Good ice maker replacement

I replaced the ice maker and it worked right away. I gave 4 stars for easy installation because the part where the water goes was not the same as the original, it was larger than the original. I had to disassemble the ice maker and use the old part. After that, installation was easy. The instructions say it will take 24 hours for the ice machine to start making ice, but it took about three hours. For the price I think it's good value at $70 + tax. Big savings if you install it yourself.

Pros
  • High test results for hold and durability
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Poorly built and burnt plastic!

This replacement was easily purchased and installed. It smelled strongly of chemicals from the start. They made ice cream but the freezer smelled awful from day one. Over time I noticed black debris on the top shelf. On closer inspection, burn marks were found. Disassembled and found that the plastic burns. The heating element came loose and settled on the plastic, causing burns and melting the plastic. Now we have to replace the plastic part and also find the best ice maker that didn't break.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Ok

Exact replacement of the old part.

I just installed this ice cream maker in a KitchenAid refrigerator, model KSRS251. Before attempting to install, I watched a few U-Tube videos on how to remove the old device and install the new device. Despite the fact that he has a different item, he installs in place of the old ice maker with no problems. It came with a new wiring harness which I didn't want to use. The original icemaker's heater grille installed with no problems. After installing it after about an hour it started making new

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Some cons

Fill up your bucket! for parts and accessories

I ordered this for a 15 year old KENMORE ULTRA FRESH but was a bit skeptical. It arrived in less than 24 hours, free shipping! Took me less than 30 minutes to set it up and made ice cream in an hour with the "Acceler ICE2" setup! Total: $61.32! My house guarantee would be $75 for a technician to come in 4 or 5 days and then tell me to order the parts and be back in about a week! * It's very simple, there are many videos on the internet to help you watch it. If like me you have a device withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Can't remember

Cautiously optimistic

Ordered this for my old Kenmore next door. Quite difficult to install but only because my freezer is so cramped I couldn't see what I was doing - almost everything had to be done by feel. There are absolutely NO instructions, which was very annoying. After installation it started VERY slowly. After 24 hours, the ice bucket was only 10% full. In the last day or two he's been picking up steam and is pounding the ice with all his might. Fingers crossed it continues to work as well. So far, soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Different but works great to my surprise

I installed this side by side ice maker in my Kenmore Elite; in the same month 106.57782704. The point is, it worked. This is very different from the design of the ice tray. It's grey, not black. The design is lighter, less cooling fins. The fill cup is smaller and needs to be replaced with an old one or an extension tube that is added to the water fill tube to keep the water where it should be. The bottom white plastic slider needs to be transferred from the old to the new. One problem is theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not bad

Maytag replacement ice maker

First ice maker ordered and lasted 1-2 days. It worked this time and has dispensed ice with no problems so far. The ice machine itself is fairly easy to install. Unscrew one screw on the back of the device at the bottom right of the electrical connection cover (remove cover), press the tab at the bottom left, disconnect the electrical connection and it is disconnected. Install in reverse order. You will also need to reattach the old heater cover to the bottom of the unit. Three screws, not big.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
