Removing a KitchenAid Superba Side-by-Side Ice Maker Front Panel

The front panel of a KitchenAid Superba ice maker protects the wiring assemblies that connect the ice and water dispenser paddles with the control panel and dispenser motors. You might want to remove the panel if you suspect the wiring is faulty; difficulty dispensing ice or water could be caused by a wiring issue. You can also access the parts connecting the dispenser paddles to the refrigerator to install replacements.
