Product review (5 stars): Magic fix for my constantly-malfunctioning ice maker
The ice maker in our new fridge was constantly on the fritz, despite multiple warranty repair visits where various parts of it were replaced to no avail. I did some online research and saw that some find that their ice tastes better and the machines work better with a copper line, so I decided to give it a try. The whole process took us about 15 minutes, and our ice maker has worked perfectly ever since! It was quick and easy to install. Make sure to turn the water back on to verify that there are no leaks at the connections before pushing fridge back against wall. If your ice maker is not working reliably, I'd highly recommend switching to a copper water line. This one came with various attachments that are for different installation scenarios, so I think it is a universal kit. Interestingly, my fridge had a sticker on the back that said "Use with copper line only." In spite of this, the professional installers put in plastic *sigh*! It's so nice to finally have a reliable ice maker, and the ice does seem to taste better!
