Product review (5 stars): Very good quality part.  Have no issues putting it inside my freezer.  Ice cubes are now abundant again!
This is an exact OEM replacement part.  Was identical to the part I was replacing (except its brand new).  I always wondered where those little flakes floating in my drink came from, is the dishwasher not cleaning very well?  After 10 years, I decided to take my freezer's icemaker out to inspect.  Wow, much of the no-stick coating was gone or was loose and coming off.  This part is an exact replacement to the kenmore/whirlpool part I needed.  And it comes with a dab of the Alumilastic already applied at the right spot where the thermostat will make contact.  I won't wait ten years to replace this part again.  They do have a fixed lifespan.  Just because the icemaker is working without issue doesn't mean everything's okay.  Much of my ice was being made in  a tray where the outer non stick coating was no longer there.  The bare metal was exposed.
