Product review (4 stars): Ice Maker
I've had the icemaker installed for a few weeks now.  It is working perfectly.  It filled up the large container that we have on the refrigerator fairly quickly.  There are only two people in our house so it keeps it filled easily.  I wasn't sure if it would be an exact fit, but it worked out.  I used the original wiring and pigtail.  The wire bail on the new unit is a lighter guage than the original Whirlpool unit, I don't know if that will make a difference. The mechanicals seemed to be identical to the Whirpool unit it replaced. WARNING During the installation there is a plastic piece on the back of the unit that must be cut out for the water spout to fit in. It is somewhat brittle. In attempting to do this, the whole back piece got a hairline split.  It doesn't seem to be leaking however.  I don't have any suggestions on how to prevent this, just be careful and patient when performing this part of the installation. This unit was by far the most economical replacement that I could find and as I mentioned, it is working perfectly.
