Product review (2 stars): Not OEM!! Not whirlpool branded like the box in picture.
I was expecting it to be in a whirlpool box like the picture. Looked all over Amazon and, due to bad reviews on some of the knockoff "replacement kits" out there, decided to spend a little extra for the genuine OEM "whirlpool brand". No instructions were included, but YouTube is great for that. Had it been genuine Whirlpool brand this would be 5 stars. It's disingenuous to say that you are selling brand name and pulling a switcheroo on unexpecting and often inexperienced consumers. Misrepresenting a "replacement kit" as genuine. There was also some sort of thermal compound/paste on the underside of the tray (something like Arctic Silver). I'm not even sure if this is a new ice maker or refurbished. SMH. Seems to work. Only time will tell if it lasts. Not worth the hassle to return as my old one was leaking into the bin and freezing into one solid block.
