Product review (5 stars): Ice Cubes All Stuck Together? - Here is An EASY Fix!
This item was received and it was very easy to install.  I read many other reviews about others who were concerned about the fact that the new model did not have any threads to connect the water line.  All one needs to do is to simply cut the threaded connector off of their current water line and then push the water line into the valve.  It makes a quick connection that is secure.  I purchased this item because my old water valve was about eight years old and it was not closing entirely, causing the ice in the tray to stick together and having a huge block of ice in the tray.  This item corrected the discrepancy immediately.  I looked at my parts manual for my Kenmore refrigerator.  It was manufactured in 2003 and the actual manufacturer was Whirlpool.  Many Kenmore models are also made by Frigidaire.  My parts manual specified this actual part number as a "substitute" for the OEM part but this one is better than the OEM part.  The time to install this item is only about five to ten minutes.  Be sure to turn off your water supply and raise the bail wire on the icemaker before changing the valve.  I give this item a full 5-star review.
