KTRS25QABL11 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

I removed the 3 screws but also removed the front screw of the left bin rail. This gave more room to maneuver I/M into position. The cover shown with the enclosed instructions does not show an Ice Plus (blower assy.). By removing the two mounting clips fron old unit and snapping on new one blower unit fits as original. Overall a very simple and quick repair. Note: None of the cables Inclosed were used as my harness does not unplug from wall. Thanks for the quick service PartsSelect.

watched the installation video twice and took my time to make sure all parts were put back together in the right order

Moved fridge out from wall, unplugged power cord. Laid on floor, removed 6 screws from cover. Removed one threaded bolt to allow assembly to slide out. Removed special nut, and took fan off. Removed 3 motor mounting bolts. Unscrewed 2 wire nuts, and untwisted wires. (option 1, no ground) Vacuumed entire area around motor. Used 3 bolts to mount motor to holder assembly, and special nut to install fan. Stripped wires back about 3/4 inch. Twisted two wires together CW, and installed new wire nuts. Slid motor assembly back into slot,(keep wires away from blades) and used one threaded bolt to secure assembly. Reinstalled cover plate with 6 screws. Plugged power cord in to test air flow (out through cover vents). Moved fridge back into place. The loud whirring noise did not stop for a day; then quiet!

Turned off circuit breaker. That turns off both power and water. No need to move refrigerator. I backed out the 2 top screws about a quarter inch and then removed bottom screw with a quarter inch nut driver. I then lifted Ice Maker clear of the two top screws and lowered it enough to unclip the power connection. The new Ice Maker was wired correctly for my refrigerator so all I had to do was reconnect the power connection and mount new Ice Maker on the two top screws and install the bottom screw. It took about two hours for the new Ice Maker to start it's cycle but after it did, it worked GREAT. Part Select service was OUTSTANDING, ordered part one day and received it in two days and I live in a very remote location. Recommend PartSelect to everyone.

I followed the video on the web site. Easy squeezy.

Should have. . . . Just taken the ice maker out in the first place . . . . When I saw no ice I assumed the timer was bad. . . Replaced it. . Then when that didn't fix it again assumed that water valve was bad. . . . Replace that also to no avail. . . . Finally took out the ice maker and saw that the heater had stopped working cuz there was still ice stuck in it. . Replaced ice maker. . . All good. . . The water valve I replaced was a good thing cuz you can definatley tell the difference. . . . Anyway. . . Fixed!

Online I learned how to diagnose the problem and order the part I needed. Replacement was simple and now we have ice. It works perfect, no adjustments needed.

Simply done !

Very easy to replace. Disconnect water line. remove 2 screws pull out filler tube. replace with new one.

Spent six hours melting the ice berg, twenty minutes cleaning things up and ten minutes replacing the ice maker. The video was great the only piece of information that was missing was a statement that it may that several hours for ice to be produced. Thanks for the prompt and courteous support during ordering, a good product and support video.

I order the suspect part before pulling out the ice tray and whole ice maker for inspection. As it turns out my ice tray was peeling and all gunked up and I needed a new one. I suggest in the case of ice maker issues that you pull the entire ice maker before ordering what appears to be the troubled part. I had to replace the whole ice maker which was not really that much more money than just the part.

Unplug the refrigerator. Remove the rear shelf supports by lifting them straight up. No tools required. Remove the screws holding the rear cover of the freezer. Use a nut driver to remove the 4 screws holding the fan housing. Unplug the wiring harness, then remove the fan and install the new one. Remount the housing, plug in the harness replace the rear cover, install the shelf supports and plug in the refrigerator. It was 30 minutes start to finish, which includes the time to gather the tools, unload and reload the freezer, and putting the tolls away!
