KBFS20ETSS01 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

After watching the video witch was GREAT help THANK YOU

remove the screw on the right side (about 3). remove the screws holding onto the slider. disconnect the right side panel and bring the panel all the way forward so that the part connected to the rear of the refrigerator comes loose. replace new panel and put parts back together in reverse.

The Amana's Ice Maker mounted against the back wall. I'm a 61 year old female that ordered this to help my aging parents. The wire harness only unplugged from the Ice Maker and was hard wired to the Frig. I had to "blindly" try to depress and release the harness clip and that took most of the time. When putting in the new ice maker, I noticed that the opening for the fill tube was now against the wall and not to the back. So, I had to disconnect it again. I found that it is also made for a side right fill by cutting out a perforated tab. Just to make sure there wasn't an overflow out of the other round hole, I used silver tape to plug the hole. It took two hours after plugging back in the frig and turning on the water supply before it made ice.

Kids complaint no ice and smelled like burned plastic,found ice maker melted,Replaced ice maker assembly,used existing harness not supplied with new unit,ice maker still no ice,verified an open at fuse link,installed inline fuse in place of existing fuse link.I was told harness not available.Harness section should be on new unit.Hint Hint!

Ordered replacement icemaker from PartSelect.com. Upon receipt of part installed part as per the online video. All went well. Whirlpool rep. stated that the icemake works well when the freezer temp. is set at 10 degrees or less.It took appreximately 24 hrs.for the icemaker to fill the bucket with fresh ice. It would hace cost approximately $230.00 or more if I had called a Service rep. to do the job. So I elected to do it myself.

well, my problem was the dual water valve. I check the two water valve connectors, one was good ( yellow ) and the other connector (brown) was bad. I tested them both with an ohms meter, of course all power was off. I think when ever there's a problem with not receiving ICE this should be done before replacing the ice-maker for there's a lot of things going on in this area. The Brown Connector releases the water into the ice-tray (that tested Bad with a reading of 257 from ohms meter,and the yellow had a sound from ohms for full contact a good reading. The brown valve was bad.

piece of cake to repair - great instructions!!

We had an Appliance Repair service come to fix, and they replaced the ice maker and the water valve, but ice maker was still not performing properly. We use RO water to fill the ice maker and because the water was also going through the charcoal cartridge, there wasn't enough water pressure to completely fill the tray. Plus charcoal filter was probably clogged. The original Blue Bypass Cap was nowhere to be found and I even called Kitchenaid to get one. They were of no help. But found your site, and found the part I needed. And best of all, ice maker is not jamming and is now making real ice cubes, not hollow, thin ones. And the water dispenser is now working too, so am very happy that such a small thing, fixed the big problem. Who knows, a clogged charcoal filter may have been the whole problem from the start.

I removed the end cap from the refrigerator by taking out three phillips head screws. Two additional screws were removed to demount the drawer track and remount it on the new molding. The new molding was re-attached to the refrigerator wall and now the cheese drawer has a functional cover. Very easy.

The unit has two fans on it. One is located in the back and the other is locate inside the freezer section behind the panel. Remove the four bolts holding the door to the sliding rack. Remove the ice machine. Remove the back panel. Noticed that the fan was covered in ice thus shorting the fan motor. Tested for voltage to the fan was good. Replaced evaporator fan motor and unit works perfectly

I unscrewed the old filter and screwed the new filter in the way the instructions said. I have done this before with no problems. Easy fix.

I removed the cover on the water dispenser and replaced the parts with new parts ordered. The switch corrected the problem.

TAKE NOTE HOW OLD GASKET IS ORIENTED!!!old gasket can be removed by starting to pull out at top left hand corner, there is just enough space behind hinged door flap to put a finger behind the gasket and moving down and behind the flap remove gasket from it's slot, once you reach the bottom of the door the rest of the gasket is very easily removed. If new gasket is deformed in shipping, use a hair dryer to help staighten. Loop new gasket over shelf inside door. start at top left corner and continue inserting gasket into it's slot all the way round.

Screwed new filter in

Watching the video made this dead easy. If I had a newer refrigerator, I suspect it would have taken 10 minutes. Since I have an older 'fridge, I ran into two issues not in the PartSelect video. First - there were no "clips" to slip the icemaker into/out of, the unit was screwed directly into the freezer wall. Kinda hard to see the screws, especially the one in front, but not a big problem. Second - there is a wire-harness clip at the back side of the icemaker, that hooks onto the ledge of the back connector, just under the screw. That clip had slipped, and until I figured that out and reseated it, it made getting to the rear screw wit the nutdriver a serious pain. Other than those two issues, though, the job was exactly as easy as the video makes it look!
