Product review (5 stars): Easy to change out / Worked immediately
My 5 yr old closed a backpack strap on the freezer door side and the tines ended up getting frozen into the blocks of ice. I think this must have killed the motor, so I researched replacing it. I did all the tests on my old icemaker to see if I could bring it back to life. I could only ever get it to make one tray of ice and fill another tray - it wouldn't ever dump that second tray.

Because I had taken out the old icemaker half a dozen times, putting in the new one was a breeze. I had it in in about 15 minutes. There are some Youtube videos posted if you need help. Just a couple of things to note..You WILL have to make sure and keep the bracket your icemaker sits on. This one does not come with a new bracket. You WILL also have to keep your wiring harness. It doesn't come with a new wiring harness either. I had both of these things and everything switched out great. I had also ordered the optic kit thinking it might need to be replaced too. But after the icemaker started working normally, I returned the optics kit.

I did not have to do anything extra (like jumping the T and H) to get the icemaker to work. It filled pretty much immediately after I closed the freezer door. By morning, I had about 1/2 a bucket of ice! Perfect timing before our Christmas celebrations.

This price was about 1/3 of the appliance site I normally buy from and about 1/4 of the price Sears has it listed as! A plus in my book!

We did notice that it seemed to stop making ice at one point. I turned the on/off switch to OFF and then turned it back to ON again. It picked right back up and started making ice in regular cycles. Because I have a very independent and 'helpful' 5 yr old, I cannot say for sure if he possibly moved the switch at some point or if this was the fault of the icemaker. if it turns out to be the icemaker, I'll update my review. But as of now, it gets 5 stars!
