KGF-4 Caloric Refrigerator - Instructions

The disassembly was fairly easy. Just remove the three screws with a 1/4 inch nutdriver. There are two above and one below the icemaker assembly. Then disconnect the power wiring harness from the back of the motor/timer assembly.
Re-installation is just the reverse and is made much easier if you can remember where you put the screws after waiting a day or two for the replacement to arrive!

Replaced entire unit. Producing cubes

I removed the three screws that held it into place.
The only problem that I had was getting the wire
harness off of the old Ice Maker. After that it was
a breeze. The wire harness snapped right on to
the new Ice Maker Assembly it was great.

Removed one screw that held the unit in place. Took a few minutes to determine how to disengage the unit from the plastic clips. The most difficult part was disconnecting the electrical cable.but in less than 30 minutes the new unit was in place and filled with water to start forming ice.

Pried out ice blade bar and removed broken water fill cup and replaced with new one.The whole repair costs $9.52 So I saved $ 190 over the cost of Appliance man visit!
It would have been $150& $50 for visit to replace ice maker unit.

Replaced the ice maker ass'y,for me it was easy as i have been a mechanic all my life however there was'nt any instructions with the new ice maker to explain about moving the control arm from old to new and as mine was stuck in the motor end it would have been nice to know how much force could be applied to free arm

Ice maker was leaking water into the bin causing it to freeze together. To repair I purchased a new Ice Maker part no PS2121513 for $101.00. I used the repair video to find out how to replace the part, the video was very helpful and enabled me to replace the ice maker in under 30 minutes. Once the new part was installed I waited 2 hours for it to start making ice, before the ice maker can operate the bi metal thermostat has to reach approx 14 degrees F. This can take longer than an hour so you have to be patient. I checked mine with a volt meter probes inserted in the T and H test points on the front of the timer assembly. If you read a voltage of 110/120 volts it means the thermostat has not closed. If it takes more than 4 hours it could mean a bad connection so turn off the power and recheck the plug in harness connections. If you do not have a meter you can feel behind the timer with your fingers to see if the ice maker cup or bowl has water or ice in it. Turn off the power first.

I just removed the bottom screw, then the top 2 screws on the ice maker after shutting off the water line and unplugging the refrigerator first. The ice maker was gently allowed to lay down as i unplugged the wiring harness on the inside back of the freezer. I took the wiring harness off the broken unit by pushing the little tab down and gently pulling the harness plug. Of course, you have to get the cover off first, gently using a screw driver to get the cover past the tabs. Then just plug the old wiring harness into the new one. The most difficult part is laying down on the floor and plugging the wiring harnes back in and getting the ice maker screwed back in. My new icemaker had a bent angle connector so I had to use the old one so the hole would line up. Also, a flashlight is helpful since the refrigerator is unplugged. Also, I put my ice cream in a picnic cooler with the old ice, in case it took longer than I thought it would. Really, though, anyone who can lay on the floor and is used to taking things apart and putting them back together will find this pretty easy and take less than a half hour.

Followed the video and in less than thirty minutes the new icemaker was installed and in under an hour we had ice!

Had I not confused the old ice maker with the new one and tried to reinstall the old ice again I would have been done in less than 15 minutes. The instructions were clear and helpful, the parts all fit and it went right in. It worked within a few minutes and has been perfect since. Thanks

Followed the tutorial on the site and it was spot on. had the same problem as most- dirt in the ice, and then it stopped altogether. was well worth the $100 for the info/parts. would do it again in a second

First, I read about 15 descriptions of this repair on your web site. Then I carefully attempted the job. I found that, as others said, the most difficult part of the replacement was the electrical connection, both unplugging and plugging it back in to the replacement part. The icemaker did not seem to function at first, so I removed the part and made sure I had fully inserted the plug into the receptacle. This took far less time than the initial removal and replacement. It began to work fine, and is really an easy job- just makes a person nervous w/o directions, etc.

Checked on the web site and followed the guidelines.
Was a real smooth job with the exception of the freezer door. This model is a lower freezer model and I did not remove the door, thus had to work over it. Other than that it was a piece of cake.

bought a new ice maker (D7824706Q) and it was delivered in about two days. ordering was super easy but not as easy as the install of the ice maker. i simply removed the three hex head screws, two on top and one on bottom. unplugged the ice maker, removed front cover to remove plug(you must reuse), remove shut off arm off old ice maker. plugged plug back on new ice maker,put shut off arm on new icemaker. plugged new icemaker to frig and reinstalled the 3 hex head screws. it really took less than 15 mins.

I had an idea on how to do the repair, because I had removed the icemaher already. I watched the video on the website just to be sure of what I was doing. Went well ice is great now.
