Product review (5 stars): PERECT REPLACEMENT!!
After reading mixed reviews but mostly positive, i went ahead and ordered. i was not disappointed! Fast delivery. it took 2 weeks before i had time to install it but when i did i had to clean up a big mess of frozen water from the old unit dripping down into the ice bin. The new unit came with wiring harness which matched perfectly for my whirlpool. I did move the old off switch (metal bar) to the new unit, the plastic face plate too . everything installed easy and lined up correctly. I think all i used was a 1/4" nut driver to install it. i read for some people it took 24 hours before making ice, but i kept my unit in the off position for an hour to let it "freeze" before turning it on and it began churning ice immediately. TIP: Prior to install i did clean the unit with clean water and then filled the ice tray with lemon water (I cut a whole lemon and squeezed it) to leech out the plastic taste for about an hour and i can report it worked. So far, so good, and the ice is almost clear and bigger after installing a pre-filter in my water line to compliment the inline filter. Even the through fridge water dispenser runs faster. I did have to adjust the water fill adjustment screw on the side to get a full fill inside the tray. Its so nice having a working ice maker again! and for the money - cant beat it! Thanks for reading my review, i hope it helps you decide.
