KSSC36QTS02 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

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.

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.

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 were 3 nuts on the bottom of the unit that held ice maker unit in place but i had a lot of ice where it held the unit in place so i clipped it.it was a little hard pulling it out lifting it up and twisting the i saw the plug and disconnected it and worked on the table and took the 2 screws of the motor plate and pulled apart and in stalled new stripper and cup and put back together and it went in a lot easier dont forget to take off swinging door in front of ice maker snaps out hope this helps for this model

Replaced the control of the ice maker assembly.

System not cooling. removed back cover and notice fan not rotating. Looked up unit and found diagram. Ordered motor which was received in less than 5 business days.
Replacement was super easy. Just unscrewed from frame, pulled off fan, put fan on new motor and remounted back in frame. Took 10 minutes tops.

With the freezer door closed, remove 4 screws around the ice maker door assembly. Open the freezer door and remove about a dozen small flat-head screws around the sides of the door that hold the stainless steel cover to the freezer door. No need to remove the very bottom screws if you have something to support the cover with. Remover 4 hex-head screws that hold the ice/water dispenser control pad in place, use tape to secure this pad to the freezer door so you don't have to undue all the electrical connections. Remove two screws that hold the Ice Door Motor & Bracket Assembly in place - disconnect the electrical connection for the assembly. Replace the new assembly in the opposite order it was taken off. Presto - done.

The bearing & cup assembly was broken and the gears in the drive assy were stripped. Unfortunately I couldn't find anywhere to buy the gears without buying the entire motor assy with the gear box already on it. Cost was up to $85 with shipping but at least it now works fine.

To repair: a 1/4 nut driver will take off screw below ice maker and all you need to do is loosen the 2 screws above the ice maker then push it upward slightly and it will slide off the top 2 screws. Then pull the power connector off from behind the ice maker at the side of the refridge. Then pull straight out and it will slide off the water fill tube. Now with unit out of refridge I took the cover off the front of the ice maker and removed the 3 philip screws. I then pulled the motor/gear assy off from the chassis of the ice maker. I then had to remove the 2 philip screws on the chassis (under the motor/gear assy) to remove the cube maker/element from the chassis. This allowed me to remove the rotating cube spatula bar to replace the filler cup/bearing assy. Then I reinstalled the spatula bar and the 2 philip scews on the chassis to the cube maker/element assy. I then installed the new motor/gear assy to the chassis and installed the 3 remaining philip screws. Put the cover back on the ice maker and inserted assy back into the refridge by first reattaching the power connector and then sliding backward onto the water fill tube and then slipping over the top of the 2 top screws on the refridge. Then I installed the screw below the ice maker and tightened all 3. Presto - repair done in 30 minutes and perfect cubes were spitting out within the hour.
