KDDC24CVX01 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

Replacing the ice maker is no big deal. Just take out the old one and replace it with the new one. The replacement, however, didn't work very well. Seemed like its timer was off, so it would dump ice cubes before they were completely frozen. So, we go shells of ice cubes. Not good. Called Parts Select, advised them of the problem, and they agreed to replace the part. Could not be happier with the customer service I received from this company.

it was very very simple, it took only three screws
using socket set.
I removed the old one and put the new one in place , connect electric connection in 2 seconds snapping it toghether, that is all to it.
the hardest part is waiting on the ice to be made , which it took three to four hours for the first batch.
I am in the medical profession, IF I CAN do it , everyone CAN!!!!!!!!

I just removed three screws from the old ice maker and disconnected a single set of wires. All I had to do was reconnect the new set of wires and screw it back into the side of the freezer. Anybody could do this repair.

3 screws and plugged in the new ice maker. It was slightly difficult to unplug the old ice maker and place the plug in the new ice maker. Still really easy. New ice maker works great!

Looking at the instructions it looked like I had to rewire the the plug in the adapter. As it turns out, you don't .Using a screw driver, I released the braket mount and the nut driver loosened the nut holding the tray to the wall. It came right off when you lift it straight up and the wire assembly was exactly the same as the original. All I did was plug in the new ice maker, Hang the assembly on the loosen nuts and tighten again and put the screw back in the bottom bracket that held it in place. I spent longer looking at the instructions than I actually did in the whole replacement time. By morning we had a good amount of ice. EASY>>

I first removed the bottom screw then loosened the top two screws about 3 turns lifted an then slide icemaker out a couple inches then used small screwdriver to unclip the wire conector and removed icemaker then pluged new icemaker in and tightened top screws replaced bottom screw lowered metal arm and was done. les than 10 min. it has taken me longer to write this reply than it did to install the icemaker.

First 1/4'' nut driver was needed.Then i proceeded
to remove the nut just below the ice maker in a
white bracket. Then i loosen the two nuts at top of
icemaker,enough to lift it off the clips. Then that
allowed me to unplug the plug in rear socket. Then
you plug in the new plug that came with icekaker
and reattach ice maker making shore the two top
clips slide into each other. Do not tighten unto you
incert bottom screw in lower bracket.Make sure
icemaker is push all the way up ,then tighen all
screws.

I hand screwed the fill tube into the water tube and stuck it into the freezer hole. I screwed the fill tube to the back of the refrigerator.

Thanks so much! You saved me a bundle!!

Searched PartSelect database for replacement. Double checked pictures on website to confirm exact replacement.

After locating the screws, removed icemaker, disconnected cable connection.

Verified new part side-by=side with replacement. Made needed mod to icemaker water inlet. Popped in replacement ice maker, connected wiring harness, tightened screws. Waited for ice to arrive about an hour later.

Replaced the supply line following the directions supplied by the video that was provided with the part order. I could not have done it as well an in the short amount of time required without the aid of the video. I would not have known that the water filter housing/unit had to be removed to facilitate the repair.

While it probably could have been remedied with the controller, the cost difference between the controller and the unit made me opt for the entire unit. The fridge is a side by side, which meant in order for me to see the screws I'd need to use a mirror. Once I got the socket on the nut, it wasn't difficult to back out the upper screws. The lower was a bit easier. The power cable however was frozen from years of attachment, and really defied removal. Once removed, the unit came out easily. In my case, the wires had to be removed from the old unit and reinstalled in the new. Not a big deal, but just another step. the issue I had was upon re-installation. The wire harness didn't want to reassemble, and since I could only fit one arm inside, it was difficult to get the connector attached and tightened. I was able to get a pair of channel locks across the connector and get it together. Once that was done I hung the unit back on the upper screws, verifying the fill tube was properly set. I then re-tightened the lower screw. I then turned on the water and it seemed to take a very long time before the unit actually filled with water. It's now been several hours and the ice is starting to once again collect in the bucket.

New inlet valve. very easy. Part select was great. I first ordered a new ice maker, this did not fix the problem. Part select allowed me to return it and get the right part. The repair vidio was great.

Followed video and had one problen, the metal pipe would not release as shown,so I used a hacksaw between the plastic and metal pipe, removing the metal pipe from inside as the video shows. Good instructions.

I watched the recommended you tube video multiple times. I made sure to have the tools and towels ready. I shut off the water supply line, and capped it, removed the backing, and inspected the back. By following the video, the rest was easy. I recommend removing any built up dust and dirt while you have the front apart.

First I tried repairing the but that did not work, so I looked online and found partselect.com, put in my part number and wammo! There it was, the same exact water inlet line, and reasonably in-expensive. I ordered it and it got here pretty quick.
