Product review (5 stars): This is an original part.
When my icemaker quit working, all I could think was how much money it was going to cost me to get it fixed. Then, I started looking at it to see how hard it would be to take it out. It didn't look too bad so, I started looking around for an appliance parts store close by. None of them keep this icemaker in stock and they wanted about $135 to order it. I started a Google search and found several for way less money. This one wasn't the cheapest but, the reviews were very positive. I could have gotten on "off brand" for less but, I wanted the one that Whirlpool uses when they build their refrigerators. This one appears to be the one. Removing the old one and installing the new one was easy. One screw removes a guard over the wiring harness, then unplug the harness and, the whole thing slides right out. Flip it upside down and remove the three screws holding the mounting bracket on the icemaker. Attach the mounting bracket to the new icemaker, slide it in, plug in the harness and, reinstall the guard. Done! Now, it makes ice just like it is supposed to and, no huge bill for appliance repair.
