Product review (4 stars): Maytag D7824706Q review
This item was an exact replacement for my Kenmore side by side unit. I had to remove the lower screw completely, and loosen the two upper screws to begin to remove the unit. The tricky part was unplugging the existing wiring harness from the rear of the unit, without really being able to see what I was doing-the harness is very short. I finally got the old one out, and installed the new one. I made sure the wire bail was down, and left it in overnight. The next morning I could tell the unit had not cycled. I contacted the sellers customer service by email for suggestions. He quickly advised me to check the freezer temperature, and leave the new unit in for 24 full hours. I did check the freezer temp, and it was about 17 F. I lowered the freezer thermostat one setting, and within one hour, the unit cycled and was making ice, and has been ever since. Many of the newer icemakers have thermostats that are set colder than earlier models. Make sure that your freezer is 10 F or cooler, before giving up on the product. That tip saved the seller a return, and me a bunch of hassle.
