Product review (5 stars): It came promptly and was easy to install
I have a Whirlpool side-by-side fridge.  The original ice maker quit working after a plastic gear broke.  It was replaced by a so-called remfg one under an extended warranty.  It quit working after approximately 18 months  I ordered the Whirlpool 2198597 ice maker.  It came promptly and was easy to install.  Took some longer then it should have because the one being replaced had leaked water and everything was frozen in place and had to be warmed with my wife's hairdryer to get it out.  It was a exact replacement except the plastic reservoir that receives the water was slightly taller then the original.  Had to snip off a little of the plastic hose onthe delivery tube to get it into the reservoir.  No big deal, took a few seconds.  At first, it didn't seem to be making ice.  After a few hours, it started making ice and since then has made ice on a regular basis.  I am very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone.  There is a excellent video on u tube on how to install this model.  It was very helpful in pointing out some of the releases to remove the old one.
