Kitchenaid Refrigerator KSSP48MFB05 Leaking

The Icemaker Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a comprehensive kit that includes all the necessary components to replace or install a new icemaker in your refrigerator.

Causes of needing a new icemaker kit can include the existing icemaker malfunctioning, producing insufficient or irregular ice, or being damaged due to wear and tear.

Symptoms indicating it's time to replace the icemaker include:

• No ice production or irregular ice cube formation
• Water leaks or excessive condensation around the icemaker area
• Strange noises or grinding sounds during operation
• Error codes or warning lights related to the icemaker

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore refrigerator models. Note: This kit no longer comes with the "shut-off" arms. Order by model if needed.

The Ice Mold is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component forms the ice cubes in the icemaker, shaping the water into cubes as it freezes. The ice mold is crucial for the efficient production of ice, ensuring that each cube is properly formed and easily released into the ice bucket.

You should replace the ice mold if it shows signs of wear or damage. Causes of a bad ice mold can include mineral buildup from hard water, physical damage to the mold surface, or malfunctioning heating elements that prevent ice from releasing properly.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Mold include:

• Ice cubes not forming correctly or being irregular in shape
• Ice cubes sticking to the mold and not dispensing
• The icemaker not producing ice at all
• Leaks around the icemaker area

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This icemaker fill cup and bearing assembly directs water from the inlet tube into the ice mold and provides the pivot point for the shutoff arm. Replacing a cracked or missing cup helps stop leaks, misdirected fills, and inconsistent ice production.

• Channels incoming water into the ice mold to prevent splashing and overfilling
• Provides the pivot/bearing for the ice level (shutoff) arm
• Helps maintain consistent cube size and reliable icemaker shutoff
• Typical symptoms: water or ice buildup under the icemaker, overfilling or hollow/irregular cubes, or a loose/binding shutoff arm

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin and detach the icemaker to access the side-mounted cup
• Position the new cup directly under the fill tube; secure with existing hardware and verify the shutoff arm pivots freely in the bearing
• Restore power and water; run a test fill and check for leaks

The Water Reservoir is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It stores and chills water before it is dispensed through the refrigerator's water dispenser. This component ensures that you have a steady supply of cold water available directly from your fridge.

Common causes of a bad water reservoir include cracks or leaks from regular use, exposure to extreme temperatures, or blockages from mineral deposits.

Symptoms of a bad water reservoir include:

• Water leaks inside the refrigerator
• The water dispenser not dispensing properly
• Unusual tastes or odors in the water
• Visible cracks or damage to the reservoir

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

A replacement drain pan that captures defrost and condensation water to keep it contained and away from the cabinet and floor. Restores the appliance's normal water-collection path and helps reduce leaks. What it does:

• Collects melting ice and condensation from the evaporator to prevent water from pooling under the appliance.
• Channels collected water toward the drain system so it evaporates or exits as designed.
• Stops common symptoms like puddles or moisture under the unit and musty odors caused by standing water.
• Fits under the evaporator/coil area to restore proper water management.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service to avoid electrical hazards.
• Remove the required access panels or move the appliance per the manufacturer's guidance to reach the pan.
• Lift out the old pan carefully—it may contain standing water—and position the replacement so the drain outlet and routing match the OEM layout.
• After installation, restore power and check for proper water flow during a defrost cycle; inspect surrounding seals and tubing for proper seating.

The Ice Maker Control Module is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It acts as the brain of the ice maker, controlling and regulating its various functions to ensure efficient and consistent ice production.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker control module include:

• No ice production or intermittent ice production
• Ice maker not cycling on or off correctly
• Errors or error codes related to the ice maker on the refrigerator's display
• Unusual noises or clicking sounds from the ice maker

Causes of a bad control module can range from electrical issues, such as power surges or voltage fluctuations, to physical damage or wear and tear over time.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This gasket/seal creates a tight barrier between two mating parts in your appliance to prevent leaks and performance loss. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper sealing and helps stop seepage at the joint. What it does

• Forms a reliable seal between components to prevent fluid or air leaks
• Maintains proper operation by keeping the sealed area contained
• Replaces gaskets that are brittle, cracked, flattened, or swollen
• Common signs include residue or moisture around the joint, visible wear on the old gasket, or a loose/poor seal

• 1 gasket/seal

• Disconnect power and any water or gas supply before servicing
• Note the gasket's orientation; compare old and new parts before installation
• Clean and dry mating surfaces; remove old adhesive and debris
• Seat the gasket evenly; do not overtighten fasteners; test for leaks after reassembly
