Product review (2 stars): Works but has issues
After 9 years I replaced the OEM original ice maker in my whirlpool gold side by side with this model. it worked just fine for about 20 months until about a month ago when it stopped making ice. I got online and tried several things to "jump start" it and it would work intermittently over a couple of weeks. The past week absolutely nothing. It seemed the ice cubes would get stuck all the time in the plastic tines and had to be removed so not sure if this contributed to the motor going bad. This "aftermarket" replacement is still available on Amazon but I chose to take the more affordable route and pay the extra $29 and get the OEM Whirlpool replacement. $50 and headaches every 2 years or $72 and hopefully get another 9 years out of it?  Hhmmm? OEM it is.
