KBLC36FTS06 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed the old one and installed the new one

Removed old water filter by simply twisting the the cap that houses it at the bottom of the refrigerator and replaced with new water filter. No fuss, no muss! Very impressed. Also, I was quite pleased to have received the water filter that was designed specifically for the whirlpool model that I own. I expected to receive some generic-type model based upon the reasonable price that I paid. Kudos to partselect!

I have never before seen a bulb with the filament intact not light. If the bulb's filament seems intact, screw the bulb into a known working lamp and see if it lights. When screwing it back into the socket in the fridge, it takes a bit of extra effort to fully seat (until it does, it won't light!). For replacing the switch, I unplugged the unit, used a paint scraper and worked it under the switch bezel from the right side. A bit of moxie, and the switch came out. The replacement switch had a different spade contact spacing than the original. I used a pair of scissors to cut the rubber bridge between the two switch wire connectors so I could connect to the new switch. In the end, it turned out to be the bulb. NOTE: The Model TC18KL is _not_ listed! What I finally found that the number "P7803211WL" on the sticker is actually a manufacturing code. Found this out by searching, and Sears' part search came up with matches.

No instructions with part. Found a picture on line and changed the arm, but it didn't fix the problem. Fairly easy after figured out what needed to be done to get to the part.

Viewed the viedo - it showed what to do

The repair (really replacement) took less than 2 minutes. You press a button to pop out the old filter and stick the new one in. Easy as pie.

Popped out the old filter from the refrigerator bottom. Removed new filter from the box and pulled off the end caps. Put the end cap on the new filter, aligned the filter( it will only go in one way) with alignment slides and pushed the filter in until I heard it (click) into place. Pushed in the water dispenser tab for a few seconds, but nothing happened. So I waited until the next day and pushed the dispenser in and water flowed out. Repeated this process until the water ran clear. Turned the ice maker back on and a few hours later ice was popping out. Wife's happy, I'm a hero!

followed the video as instructed. Saved two repairman calls, one to find the problem, one to install. Net savings was about $130.00

Told Wife To Watch The Instructional Movie, Got Me A Beer And Watched Football. She Finished In about Thirty Minutes.Good Job

With new cap, align slots on cap with grooves on water filter, and snap in place. Easy.

Ordered the replacement filter cap. Received it, cut open plastic shipping envelope after unsuccessful attempts to tear envelope by hand, snapped cap in place; Wallaah, project completed successfully!!!

Just had to take the old one out and put the new one in. No problem.

Pulled old filter out with needle nose pliers, installed new cap on new filter pushed in till clicked in place. Flushed per instructions on filter.

Got the main bolts off and unplugged and removed the ice maker. Had to remove all parts and rebuild it on the new mold. Was more complex than I thought but was able to get it done. Note where everything was as you take it off and you'll do fine.

Order new filter cap and filter ,remove old filter, follow instructions be sure to push new filter hard until it clicks!!
