Product review (4 stars): EASY TO INSTALL AND MAKES LOADS OF ICE
I bought this unit to replace the original which was leaking and causing massive clumping in the ice cube bin. It fit the mounting hole pattern perfectly, and makes ice as well if not better than the original. You will need to remove the wiring harness from the old unit and install it onto this one before mounting; very easy to do. A quarter inch nut driver is the only tool you will need to remove and replace, and a screwdriver for the hatness. It is difficult to see what you are doing in the narrow freezer compartment of a side by side, but you can feel your way without too much difficulty. The two upper screws do not have to be removed, as there is a keyhole in the mounting brackets that allows you to hang the whole unit before tightening the screws. The only problem that I found is the shut off bar does not work properly. It will stop making ice completely if you lift the bar all the way up, as you would if removing the whole ice cube bin, but it does not throttle the device on and off as the bin fills and unfills. I do it manually which is no big deal, but other than that it is a very inexpensive retrofit that works very well.
