Step By Step Instructions

1
To replace the auger motor shaft seal in this kitchenaid refrigerator, you will need a phillips-head screwdriver and a heat gun.
2
Before you begin the procedure, unplug the appliance’s power cord.
3
Open the ice compartment door and pull the retaining lever forward then lift the ice bucket assembly up to remove.
4
Use the phillips-head screwdriver to unthread the four screws securing the ice chute.
5
With the screws unthreaded, you can lift the ice chute out.

Because the auger shaft seal clip retaining tabs are so rigid, we recommend using the heat gun or a hair dryer to heat them up to make them more pliable.
7
You can now depress the tabs to release the clip and remove the old seal.
8
To install the new auger motor shaft seal, align it on the underside of the ice chute and snap the clip into place to secure.
9
Reinstall the ice chute by positioning it over the auger motor drive shaft, then secure the chute with the screws.
