KFIL27CXMP0 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

installed new parts

Opened up the door that covered the filter, unscrewed it and put the new one in and closed the door back up.

The best part of the repair was how easy it was to find and order the part. Instead of searching the parts houses around town I just went to the PartSelect web site, quickly found and ordered the part in about five minutes, received the part the next day at my home and was ready to make the repair. Wow! What a pleasure for something to work the way it was meant to. Removed old switch located by prying out with sharp knife or screwdriver. Don't worry about breaking it or cracking plastic. Disconnect(unplug) wires from back of switch. Replace (plug-in) wires on back of new switch. Insert in location of old switch. Finisheed.

replaced ice and water filter

i first removed the ice maker and took the motor assembley off. Right away i saw the problem. The wheel which drives the arm broke.
Once i get the new motor modl i just replaced it (it just pops into place with 1 or 2 screws).
put ice maker back in freezer and wola. Starting cranking out ice within 15 minutes.

Thought I was going to have to replace entire ice bin but went on this website and saw I only needed to replace a coupling. Even had video on how to do it. Easy greasy!!

Used a philips screwdriver.

Shut off water supply. filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the refrigerator on the inside. open the drop-down door. by hand pull the filter downward. then twist it to the left one quarter turn. it should pull out. I replaced it with a filter bypass plug. you can purchase a high quality filter to replace.it don't buy cheap filter.I made that mistake! hope this helps good luck!

I used a knife blade to slip under the edge of old switch to pray it out of the hole it was inserted into, switched the wires and replaced the new switch into the same hole. It took about five minutes!

Extemely easy to install. I just found the model number on ther refridgerator, ordered the part, the part was shipped very fast, installed the Coupling with a small screw driver in less than 5 minutes! I saved myself a lot of money! I am a female and it was very easy to do!

I removed the ice bin and on the bottom of it I removed 1 screw. I put the washer and drive lug on and reattached the screw. It was so simple I thought I surely left something off. It has worked fine since.

Poped ou the old switch, connected new switch and pushed back into socket.

The old coupling was no longer in the unit so I took out the set screw inserted the new coupling and reset the screw and now my ice maker works again like a champ. Less than 10 minute repair but took an extrea 5 as I had to mnake a new washer that goes under the coupling for wear resistance.

The ice dispenser stopped turning for crushed/cubed ice out the chute. Turned out it was this little $10 metal coupling part that broke apart. I'm guessing its not an unusual problem because the partSelect part was redesigned to be thicker than the original part to help prevent it from happening. I was very impressed with the superiour quality of the replacement part.

Removed the screw at the base of the ice bin unit. Replaced the coupling that had broken teeth and screwed in the new one. Was very simple. With service call with part near $150 the repair was made for less than $20.
