Product review (5 stars): OEM Replacement Ice Maker for my Whirl Pool Conquest Side by Side item 2198597
My original ice maker stopped making ice.  I performed the normal checks like first off checking to see if water (water valves also) was being delivered, and the additional checks for sensors functioning, power, motor working, etc.  I diagnosed a few parts that may have been the culprit, but buying parts individually would cost much more.  I also checked none OEM replacements at a lesser cost that probably would have worked fine.  However, I decided to pay the extra money for the OEM ice maker, and I am very happy with my decision.  The unit was an exact match and the performance did not disappoint.  I expect it to last for years to come and if needed could probably use parts from the old OEM unit.  Also, I selected standard shipping but the seller shipped this product very quickly; humorously they must have had sympathy that I needed ice immediately.  I would recommend this product to others.

(my standard note: When I rate a product I impart as much clarity and actual personal experience of the product as possible to hopefully assist others.  I do not use or allude to for the money; and more than likely neither will the manufacturer if they expect to sell a product.  If I pay $15 for a product selling in the market versus $500 for an original; I expect the same performance regardless of price savings.  Making and selling a product at a lower costs does not equate to cheap.  Less cost should only mean that a competitor has learned to do the same or better at a lower cost.)
