KBSD708MBS01 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

I used a knife blade to slip under the edge of old switch to pray it out of the hole it was inserted into, switched the wires and replaced the new switch into the same hole. It took about five minutes!

Recently unemployed, we knew a repairman was out of the question. We opted to glue the broken tab,but I knew that would just be living a substandard rerpair so looked on line. Found our replacement part very easily and much to our surprise we had the part the next day, yes, the next day!! Looking at the new part gave us the confidence to pop out the old one without causing damage to our unit. It was a no brainer , pop out and plug in w/in 30 seconds. Small appliance repairmen are a minumum of 75.00 service fee plus parts. Our repair less than 20.00 less than 24 hrs. How good is that?

part got here fast and I fixed it in no time. GREAT Thanks

Popped old one out with knife. exchanged power leads. Popped new switch in. Make sure to unplug refrigerator before you start!

plugged the two wires in and snapped the switch into it's socket.

Used screw driver to pop out old switch. Used pliers to hold wire connection from fall back into slot on fridge. Inserted new swith into plug and pressed new switch back in place.

I had several times tried to get the old switch out but with no success. Ordered the "repair kit" and followed directions for removing old switch (there is a plastic spring clip on one side). Easy to unplug the old switch, plug the leads into the new one, snap the new one into place. Took about 5 minutes total--piece of cake. I wish I'd thought to try this years ago when the old switch began to fail.

After years of using a flash light to check the contents of my refrigerator, I decided to try to fix the problem myself. Replacing the light switch was very easy. The directions were straight forward and I'm sorry I waited so long to tackle the problem.

Pried out the old switch with small screwdriver, popped in the new one and tah-dah!! ..the light came on. While I was at it, I cleaned out the freezer :). I cannot begin to imagine what a repairman would have charged for this.

Temperature in freezer too cold. Temperature display showed higher temperature than actual which caused the freezer to continually run. Thermister is found behind a white box on wall in freezer. Unscrew the box from wall and easily disconnect the thermistor clamp. Replace in reverse order.

Pulled out old switch with needle nose pliers, unplugged old switch and plugged in the new one and snapped back into place. Very easy to repair. Took less than 10 minutes

Purchased the new light switch, used a butter knife to pop the old one out, used the pliers to pull the wires off the metal tabs, replaced the new one with no problem. Took about under 1 minute. Lights are now all working.

The motor turned but the shaft had worn and was smooth rather than hexagon in cross-section. Part Select had the exploded view of the mechanism, which I could not find on Kitchenaid's site and I was able to order a replacement shaft, which I did and got within 3 days. I replaced the shaft without any difficulty and now I can enjoy my cocktails with ice from the in-door dispenser without sticking my hand in the ice bin. I am very pleased with Part Select, their website, their stock of parts and their efficiency.

Changed bulb, not the problem, had to remove switch to identify correct choice to order (3 pronged verus 2) after that it was easy beyond having to stand on my head to make the exchange. (N B before removing old switch it actually came back to life)

watched the video how to remove, and did it.
