Product review (5 stars): Works for about 3 to 4 Years
These things wear out. Don't expect it to last forever. I have had to replace this about every 3 to 4 years. But we use alot of ice. I think it is the motor that wears out. It is pretty simple to replace. I would recommend someone with some repairs skills do the replacement. It might be to much for a beginner. You can find "How to" videos on YouTube.
