Product review (5 stars): Excellent price!
This is an excellent low-priced bolt-in replacement for a worn-out or defective existing Whirlpool icemaker. The actual part number on the box is IM943 and includes the shut-off arm (some replacements don't). This is a direct replacement for Whirlpool 4317943 and aftermarket replacement GE IM500 & Supco/Armstrong RIM500 icemakers. On the Supco website it shows that this icemaker fits virtually all Whirlpool models ...[...]... and it will also fit virtually all Sears/Kenmore models manufactured by Whirlpool and most KitchenAid models. Keep in mind that this is NOT a complete icemaker kit for installation in a refrigerator that didn't come with an icemaker and it does not include the water valve or ice bin. If the problem with your icemaker is with the water valve this will NOT fix your problem. There aren't any installation instructions included because this unit is typically used by the service industry, but installation is self explanatory once you remove and examine the old icemaker. This is a repair that any do-it-yourselfer can easily do and save $150 to $200! Installation took about 15 minutes and it started making ice within 2 hours. NOTE: If the icemaker is making hollow ice cubes, the icemaker is not level. Shipping/delivery from McCombs Supply Company was fast and the part was double boxed.
