KSSC36QTS02 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

Easy repair, unplug the fridge and then remove the 3 screws on each side of the freezer holding the emitter and receiver. Swap the boards and re-install. Takes less than 10 minutes.

I simply removed the old switch by gently pulling down on the old switch with a screwdriver. When it was about half way out I just gently pulled down on the old switch and it popped out... I removed the two connectors attached to the old switch by pulling on the connectors with a pliers...I tried using my fingers but wasn't able to pull the connectors off so I used pliers. It worked perfectly.. When pulling off the old connectors, make sure you attach the new switch to the same tabs on the new switch... It was very easy to do and took under 5 mins.....The light switch works perfect....P.S. You should unplug the frig while making the connection just in case....Safety first....!!!

inserted a knife between the switch and the plastic interior in order to pop the switch out.
then took off the 2 wires on the old switch put them on the new switch and reinserted the switch into the plastic interior.

I ordered a new ice maker and replaced it. It hung on two screws in the side of freezer and connected to the electric in back by a plug in unit. Within 20 minutes we were making ice again. Awesome!!

The teflon coating on the ice maker had worn off in a section. This was causing the cubes to stick and the tray heater to have to run longer. Which meant that water would accumulate in the tray over several cycles, eventually spilling over on a fill. The hardest part about replacing the ice maker was getting the plug disconnected. I had to use a small screw driver to push the tab that latches it down while pulling the plug out. You only have to completly remove the lower mounting screw. The top two just need to be loosened enough to remove the ice maker.

Broken plastic part in motor assembly. Very simple to replace. Sears wanted $322.00!!!

removed the LED covers on both sides of the freezer, unplugged each circuit board, plugged in both circuits, replaced the LED covers, job complete, making ice

There are 3 screws the one on the bottom comes all the way out, the 2 on top just need to be loosened. Lift up on the ice maker to clear screws, pull away a little bit then while holding disconnect the wire harness from the ice maker by pushing down the locking tab with a flat head screw driver. Then reversed the process with the new one, it took an hour or so but the ice started falling, a day later the bucket was full.

removed old part and instal the new one :)

I took a chance and ordered a switch that is next to the top of the door. looked for how to remove it easily done in ten minutes works fine last long time.

Replacement of parts was simple. But there are three main reasons that ice maker quits: door sensors stop working; ice maker, or it control system, stop working, or the coil controlling when water is released into the ice maker stops working. It was easy to replace the door senors; repairman replaced the ice maker and control board, which is located in one end of ice maker, but it ended up being the coil or simply a frozen water outlet into the ice maker that stopped the system from from working. The first thing you should do is to make sure that the water outlet into the icemaker is not frozen - use a hair dryer to melt frozen ice in the outlet - don't melt the plastic outlet with high heat. If the system still does not work go to this: look at red sensor on door to the the right. If it blinks twice in a couple of second with a time out and then repeats over and over, close the door on the receiving sensor on the left hand side of the casing and if the red light comes on steady then the sensor is working properly. So, now you have the coil that turns the water on and off or the water maker itself that can be bad. It will be one of these that are at fault, but not both. Call a repairman.

Just had shoulder surgery so had to use one arm. Was simple and easy. Just took out ice tray, loosed two fasteners at top, removed screw from bottom, pulled out partialy and disconected electric and removed old icemaker. Hooked up new electric and hung on two top fasteners, reinstalled bottom screw, tightened top fasteners and put ice tray back in. Was making ice within a couple of hours.

Repair was real easy, I had to remove several screws in the bottom of the icemaker module housing. The unit slide out with no problem there was a wire assembly that hat to be disconnected but this did not present a problem. The old module came out real easy after removing 4 screws and the replacement was not a problem to but in.

Look at several YouTube videos on removal of same or similar units and that will help. Clear out the area in the freezer above the ice maker and removed the shelf. Removed the ice bucket. Remove the single screw attaching the bottom of the old ice maker to the left freezer wall. Loosen the two screws at the top of the old ice maker holding it to the left freezer wall. Loosen and removed the old ice maker. If the electrical cable from the freezer rear to the old ice maker was not easily removed from the freezer, remove it from the old ice maker using a screwdriver. Loosen the clamp attaching the cable to the old ice maker for temperature sensing and remove the old ice maker. Then do all the steps in reverse for the new ice maker, taking care to insure that the cable was firmly seated in the connector and the temperature sensing clamp closed tightly (hand pressure). The hardest part is positioning and replacing the bottom screw attaching the new ice maker to the left freezer wall; this involves a little jiggering to get it correctly positioned and seated. All else went well. It's been over three weeks and the unit works great. I did not need to use the cable supplied with the replacement ice maker, so I discarded it.

unhooking elec. connection on old ice maker was hardest part, everyone said to push in tab with a screw driver while pulling connector apart, not on mine, as soon as I pried tab up it came right off.
