106KSSS36QDX05 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!

Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.

The light rocker switch wasnt working. I found the part on the web site. It was so easy. I used a screw driver to pop out the old one and pop the new one in. It took 5 min. Thanks!!!

Once the part arrived it would have been an extremely simple install, however the part was shipped defective. Only 1 of the six potential mounting holes had been tapped. Leaving 5 without threading whatsoever. After demanding a refund I was told I would have to pay for shipping again to send it back and it would talk 7 to 20 weeks ........ yes you read that correctly. For my return to be processed and I could be issued my refund. Long story short I tapped the holes myself and was then able to install. Everything works but I will never buy ANYTHING from this website again.

1.Turn off the water supply.

2.Removed the front cover where the ice and water is dispensed.
3.Removed the black plate over the dispensing area to allow more working room. ( 3 flat head screws)
4.Removed the 2 phillips screws holding the end of the water dispensing tube. This will allow you to get the dispensing arm over the water tube.
5. Removed the screw that holds the spring in place.
6. Its real tricky, but you have to place the spring onto the arm so that the tension will cause the arm to move forward when released, shuting off the flow of water. At the same time replace the screw thats holds the spring in place.
7. Reattache the 2 crews holding the end of the dispensing tube, the 3 screws holding the black plate, replace the front cover, turn the water back on and have yourself a cool drink of water.

Ordered Ice Bin Auger and changed with no problem. Found how to change on YouTube and followed video.

Removed screw that held nozzle on. Pulled old line out far enough to cut off broken nozzle. Attached new line with threaded bolt and clear packing tape. Pulled old line out bottom of door until new line came thru. Removed tape and bolt. Attached new line to water supply. Attached new nozzle with screw. Checked for water leaks. Job complete!

use kitchen knife to pry out. replaced switch assemble and pressed back into place. Could not have done this with out help from previous customers. Thanks

First I removed the screw holding the ice door shaft (at the rear of the ice container). Removed clip of which the screw was holding in place (no need to remove the clip from the shaft). Then I removed the front cover screws, separated front cover from ice container. Door shaft is removed with front cover assembly, no need to remove anything else from front cover. Pulled out auger shaft, removed circlip (snap ring) and washer from front of shaft. Used an adjustable wrench to remove plastic nut from front end of shaft. CAUTION - the plastic nut is reverse thread, make sure to turn it clockwise to loosen and remove. Pulled off broken auger then reassembled with new auger in the reverse order as previously described.

Remove the screws and detach the cover. loose the spring and unscrew backwards the plastic nut to release the drum. Un ensemble the blades and release the drum and the deflector replace new parts and ensemble again all the parts.

Replaced the Ice Bin Auger,I ordered from PartSelect,which had much thicker housing and fins than the original .You remove the clip from the end of the shaft and a nylon nut which is a left hand which is opposite threads from most nuts.Its a good idea to take a picture of how the blades and spacers are ,because if not put back in the same direction their will be no crushed ice.It now works better and quiter than when it was new.

Take it apart, replace with the new one, put it back together. So simple even a democrat girl could do it.

We followed the video and everything went perfectly! Our dispenser is happily dispensing crushed and cube ice.

Pried out old part with screwdriver. Unplugged. When new part came, just plugged it in and pushed the part into place.

This was an easy replacement involving removal of the old overflow grille, cleaning the water dispenser area, then placing the new black colored grille in place.

Removed ice tray and unbolted front cover. Removed broken piece and snapped new ice deflector in place. Reinstalled front cover and put ice tray back into freezer. Cycled crushed ice, works great!
