KSSC42QMS01 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

The helpful Partselect video showed a slightly different model, as my icemaker uses optics instead of a bail for shutting off the icemaker. I ordered new optics based on a a customer description that, if the light on the right hand side of the freezer door jamb was blinking 2 flashes followed by a pause,it indicated that the optics were faulty, so I ordered and replaced them. This did not solve my problem. Then on-line I found further information that said I should close the flapper on the left side, and if the light was steady (which it was) the optics were OK. I then ordered the motor unit. I unscrewed the single screw under the right hand side of the track with a 1/4" nut driver, but found that sliding out the ice maker involved a little wiggling and prying, and, because it was awkward to disconnect the electrical connection, I found that it was not necessary to disconnect it. Then, after removing the end cap, it was a straight forward process to replace the motor, while adjusting the shaft to line up. Then,reverse all procedures and I now have ice. Success!

Removed icemaker, replaced motor and reinstalled. Very quick delivery of parts, fit perfectly.

replaced the motor control assembly and it works great

First I watched the little video that was available when I bought the part on line. Though the job was easy, it was a VERY good idea to watch the video. Just makes you more confident to do the job well. The whole thing was done very quickly and to satisfaction
