Ice maker broke again!
This refrigerator is less than 2 years old. I have had to replace the ice maker 2 times now. Cheap ass parts! Only one ice maker you can order so just be prepared to replace it yearly!

Over the past 6 months, I noticed we were getting less and less ice. Finally it just stopped all together.
I found that the fill solenoid for the ice maker was down to a drip when energized. I ordered from this site and replaced. now plenty of water, but the ice maker would just stall and jump teeth. The heater which heats the ice up to free it from the mold was defective. Ordered from this site, and now working great.this sitet has good pricing, and the help illustration is great, and explains the sequence of events. This made it easy to troubleshoot. This refrigerator has not give a problem in over 11 years. The problem is "the ice maker". I have replaced it 6 times.

Needed to replace ice maker which had been making clicking noises as ice got jammed and then stopped working altogether.
Followed the instructions that came with replacement ice maker...was very clear and easy to follow and only took 5 minutes. I also watched the video sent via email with my order confirmation which was very well done and easy to follow. The only information that would have helped would have been a note to wait over-night for the ice maker to make ice as I thought I did something wrong when it wasn't making ice right away....waited until morning and had lots of ice. If I knew how straight forward and easy this was, I would have done it a lot sooner.

Ice maker stopped making ice.
It was very simple, used a nut driver to loosen the attachment nuts that held the ice maker in place. Disconnected the wiring harness. Removed the leveling tab from old ice maker and attached it to the new one. Then reassembled in the reverse order. As they say it was no brainer! The best part of the repair, was hearing the ice dump.

The fridge had very long wire plus needed adapter wire. Needed longer zip ties than those included with unit.
Followed on line video. Also water supply tube on fridge was full of ice. You can pull it out and run hot water on it to clear.

Ice Maker not producing / Clicking / Off-cycle
We love our ice here. I seem to replace the ice makers one to two times a year. Generally the ice cycle gets off for some reason and it starts making loud popping/clicking noises (gear grinding). Its easy to replace. Simply loosen two screws holding the unit to inside of freezer and disconnecting the wiring harness. Unit slide up and out. Replacement is super easy (5 mins or less). Bam! Ice!

Ice maker not making ice
Ordered ice maker, watch video of how to. It takes less than 5 min. Installes just like the video. Loosen 2 1/4" Screws, lift ice maker up, unplug old unit, Reverse. Just make sure water tube is lined up when you install new unit and wire is tucked up out of the way. Mine did not really start making ice till the next day.

Ice maker stopped working
The repair took only 5 minutes. I removed the ice bin, which just slides out, then loosened 2 screws at the back-top of the ice maker. I then unplugged the broken ice maker, removed it, put in the new one, re-tightened the screws and plugged it in. It was making ice within an hour.

Ice maker stopped making Ice.
The service man that I hired to fix my Ice maker removed the broken one. This is how I saw how easy it was to install. When the new one arrived all I had to do was plug it in then tighten 2 screws with the right size nut driver. This was the hardest part of the install havng the right tool for the job. Now I have Ice!

The ice maker wasn't turning out any ice cubes.......
It was just a simple replacement, three nuts to loosen , a slight adjustment on the timer and reversal installation...As simple as replacing a light bulb! You needn't be a brain surgeon to do this job! Your installation video was very helpful....Thank you PartSelect Chuck McCann

old ice maker didn't work
installed new ice maker. Was very esay - the only problem I had was the length of the wire, due to the need to use the adapter, was hard to menauver around so that it didn't contact the bottom of the ice maker. Would be best if it was configured so that you had the right wire connection and didn't have to use the adaptor.
