KBFS25ETSS01 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

ok, this is a no-brainer even for the technically challenged. Three screws and voila replaced and cranking out ice. Couple of pointers, some parts from your old unit will be needed (3 screws, ice level bar, and ice maker cover). Turn off electrical and water prior to installing. Flat tip screwdriver required. Part came within 5 days.

Getting the screws out that held the unit in place was easy but getting the wires disconnected was difficult. Not knowing how it unplugged it took some time figuring it out. I purchased the new unit after I got the old one out, if I would have purchased it first I would have see how it unplugged. When I received the new icemaker it was NOT and exact match so before I modified the water funnel I contacted part-select and they said if I modify the unit it will NOT void my warrantee. I took a knife and cut the end to make room for the hose and I plugged up the open side. I installed the new one turned it on and 3 hours later no leaks and fresh ice. Now I’m a happy guy.

Was really, really easy - wish I had done it months ago!! Removed the crisper drawers and then the glass shelf above the tray drawer. Took out drawer and then had to remove 3 screws to loosen the cap from the wall. Had a few small plastic pieces to take off (thermostat stuff), but all in all took about 10 minutes. Only reason I put down longer is that I cleaned up the whole inside of the fridge while I was there!

had to remove all drawers, once removed used nut driver to remove three screws. then removed the rail that holds the drawer. used nut driver again to remove rail from the original to mount the rail to the new bracket. Slide in holding brackets in front and back had to be removed, Then we had to do some wiping down and cleaning from spills that we had not seen. Installed the re-assembled bracket. installed the braces in front and back, installed the glass plate then re-installed the drawers. - took longer than I expected but worked fine.- weak point on the bracket is the pin that allows the door to pivot up/down.

Unplugged cable remove 3 ea 1/4" head size sheet metal svrews with nut driver.

Remove old cable plug into new unit.

Remove wire bar assy install on new unit.

Remove and install old front cover on new unit.

Plug cable into frezzer outlet.

Install new unit in freezer with the 3 screws.

Wait till unit cycles and celebrate your craftmanship with an iced drink....

Easily removed part. It took a bit more ingenuity to figure how to take off and reattach temp bar for salad drawer; but it is easily doable. I loved the company as they had the part to me in less than 2 days at a reasonable cost to repair the item.

I removed 3 nutscrews that held the part in place - popped it out and installed the new part.

No tools needed, just popped the old one out and slid the new one in.

VERY EASY!!!

The other comments were very useful. After removing the screws, I was able to turn the ice maker assembly enough to reach the electrical harness. This was not easy and required removing the plate at the rear of the compartment. Once removed, replacing with the new ice maker was very easy.

Pretty basic disassembly and reassembly with only 3 screws involved. Difficulty unplugging wiring harness due to minimal slack to work with.

The most difficult part of the repair was removing the old ice maker. Removing the three mounting screws was easy, but unpluging the electrical was more difficult as there was no extra length in the wiring harness to allow access. Therefore it was necessary to remove the mounting bracket in order to be able to get the harness in position to disconnect it. Still couldn't see that it had a retaining clip, this was only known by looking at pictures of replacement hartnesses. Once the harness was disconnected, the old ice maker was out. The new icemaker was almost the same as the old one except for having to take the water inlet off the old one and install it on the new ice maker. (no instructions on how to do this, just had to wing it). Once this was done the new ice maker was installed in about 5 minutes.

The swap was quite easy. All I had to do was remove 3 nuts and unplug the flat wire connector. I kept the old unit when I took it out in case I needed any parts, but the only thing I needed to transfer over was the Ice level wire. Very straightforward!

Used new icemaker assembly removing the existing
wiring harness from old unit and using it in the new
assembly unit. All in all very easy.

removed shelvings and drawers. Removed broken side panel with nut driver (3 screws), removed attached parts fron old unit and mounted on new unit and reinstalled everything.

I had to remove the end cap inside the fridge since the peg holding the pantry door broke. It was really easy to repair but the tempurature adjuster gave me a little bit of trouble. However, the diagrams on this web site made the whole thing really easy to understand and I got the repair complete myself in about 20 minutes! Excellent parts supplier!
