ice maker stoped working
Took less than 10 min to install following the inclosed instructions. At first it was not making enough ice to make me happy so I set the temp. a little colder in freezer. Now making ice like crazy. Works better than the old one ever did. Very happy with the new replacement.

Ice maker quit making ice
I followed the video that came with my email receipt but i had to use the extra electrical adapter, there is no where to put the extra wiring so it is hanging next to the wall. I was glad I didn't have to unplug the fridge. just kept the wire up so no water would come out. It took several hours to start working and it doesn't make as much ice as the old one, but at least it works. It was a very informative video. Thanks

Ice maker not generating much ice
We reviewed the video posted on your site for guidance. It was very helpful to see someone do the repair. The project went just as described in the video. Within 24 hours I had a full bin of ice!

Failure of temperature control
Unplugged refrigerator. Removed control knob and cover. Unwired control and removed same. Removed plastic tube from old capillary tube and placed on new unit. Installed and wired in new unit, making sure new unit was in the "off" position. Plugged in refrigerator, turned control knob to the first numerical setting, and was rewarded with the startup of the refrigerator compressor. Voila!

Ice maker quit working.
The two screws that held the ice maker in place could not be seen do to there location. I could only get one hand inside do to space restriction.So I placed a mirror inside so I could see the screw heads and from point it was very easy to see and line up the nut driver on the screw heads. I then lifted it up and unplugged the wiring and installed the new ice maker. Works like a charm. Paul

Stopped making ice.
I watched the video and it seemed pretty easy. I ordered the new ice maker. It arrived in 5 days and I chanted it in less the 30 minutes. A little tricky seeing where you have to loosen the screws but not hard. and in 2 hours I had ice again.

Ice Maker replacement
Went well overall. I really thought that you guys taking the time to create a very helpful video was awesome. Thanks for doing that! The only difficulty I had was that my old ice maker had the connection toward the front, while the new one was in the back. So I had to use the adapter and had so much extra wiring to bundle, and tie wrap, with little place to go with it that I got frustrated. Wish I just had the correct replacement wire to begin with. Nonetheless, we are stocked with a full bin of ice after about 3-4 days.

Blacks specs in ice cubes, lining deteriorating,
The repair went exactly as illustrated by the video offered by part select. That video was helpful and showed me step by step how to accomplish the repair. The replacement part was exactly the same as the original, thank you part select.( Allow the old ice maker to return to room temperature before you remove the 1/4 nut securing the level mechanism, otherwise the frozen head of the not will break off).

refrigerator wouldn't make ice
Very easy repair. Remove 2 screws, unplug wire harness. My model used the included harness adapter. I needed to secure the extra harness length with the included cable ties. Icemaker went back in smoothly with no problems. Making ice like crazy now.

no ice
instructions were very simple. Took about 10 minutes to replace the unit. Do NOT get excited about immediate ice because it took mine awhile to g et cranked up for full production. Anyone can do this! Saves about $150.00 in labor to have someone(no smarter than you) do it for you.
