KBUDT4870A (01) Thermador Refrigerator - Instructions

The icemaker was an exact duplicate of the one in my refrigerator. I installed the correct shutoff bar on the icemaker and removed the tab for the water fill spout. After pulling the power cord I loosened the two top screws with a nutdriver and removed the bottom screw. I pulled the icemaker from the rear wall, away from the fill spout, and disconnected the wire harness. Installation was just the reverse of the removal.

remove-slight turn of filter
replace-turn and it was replace

three screws and a plug in and it was done!

Turned off power and water, removed 2 screws on the bottom, loosened 2 screws on the top, pulled ice maker out a couple inches so I could disconnect wires, and removed old ice maker. I cut the slot in the back of new ice maker for the water line with pocket knife and installed the new unit. Took less the 30 minutes.

I ordered the replacement ice maker on a Saturday, received it on the next Tuesday, and in stalled it in a little over 15 minutes. Very quick, very easy. Partselect.com was easy to use and exceeded my expectations on every issue. Thanks.

All of 16 seconds. It took longer to get it out of the box than to change it. Untwist the old one, pull it out and replace the new one.

Removed old ice maker and replaced it with the new one, took 20minutes and existing plug worked so I didnt have to use an adapter. Been 36 hours and it makes ice fine but has only dumped 3 or 4 times, hope it gets better. I dont know what else to do to it. Proceedure was easy and quick./

added lowering clips to brackets, plugged it in,
hung on sidewall. Plug in power, turned water on,
had ice in an hour. The written directions could be a little more detailed..I am very satisfied with the ease of installation.

I removed one screw from lower portion of unit and loosened 2 top screws. Lifted unit to slide off top screws and unplugged unit. Plugged in unit and positioned unit on 2 top screws. Installed bottom screw and tightened top 2 screws. Repair complete.

Unscrewed oldfilter and installed new. Very easy repair

Remove filter, and replace with new one.

I looked up the model# of my kenmore for repairs and partselect.com came up. I searched for the icemaker, wondering if I was even going to be able to figure it out. I was pleasantly surprise that when I found the part there was also a video on how to do the repair. I watched the video, ordered the part and when it came, the repair was a piece of cake.

I removed the 3 screws that held the unit in place and disconnected the power supply from the front part of the icemaker. I then assembled the replacement icemaker and plugged it in to power supply. I then mounted it with the 3 screws that it required. (Tip): Note the top 2 screws do not need to be totally removed just loosen them enough to remove icemaker. I then cycled the iemaker shutoff arm several times and within 45 minutes I had my first ice cubes

Tested water valve by disconnecting power and adding 110VAC to valve to be certain the valve worked before ordering new ice maker. Rather than guessing on the part of the ice maker that was defective I ordered a new ice maker complete for a few doorars more and that fixed the problem.

After turning off the water to the fridge, I removed the 3 screws holding the icemaker, and unhooked the wire harness. I just reversed the process to reinstall and it took about 20 minutes, and we had a bin full of ice the next day.
