Product review (5 stars): installing the new ice maker is very easy, two screws and a plug need to be ...
this product is an exact replacement for my ice maker and started to make ice within two hours of installation. installing the new ice maker is very easy, two screws and a plug need to be removed/installed to swap ice makers. note that there is a small square test button on the bottom of the ice maker motor compartment. pressing this button will allow you to test the new ice maker. after pressing the button the ice maker will cycle thru a harvest and refill with water. a great way to be sure everything is in proper order. after examining my failed ice maker it is clear that the wires for the thermistor sensor failed due to metal fatigue. the wires are bent each time ice is harvested from the tray. after a couple of years of ice making one of the two wires broke.
