106KSSS36QDX05 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

All I did was unscrew the stripped one and screw the new part on. You just have to get it started unscrewing first ( remember that it's backwards! ).

I followed the video instructions on the site, easy job and it now works.

SUPER EASY. I pulled out the ice bucket and confirmed the motor ran and the axel turned - however the coupling was missing. Ordered the coupling - pulled out the ice bucket, screwed on by hand with minimum effort, put ice bucket back and ice started coming out the door. It took less than 5 minutes and no tools required.

I just popped out the old switch with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the connections and then installed new switch by reversing steps. Popped in back in and the light went on.

Replaced drum and reassembled unit.

I followed the instructions on your video.

Part was perfect but the internal mounting bracket was broke. super glued mounting bracket and reinstalled switch. Works perfectly. Followed the video that came with the Email and was very easy to find the problem. Thanks.

JUST POP the front panel off and removed the items

Removed the bezel [trim piece around the ice & water dispensing area, it just snaps off with a trim tool or screwdriver. Remove the lock screw, break off one of the chute door retaining hooks and remove the defective part. Reverse the procedure to make the repair.

I took the front access panel off by unscrewing the 2 philips screws under the water dispenser tray. The plastic trim piece lifts straight up. The assembly that holds the electronics to operate the ice dispenser and water dispenser is held to the door by two 1/4 hex head screws. You pull that up and out of the way. Then take the metal bracket off that holds the water nozzle to the door. There is a black water supply line that runs down the door and out the hole in the center of the left bottom hinge. (You’ll have to pull off the kick plate at the bottom of the refrigerator to access the connection) It is connected to a compression fitting that attaches to a larger white water supply that runs through the inside of the refrigerator. Feed the new black supply line down through the door (up top) and fish it through until it stops. It most likely will not poke through the hole in the hinge. I took a scratch awl to center the new hose to enable it to poke through the hole in the hinge. Reconnect the compression fitting, put the kick plate back in place, put the electronics back in place as well as the plastic trim piece that goes around the dispenser itself. Sit back, enjoy a glass or water and pat yourself on the back for saving yourself a $100 service call.

i used the instructions that came with the part and it was really simple. thank you very much. it saved me a HUGH repair bill.we use alot of crushed ice and the part shipped in 2 days. thank you.C.D.L.

repaired the broken parts, with packing tape.

Actually I disassembled the whole door mechanism so that I could give it a good cleaning.
I ordered the part from you folks because you show a picture of the part and also have a scale (grid) in the photo so that I knew that I had the correct part coming. When the new part arrived, it took about 15 minutes to install it and it works like it did when it was new. The photos of the parts are very important to me.

replaced the drum ---- however it would of been more helpful if directions came with the part on how to take off the old drum we had to look on line to see how to do that wants we got that done the rest was a piece of cake
