This is exactly what I needed to replace my ice maker. I followed all your instructions and it worked seamlessly. I would even say the replacement manufacturer should post your video as the installation instructions instead of the paper one that was included. I'd say the most intimidating part of the installation was the wire cutting and crimping, but outside of that it was super easy. Thanks for the awesome video!

@UTECHPIA I believe you have shown how to remove the cover at 8:04? My model (in another video shows the ice maker assembly, and on the inside of that cover is a wiring diagram) is quite similar to yours. On that ice maker assembly there is a dial that can be used to restart the timer on the ice maker. There is a screw to adjust the duration of the water for crushed ice or cubed ice. I need to pull that cover off. All other videos they simply pull it off. You use a flat bladed screw driver to encourage it off? Thanks.

I was wondering how the icemaker has held up after 2 years? I need to install a new one and am contemplating the aftermarket one you got on Amazon vs a new OEM. The OEM requires installing the new wiring harness into the assembly whereas yours is an easier install. I saw some reviews where people said it had died on them after a year or so.
@UTECHPIA11 ай бұрын
The aftermarket one is still holding up well. NOTE: The ice-maker design is flawed, regardless of OEM or aftermarket, it's the same, once in awhile it will just stop making ice because the ice is stuck somewhere in the unit and you have to take out the unit, remove the stuck ice, and put the unit back in. I got used to the process and it takes about 5 minutes now :)
