Product review (5 stars): Funny Story!!!
Bought this when our ice-maker suddenly quit working in 2016. Amusingly, like a toothache stops hurting when you pull into the dentist's office parking lot, a day or so after we received this unit our ice maker came back to life and started blasting out ice faster than we could use it. I decided to keep this replacement just in case or maybe sell it on Ebay. Well, when Hurricane Irma came to visit the Tampa Bay area we lost power for 5 days. When it came back on our ice-maker was kaput. We bought ice for several days and it stayed dead so I pulled this one out of the closet and installed it. Was an exact match and total R & R time (only installed the unit inside freezer, not the water inlet valve or other parts that came included) was about 15 minutes. Recommend this for anyone needing a Whirlpool replacement, just verify your fridge model number is compatible. Wife says now that we've replaced the ice maker the fridge itself will probably die soon - LOL - but it's working great so far and price was definitely right.
