KDDC24CVS01 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

i can't believe it was that easy, just removed the screws, pulled elements out disconnected wires well it seemed to easy so had to read the directions or it would have took only 10 minutes. to do this job. thanks so much for your web sight, the repair man said it would probably be 200.00 or so

yea right 100.00 and its making all the ice we need thanks

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!!!!!!!!

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>>

Removed two screws, pulled the element out and disconnected the wire harness. Reversed the procedure and we were one.
Kept a close watch n the ice maker to make sure we didn't have another flood. The first time an ice cube stuck between the metal bale and the side of the freezer--we had about 50 gallon of water on the floor. Thought we had it fixed and a few days later another flood. Decided to replace the unit and it is working great...Hopefully no more floods.

First I unpluged the refriderator and removed the old ice maker. I then just simply installed the new ice maker. It was just that simple. The next morning I woke up with a full tray of ice.

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.

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.

The ice maker is held in by three screws. There is an electrical connection. Also, there is a water line to the rear of the unit.
The replacement unit had clear instructions and a selection of parts to match the defective device.
Hint: don't discard the old unit until the new unit is configured for installation.
Turned on the water and the electricity to the fridge, and had ice in several hours.

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.

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.

Followed instructions from online video. Used the opportunity to clean the freezer compartment really well. Also discovered that water solenoid valve was failing and have since replaced that also.

Directions say to remove tube from filter inlet, but could only get one arm under the refrigerator. Connection was located about dead center under the box. Was much simpler to remove the two screws at the front that hold the filter itself in place. Whole unit slides right out and was 10 seconds to pop out old tube and insert new tube.

As directed in video clip, an excellent instruction video. Made for one of my quickest trouble free repairs in a long while.

Unplugged the fridge. Got a light to shine on 3 small screws. Used a pair of channel locks to get the pigtail wiring harness off and the old one was out. Put the new one back in, plugged in the wiring harness and heard the ice bin getting it's first new ice a few hours later.

After diagnosing the ice maker wasn't working, I got the model & serial number of the refrigerator. Picked the ice maker online by picture, that was a first. Three screws to take the old one out and replace the new. Written directions confirmed there is no manual cycle button on ice maker. Waited a couple hours and checked it, there was ice! Everybody was happy.
