Product review (5 stars): Do not be afraid to buy this
I have a GE Monogram Professional side by side that had a piece of junk for an ice machine. After working so-so for a few years it just stopped working one day. For two years we went without an ice maker and I got tired of it. We called two different repair companies and were told that they didn't work on our particular machine, even one from the GE website. I figured that I would buy an exact replacement machine and install it myself which is what I was looking for when I saw this replacement machine and read the outstanding, detailed reviews by a few of the reviewers, so I bought it. I'm not afraid to take stuff apart and put it back together but I figured this would take at least half of my day to install. Well, in less than an hour the GE junk was out and this was installed. My husband went out to cut the grass and by the time he came in I had it done. It takes a few hours before you actually get ice so I was nervous but after a few hours I heard ice cubes plunking down into the plastic bin - awesome! It has worked perfectly for 6 months now. Ladies, don't be afraid to do this yourself and don't pay a repairman - just read the directions.
