Product review (2 stars): Failed after 1 year
The part appears to be a direct replacement for the original, so replacement was a snap. The unit failed after 1 year . It stopped controlling the Water supply.

After looking on line for issues, I  found that Whirlpool had Updated the Ice maker in 2013. I found a 2013 replacement model on Ebay. It may take another year to see how it does. Oh the cost for the new model is nearly double.
