Product review (5 stars): One part of two to get good ice cubes again
I bought this item to replace a worn-out icemaker in our 14-year old Kenmore refrigerator. It had stopped making ice altogether, and my research pointed me to change this out first. The old icemaker's lining was pretty much gone, and information online indicated that caused the cubes to come out 'hollow', or not solid ice. It turned out the reason no ice was coming out at all was a water inlet valve failure; I bought one (also from Amazon), and between the two it resolved all our icemaking issues. All cubes are now solid and full-sized, just like new.

Installation was relatively easy. The hardest part was maneuvering my hands to reach the attachment screws in the confines of the freezer space. Remember to unplug your fridge or turn off the appropriate circuit breaker before doing any work on an appliance such as this one. As with any repair job, proper tools are important.

If you're having problems with your icemaker, be sure to look at both the icemaker and the water inlet valve--they work together to make your cubes.
