Review: Perfect Replacement...and the Most Economical Solution to a Broken Icemaker - The ice-maker on my fridge started leaking water down the sides, making a mess. I removed it and the non-stick coating on the ice mold tray was gone in several places and coming up in several more. I think the frozen ice was sticking to the mold and not completely emptying into the ice tray, and when it filled back with water, because some ice was still in the mold, it was over-filling and spilling over. Replacing the ice mold is fairly simple, but I was surprised to find out just the ice mold was about $70. I kept seeing this complete ice-maker pop up on desertcart for $90, and after I read the reviews I just sprung for this entire unit instead of just the mold. Shipping was ridiculously fast. I ordered on Wednesday night and had the ice-maker in hand Friday afternoon. No Prime or special shipping costs, just normal shipping. Since I already had my unit out it was a simple matter to put this unit in, simply attach the bottom off the old unit, snap the end of the wiring harness into the hole, slide the new unit into the freezer, and plug in the wiring harness. Like another reviewer noted the water cup is a little taller than my old unit, but I was able to bend it up and get it into the new cup without much problem. After about 5 minutes the tines moved into place and water filled the tray, and after about an hour I had ice. It has been working perfectly since the installation. The unit I received was a original Whirlpool unit in a factory box, and I couldn't be more pleased. I know I saved several hundred dollars and a day of vacation by doing it myself.
Review: Works like a charm - I ordered this product to replace the broken icemaker in my Kenmore elite side-by-side refrigerator freezer. It was a quick and easy install. It took less than 15 minutes to install in my freezer and started making ice within 12 hours. This product was an exact fit and works just like the original equipment. I ordered one that was listed as used but very good. It looked like it was brand new and I saved a lot of money versus ordering it from Sears. People need to realize it could take 24 to 48 hours to make the first batch of ice. Give it time after you install it. I think some people return it because it didn’t make ice right away and they think it is broken. There is a video on the order page that gives you the step by step install directions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked perfectly in my Kenmore Coldspot 106.56542400
*by A***R on November 3, 2016*

This worked perfectly in my Kenmore Coldspot 106.56542400. My original ice maker had major damage to the ice tray coating stuff which made ice get stuck. It may have had other issues too. My fridge was manufactured in 2005 and the ice maker messed up maybe a year or two ago. This is the first time I've replaced it, so not bad for about 12 years of service. The replacement looks identical to the original other than maybe the water inlet cup part is slightly taller. This just meant bending the water inlet rubber piece towards the front of the fridge when installing. I could have cut the rubber part shorter but I didn't want to mod it in any way to be sure I didn't create a new issue (like the water line freezing or something). As the very brief instruction strip indicated I did have to reuse the plastic tray piece (they called it a mount, I believe) from the old ice maker on the new ice maker. I think most replacements require this as the ice maker is generic but the mounting tray piece is specific to the fridge. This is the piece that actually slides on the rails and is held to the bottom of the ice maker with 3 screws the same size as the one that holds the ice maker in the fridge. The hardest part for me was managing the power cable and the little plastic cover that goes over it. You don't have much room to work. Thankfully the power connection isn't so rock solid that it required any major force to disconnect. Overall, I'm very happy. I'm back to my fridge making ice instead of using trays every day. There are cheaper options on Amazon for this job but I'm glad I went with an exact whirlpool replacement. I just hope this one lasts the same 11 or 12 years as the original.
