Supco RIM501 Replacement for Amana 1110702A and D7824706Q

With the exception thatthe wiring harness was about 1cm too short and I had to use the wiring harness from the old ice maker, this part worked perfectly the first time. My old ice maker was leaking and causing freeze buildup on the ice tray. Replaced with this part, and old wiring harness took about 15 minutes and a philips screw driver. Please note that you have to take the entire drawer of the freezer apart to conveniently get o the ice maker assembly, and it is critical to get the gears back inline with the notch on them for them to work perfectly. two thumbs up from me on this one.

Easy to install and has been working like a charm for a year now. I would certainly recommend purchasing this item.

This was the second replacement ice maker I've installed in this refrigerator. (Other than the ice maker, the refrigerator has worked great.) The first replacement I bought was an Amana from the dealer. It cost $116. You do the math.

I had trouble plugging in the wiring harness, but otherwise it was a simple installation. (Unlike other reviewers experiences, the wiring harness was a trifle too long and hung down below the unit.) After a day, it still wasn't producing ice. It could have simply been that it took an extra long time to cool down to operating temperature, but I decided to use the wiring harness from the unit I replaced. A few hours later it was pumping out ice.

This ice maker works better than the original. Periodically I have to shut it off because I have too much ice. Great performance at a cheaper price. Would that everything was this great of a deal.

TIP: I put the temperature control for the freezer unit between four and five. That seems to be the optimum for the ice maker. Cooler and it tends to freeze up. Warmer and it slows down.

I figure this unit will last two and a half to three years. Trays in ice makers used to be made of cast metal and would last the life of the refrigerator. Now the trays are made of plastic with some sort of coating which allows the ice to release easily. With the constant and heating and cooling the coating eventually breaks down. Prior to breaking down, you'll find bits of plastic in with your ice. The surface of the tray becomes pitted and will eventually be unable to release the ice. When you start seeing those plastic bits in with your ice, save yourself some time and buy a new replacement unit.

This was ordered as a replacement for an icemaker that has been trouble almost from the start. The only negative was that the wires that came with this replacement weren't quite as long as the ones with the old unit. Simply used the existing wires and the icemaker works now without leaking.
