KBRA22KRBL01 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

We tried repairing with a new switch which was very easy to install but it didn't fix the problem.

Replaced valve on back of freezer and replaced the ice maker tray. Took about 20 minutes and had new ice cubes 1/2 hour later. It's working like it did when it was new

First off I had no idea how a fridge worked or where to begin and the troubleshooting section of the manual was a joke. So I took the back panel off made sure the coils underneath were clean. Took out the back panel of the freezer and made sure that nothing was frozen over and I hadn't seen excess water on the floor so ruled that out. I knew the condenser was still running so I took a shot in the dark. Ordered the part and waited for it to arrive. It took me 3 minutes to open the box and install it. Immediately knew it was working replaced the back panel and moved the fridge back.

Pulled out broken part, slid in new one, put drawers back in. Works great. Website to find and order part was super easy to use and part came quickly. Two thumbs up.

Clean off the glass shelf, remove drawers and shelf, pop in replacement rail, put everything back in fridge. Replacing the part is the easy part, what I would like to know is why this is the second one I have had to buy this year. There must be a problem with the replacement parts that they break so easily. This time, I bought 2, so that i have a spare - fortunately, the price is reasonable.

Removed the drawers and shelf with glass t.op and center rail, installed new one (popped out and popped new one in). Took all of 5 minutes. Easy to order on line. Should use usps for shipping it is cheaper.

The instruction video was so helpful. I watched it before I ordered the part to be sure I was able to make the repair. The replacement part arrived quicker than I expected. Cleaning the shelf & bins was the most time consuming part of the job. The replacement part fit in place perfectly. My fridge is good as new again!

This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.

I watched the on line you tube video on how to DIY. The putty knife worked to pop out the switch. I used the standar screwdriver to unplug the switch from the wire harness. Then plug in the new switch and pop it back in to the roof of the freezer. Tip: watch out when ordering the new switch - the freezer switch is different than the refrigerator switch. The freezer has three prongs. The fridge has two. I initially ordered the wrong part and added a week to the repair time and had to pay shipping to return the first switch.
