I watched the instructional video on the website. I found that my model was not exactly the same as the one in the video,completely removing the unit in order to switch parts was not possible or necessary.

Unplugged the fridge and removed the cover from the Icemaker control assembly. Then remove the three phillips head screws, remove the Icemaker control. put the new control in place and use the three screws removed in previous step, replace the cover and plug the fridge back in. in a few hours you will have some ice.

Replaced the icemaker control assembly and ice mold. Icemaker is working perfectly now. We replaced the ice mold (tray) because my husband read on the internet that the ice mold loses its nonstick coating and the ice sticks to the mold, and eventually burns out the control assembly.

I did exactly as the video showed. I popped out the old switch, disconnected the two terminals, connected the new switch and put it back. The light now works! The refrigerator is over 25 years old and the switch works! What a great website this is. Couldn't of done the job without Partselect's help.

The icemaker is in a side by side refrigerator/freezer with an auger driven ice bin dispenser, so space was limited. I first removed the ice bin but I couldn't see the three nuts holding the icemaker in place. I removed the ice bin support bracket (under the icemaker) using a Phillips head screw driver. Now the bottom nut holding the icemaker in place was easily visible and I was able to determine the size of nut driver I needed to completely remove it. Then I felt for the location of the top two nuts, slipped the nut driver on and loosened them. I was able to lift the icemaker off the top two nuts without completely removing them. Using a flat head screw driver, I pushed down the white tab holding the wiring harness connection to the icemaker and removed the harness, freeing the ice maker for complete removal. I did not need to replace the wiring harness, so I simply reversed the whole process to install the new icemaker. I am a 61 year old female with rheumatoid & degenerative arthritis and found this installation really easy, with the one exception of snapping the wiring harness connection into the new icemaker - I didn't have the thumb strength. I had to wait for a relative to come and snap the wiring harness connector into place for me. I also had to use some snips to cut out the plastic tab (scored) for the water feed to the icemaker but was able to complete the entire installation within 30 minutes.

Unplug the unit cord, remove 3 screws on the icemaker. Unhook the wiring harness from the refrigerator, remove the unit and reverse the order to install the new unit. Reinstall the on off bail, and the icemaker tray. Make sure that the unit is level after the new installation so that water does not spill out of the icemaker.

R and R parts

Removed the broken icemaker per instructions provided with the replacement part purchased. by Part Select. The whole procedure went very well and my new icemaker is working like a charm. I highly .recommend Part Select. Kitchenaid had discontinued making the the original icemaker and Part Select provide an OEM replacement that worked perfectly.

just like video very easy ! Thank you for the fast service and good information for installation.

Searched internet until I found a company(yours) with the part needed. Could not locate locally refrigerator too old. After finding"Part Select" site I watched the video provided. It was very instructive and helpful. I cancelled calling any repair service and did the repair myself. The part was delivered fast and I had no problems with the repair. Your confirmation e-mail of part being shipped again provided the video for the repair. I only watched again after the repair to check myself, all went well. My Ice maker is working great again and I consider this purchase money well spent. I was considering another refrigerator but will now keep the Kitchen aid longer, Thank you.

This was a little tricky because the part of the shelf that attaches into the door is much bigger than the slot. You have to be very careful that you do not break the insert tab. I first placed the bottom of the left support tab inside the slot of the door. I then used a flat screw driver and gently pried on the lower curved section until it was fully inserted inside the slot. I then repeated the same procedure on the right side. Then, I rotated the unit while at the same time pressing the upper tab inside the slot on the left. I repeated this on the right. With a little care and a lot of prayer, I was able to successfully insert the unit without breaking it. One note; the trim of the piece did not match the trim of my old one. However, the fit of the part is exact. I will be the only person in the house to notice the difference.

Just removed old ice maker which took about 2 minutes. installed new ice maker in about two minutes. Simple and easy install.

I found the part I needed at parts select and followed the video on their web site. They have a very informative web site, it made my job easy. I highly recommend this company.
