Product review (5 stars): Exact replacement, easy, 1-screw installation.
The ice level on my LG fridge has never been satisfactory; always packing too high if our use didn't outpace ice production. Over time ice was also piling up on the shelf (cover) to the rear and under the ice maker requiring removing the bin and chipping the accumulation away every few weeks. Evidently there was also an occasional leak of unfrozen water into the ice bin which would clump a group of cubes together and cause problems with dispensing as the large clump would not fit within the smaller clearance of the dispenser conveyance coil. All in all a most unsatisfactory performance of the original ice maker.

The new unit from Amazon arrived very fast and since I had read many reviews proclaiming the ease of installation I was not surprised to find the operation to be little more than a five minute job. An hour or two later I heard the reassuring sound of an ice harvest. I've peeked in on the ice level a few times since the change out and have found a bountiful supply but never overflowing even after returning home from being away for several days.

We are most happy with the new mechanism (and the great price on Amazon) and wonder why I didn't do this sooner. This corrected the only flaw that we have found on an otherwise great refrigerator.
