Product review (4 stars): Ice Maker for my Kenmore
I couldn't get the new ice maker to work so I reinstalled my old ice maker and my old ice maker worked.  Not wanting to send the new ice maker back, (my old one was showing signs of wear), I reinstalled the new ice maker and it worked this time.  I believe the new ice-maker was fine the first time that I installed it.  Why they both didn't work is a mystery.

This ice maker is relatively easy to install if you have some handy-man skills.  Test the fill valve and look for dirt, slime, ice, or blockage in the fill circuit path before condemning the ice-maker.  It is a good idea to take apart and clean everything in that fill circuit and to install an in-line water filter.  Crud happens.
