KBSD702MSS00 KitchenAid Refrigerator - Instructions

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

Replaced the emitter/receiver and it worked after that. Very easy.

Removed screws holding face plates in place inside the freezer housing ... unplugged the old emitter and receiver, then plugged in the new emitter and receiver. Screwed the face plates back in place. Actually, this repair took place a few years ago. When my ice maker quit recently, I noticed the red light inside the freezer housing was not blinking properly. I remembered from my previous experience that the pattern of red light blinks was diagnostic, but of course, the pattern is not described in my owner's manual. The installation instruction sheet that comes with this part does give the diagnostic patterns, however. As it turned out this time, when I was ready to install the new parts, I discovered that one of the little ice-flipper thingies (technical term) was caught on the ice cube-freezing tray ... I released the flipper thingy, and, in time I was back in the ice-making business. So the new part is stowed away in the pantry until the present emitter/receiver parts fail ... and I made a copy of the red-light diagnostic pattern to put in the owner's manual. Now, all I will have to do when the existing parts fail, is remember where I stowed the replacement parts!

Unplugged unit. Taped ice maker flap up and out of way. Removed screws holding emitter board, unplugged old board and connected new. Did same for receiver board on opposite side.

I tried several things first : changed the filter cartridge, then the water control valve, then the control boards but still no ice. Rather than buy a new motor assembly, I bought a whole new icemaker which included the motor assembly and finally SUCCESS! In total it cost me about $350 but you have to try the easier and cheaper things first. One 1/4" screw and disconnecting the wire harness clip plus reusing the old icemaker base and the repair was complete. I would recommend a more detailed discussion on what each part does and the way the colored wires attach. Wire clips can sometimes be connected upside down. I was very happy with how quickly I received the new part. I whole-heartedly recommend PartSelect.

Took knife and pried out the the damaged switch. Took wires off. Put the wires on the new switch and put it back in the hole. Job finished. The part shipment was very prompt and I am happy. The End!

Pried out old Switch,Hooked wires to new switch Snapped in New Unit.
5 minutes Total Time

I popped the switched out depressing the underside of the switch so that it could be removed.
I ordered the part.
Paid for normal shipping.
Received an order confirmation.
Received a shipping notification.
Received the part the next morning.
Open the part and attached the wires.
Pushed the switch into the hole and the process was done in less than 24 hours. I couldn't have been more pleased. The actual installation took less than 30 seconds.

A snap! The part arrived the day after I ordered it. (How, I don't know). The video showed exactly what to do. I did it. Ice maker now works like a charm. Thanks.

I removed the receiver cover and replaced the board (three screws, two on the board) did the exact same procedure on the emitter board ( three on the cover, one on the board). This process took all of 4 minutes.

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

Removed the screws and disconnected the part from the base. Attached the new part to the base and screwed back in. No big deal!!!!

After reading other repair stories online, i ordered the parts, followed the included instructions to replace the boards and the next day i had a full bin of ice. This is the second refrigerator i fixed with parts from partsselect.com. They are AWESOME!

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?
