Product review (5 stars): Perfect replacement for the original
One day my great GE French style refrigerator started making a thumping noise.  It kept up for days.  Finally I isolated it to the ice maker in the upper part that was trying to lift the arm that detects if there is ice in the compartment. I almost never use ice so I pulled the device from the refrigerator and what would you know... the refrigerator just stopped.  Seems that the device is required for the computer in the refrigerator to actually run.  So, I let the stupid thing thump for months.  It became like a clock ticking but very loud.  The dogs would just stare at the refrigerator at times.

Online there were three possible causes.  A clogged water line, a bad mainboard on the refrigerator, or a bad component in the ice maker.  Clearly the water line was working as the icemaker had frozen ice in it and if I manually triggered it, it ejected ice and refilled.  A bad mainboard was kind of the worst case.  So, I took a chance and bought a replacement ice component.

Now this device is pretty simple and mechanical like something from Germany.  I have a degree in engineering and took the thing apart and tested all of the parts and it is the motor that was failing.  A motor is the same cost as replacing the entire thing.  So I got a replacement of the entire thing, and in less than a minute from it arriving, I not only had ice, but I didn't have that annoying ticking every few minutes.

It is a perfect replacement for the original.
