Replacing the Ice Maker in the KitchenAid Superba Refrigerator

Many models of KitchenAid Superba refrigerators have an automatic ice dispenser built into the freezer compartment of the appliance. KitchenAid refrigerators are manufactured by Whirlpool, and as such, include a Whirlpool modular ice maker in the freezer compartment. The ice maker is designed to function for about five years, at which point it must be replaced. Rather than hiring a service technician to replace your ice maker after it dies, replace it yourself and reduce the downtime of the refrigerator.
