Product review (4 stars): Solenoid requires modifications!!!
Item is as described and is a replacement for the original solenoid for my nine year old Whirlpool model GS6SHA*K*0*. But, be forewarned, a self-installation is moderately difficult. If you have a water filter, the original water inlet bracket is riveted to the bracket for the solenoids. This rivet must be drilled out with a 5/16 inch bit. This allows for the separation of the solenoid bracket. The replacement solenoid has the electrical connectors pointing toward the refrigerator door instead of toward the back of the refrigerator. This requires the removal of the power cord connector to facilitate the rerouting of the solenoid wires. The inlet water bracket must be reinstalled lower than the solenoid bracket, in order for the solenoid water lines to miss the water inlet line on the old bracket. The whole process took me about three hours and I am an experienced DIYer. That being said, the solenoid works and is priced very reasonable. I had to prime the icemaker with water to get it to cycle the first time.
