Water filter cap snapped while trying to remove water filter
Do not try to pull out the water filter by the cap. There is a button that releases the filter so you will not have to replace the cap. The cap twists onto the filter. When replacing the filter, the cap goes onto the new one.

Ice maker stopped making ice
Unpluged fridge, removed 3 screws from each control board (1 on left side and 1 on right side in freezer below ice maker compartment, unplugged and swopped out with new ones. Did one side then the other. Learned about the issue from other people on PartsSelect. Coulden't have been easier. Got parts in 2 days. Works like a charm now.

Ice maker quit making ice.
Removed the Wiring & Troubleshooting instructions from behind the front Grill and used to troubleshoot the KSCS25IN side by side refrigerator. I then removed the three screws from the Emitter assembly on the left side of the freezer. Then disconnected the four pin connector. Removed screw holding emitter PCB to housing and replaced with the new PCB and then re-installed. Similar steps for the Receiver assembly and PCB on the right side of the freezer. Unit started making ice after making some water level adjustments on the Timer assembly.

fridge door switch did not work
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.

Ice Door Bracket Assemby failed resulting in Ice Door no longer opening and closing
With the freezer door closed, remove 4 screws around the ice maker door assembly. Open the freezer door and remove about a dozen small flat-head screws around the sides of the door that hold the stainless steel cover to the freezer door. No need to remove the very bottom screws if you have something to support the cover with. Remover 4 hex-head screws that hold the ice/water dispenser control pad in place, use tape to secure this pad to the freezer door so you don't have to undue all the electrical connections. Remove two screws that hold the Ice Door Motor & Bracket Assembly in place - disconnect the electrical connection for the assembly. Replace the new assembly in the opposite order it was taken off. Presto - done.

Was not making ice; blades @ 12:00
The emitter code: Hold the flap that covers the receiver. (On the left) If the emitter does not stay red, the emitter and receiver are defected.
Replaced the emitter and receiver board
Unplug the refrigerator:
I first removed the ice-maker service door by removing the 2 screws at the top. Next, I removed the 3 screws on the lift side that housed the receiver. It is close, so remove the 1 gold screws on the receiver. This will allow you to separate the switch without any damage. Plug the new receiver in and reverse the process. Put the gold screw in to secure the board. Replace the 3 screws back into the receiver panel.
Remove the 3 screws on the right side. The emitter has 2 gold screws. Remove them so I could separate the switch. Plug the new switch in and replace the 2 gold screws.
Place the 3 screws back into the right side panel.
This process took roughly 30 minutes. After assembly, the ice make was dropping ice in 30 minutes.
There are several large parts places in my area but I saved about $35 by ordering online.
I place my order on Friday morning and the part was in my hands Saturday @ 6: 30 PM the next day.
