Product review (5 stars): Water in flow tube too long.
Encountered same problem with the water intake area being too high to pass the ice maker by the water inflow tube as I tried to slid it into place. Rather than cut the plastic intake area down I cut the tube off exactly 1/2" with a box cutter and that allowed the the ice maker to slid by and seat in the proper position. The ice maker has been in place about one month and has performed perfectly. The videos on line were very helpful.
