unpluging & pluging it in)
New part fit was very good
Reversed the disassembly order to install
New assembly had to cycle a while to produce ice cubes. I'm very happy now, so bring on the hot weather.

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!

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

Similar to other reports. Only thing I can add is the nut driver is 1/4" and it is all I needed to remove and replace all five screws.

Followed on line instructions. Instructions were very helpful. The part was an exact replacement. Everything went as planned.

Followed the Video, and it went almost as the video, except for the rails for the ice tub, so instead of the nut driver, had to use an open end 1/4" wrench. Now its a working with lots a ice....

I received the new icemaker the next day after I had ordered it. After watching the video on how to install the icemaker I installed it within a few minutes which I really surprised myself since this was my first repair job to do by myself. The new ice maker has been working great and I am very pleased with partselect and will continue to contact you when I am in need of any parts. Thank you, betty
