Product review (5 stars): Stops the inifinite ice production
Does your ice maker keep making ice with no end?  Does the ice turn into a giant block of impenetrable frozen water?  This is exactly what we had happen.  The ice maker would simply not stop making ice, which led the ice to get too high.  Once the ice got too high, the heating cables would melt the top layer. The melted top layer made one giant block of ice in our ice machine....

We thought we were going to spend over one thousand bucks to replace the machine until we finally found some information about this thermostat.  So, we thought, "Oh why not spend a small amount just to see what happens...."  Sure enough, the ice maker is back to normal after a 5 minute learning curve regarding removal of two screws and the top plastic guard plate. After removal of the plate, you simply plug-in the new thermostat and replace the plate.  Result? A perfectly functioning ice maker (at least for us).
