Product review (5 stars): Perfect fit and Nice Quality
Our ice maker finally gave up the ghost after about 15 years. We have an Amana side-by-side refrigerator with an ice maker in the door. The model number on our old ice maker unit was S 106 626640. I admit that I had a little trouble cross-referencing this exact number, it did not show up on any replacement list I could find. That said, I was able to go directly to the Supco web site where they gave a lot more information about these ice makers - which I knew nothing about before I started.

I ordered this unit because everything suggested it should replace nearly 90% of the ice makers out there. I guess I had no idea that ice makers like this were such a drop-in commodity. The RIM900 model from Supco was a nearly identical replacement for my ice maker. I ended up having to re-use the wiring harness from my old ice maker, which I was okay with since the harness was in perfect condition. I also had to remove the wire lift-arm and re-use my old lift arm. My old arm has an additional wire attached to it - apparently so the ice level won't get as high. Swapping both of these items on the new ice maker was simple, self-explanatory, and took only seconds.

The pamphlet that came with the new ice maker said that I should wait at least several hours before deciding if the unit worked or not. Apparently the ice maker must reach 10 F before it will even fill the water tray. In my case that only took about an hour, the manual indicates it could be as much as 12 hours. For my repair, and in my freezer, the unit began dumping ice within 5 hours of the repair. After about 12 hours had passed the unit had made a few rounds of ice.

I am very pleased. The unit is practically a drop-in replacement for the old unit on my Amana side-by-side, model # ARSE67RBB, with ice maker model # S_106_626640.  I purchased this replacement unit RIM900 made by Supco. I'm not sure how to describe the "quality" of the unit, it is virtually identical to what came out of the fridge in almost every detail - and it functioned perfectly on the first shot. It has made several batches of ice since then.

I did learn something very obvious, that I just didn't consider: If the unit makes some small ice cubes and some large ice cubes ... you may want to check how level your fridge is from front-to-back, and from side-to-side. If the fridge isn't level, the water in the tray won't freeze level and you'll get different sized ice cubes. You can either tweak the level of the ice maker itself by loosening screws, leveling the unit, and retightening them. Or, I suppose, just check that your entire fridge is level.
