Product review (5 stars): it was great to be able to order this one off Amazon
While I'd prefer my ice maker didn't break in the first place, it was great to be able to order this one off Amazon. The first time my LG/Kenmore Elite ice maker stopped working, a press-and-hold of its reset switch was enough to get it running again. A few months later, it was dead as a door nail. After a quick part number lookup (type your 'fridge model number and ice maker in your favorite search engine), I found this.
A "how to" guide would have been handy, replacement was much simpler than I ended up making it. The only tool required is a #2 phillips-head screwdriver. It's basically held in with 2 or 3 screws.... but you don't learn which 2 or 3 until you remove a good 7 or so in taking the old one out. With a little patience, anyone can replace it. Basically, just put everything back the way you found it (even if it takes 3 or 4 tries).
