Product review (2 stars): Item Appears to be Refurbished and is not NEW
The item description states that this is a genuine whirlpool replacement. It does not state anywhere in the description that it might have been used or refurbished.

The front of the ice chute (visible when installed in the refrigerator) has black scuff marks.
There are also black scuff marks on the left most edge and on the left most tines where the ice cubes slide when ejected.
The bottom of the ice maker has very sloppy solder marks on the heating element where it may have been repaired.

The ice maker that I removed from my refrigerator had none of these marks and the heating element had no solder on it.

I am keeping this unit instead of replacing it since it does appear to function correctly.

Items which are not NEW should be marked as USED or REFURBISHED very clearly.
