Product review (5 stars): Inexpensive, Works Perfectly, Easy Install
Replaced the ice maker on our Sub-Zero 532. Our old ice maker hadn't been working properly for nearly 2 years. Finally bought this one and installed it in about an hour. Make sure you use a small spirit level and make absolutely certain the unit is level when you're installing it (the mounting screws give some range of adjustability). When I removed the old unit (at least 16 years old) all of the coating on the trays looked incredibly disgusting, I can't believe we were using ice made by that thing. TIP: Remove the wire bale that signals the ice level in the drawer, and install it on the new unit, should fit with no problem. Had it for three months now, works perfectly. A few things to remember.... if you install this unit correctly and you still don't get ice, first check the freezer temperature. If you're not below the thermostat setpoint (0 deg. F is a good freezer temp, use a thermometer to verify), it won't make ice. If it still won't make ice, check the water supply solenoid valve (usually on the outside of the back of the refrigerator, near the bottom). If it's not functional, it won't make ice. Had both the solenoid and the ice maker go bad on my condo unit refrigerator, so you can't assume one is good if the other is bad.
