I'm not sure but I suppose: replace by - to remove (or to take out) the original thing and put instead of it something another replace with - (if there are 2 things, for example) each thing takes the place of the other one so that both remain (but change theit places)

I too am an English learner but I don't feel a big difference between 'replace with' and 'replace by'. Personally I like better the expression 'replace with'. The only case I would prefer 'replace by' is in a passive construction where someone is taken over his post by other person. "Mr Collin Powell will be replaced by Ms Condolezza Rice."
