Product review (5 stars): Home Owner trying something new
My Kenmore refrigerator, made by Whirlpool needed and new ice maker after many years of operation.
After watching a few Youtube videos on how to remove and replace an ice maker on my model, I felt confident in making the attempt myself. I purchased the replacement ice maker, received it few days later, in good condition, and spent 15 minutes cleaning it before attempting the replacement. The cleaning did not appear necessary, but, that not the way I was raised. :)
I spent another 15 minutes doing the R&R.
The water receiver cup is a little taller on the replacement, so it took a little extra maneuvering to do the install, but no real issue.
The first ice cubes dropped in about 3 hours, and then about every two hours after that for the rest of the day.
I emptied the ice bucket that night, before bed, and woke up to it being about 1/4 full the next morning.
With moderate use, (it's summer time in Houston, TX) the ice bucket was full in three days.
It's now been running about week.
I am very pleased with the product, the vendor and the money saved by the DIY
