KFIS27CXMS5 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

Opened up the compartment where the old filter was located, twisted it to take it out (be careful not to spill water in the filter!), and installed the new one. Even a 64 year old woman had no trouble!

I snapped the cover plate to the filter open. Pulled the filter down and twisted counter clock wise to take filter out. I installed the new filter in by inserting the filter and tuning clock wise to secure the filter. I flushed the water for about two minutes and then allowed it to be put back into service.

Pried out the old switch with small screwdriver, popped in the new one and tah-dah!! ..the light came on. While I was at it, I cleaned out the freezer :). I cannot begin to imagine what a repairman would have charged for this.

The pivot block looked slightly worn because the hinge door mechanism on the left door would not "close" when the door was opened. I bought the pivot block, but the fix is adjusting the dual french doors so they are even i n height at the top of the unit. Pivot block is a 2 minute job with screwdriver. Adjusting the height is a 5 minute job with nut driver.

Opened the refrigerator door, pulled down the filter cover, twisted the old one out and removed it. Placed the new one in - twisted it into place, replaced the cover and closed the door. It is working great!!

Take filter out of the box and open the refrigerator. Open the housing in the frig that holds the filter and twist the light-blue piece 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise. (Put the light-blue piece in a safe place.) Take foil away from filter. With 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction, twist the filter into its position. Let five gallons run through the system to get fresh, filtered water.

Took out 2nd new filter $43.00 each that clogged in less than 2 weeks each and installed in 2 mins. this bypass and ice and waterr work perfect.Thank you, thank you for your exceptional service ordered part and it came next day without extra charge,great service.

Just replaced a water/ice filter..

Simple! Pop the case open. Counterclockwise to remove old filter. Wipe out excess water. Unwrap new filter; remove tab. Place in filter holder; turn clockwise. Close case. Run water to remove air. Couldn't have been easier!

We had an Appliance Repair service come to fix, and they replaced the ice maker and the water valve, but ice maker was still not performing properly. We use RO water to fill the ice maker and because the water was also going through the charcoal cartridge, there wasn't enough water pressure to completely fill the tray. Plus charcoal filter was probably clogged. The original Blue Bypass Cap was nowhere to be found and I even called Kitchenaid to get one. They were of no help. But found your site, and found the part I needed. And best of all, ice maker is not jamming and is now making real ice cubes, not hollow, thin ones. And the water dispenser is now working too, so am very happy that such a small thing, fixed the big problem. Who knows, a clogged charcoal filter may have been the whole problem from the start.

I unscrewed the old filter and screwed the new filter in the way the instructions said. I have done this before with no problems. Easy fix.
