Whirlpool D7824706Q Ice Maker for Refrigerator

If you're reading this then you're probably neck deep in trying to figure out if there's any chance this will actually fit your fridge. While I'm not sure how much help I can be with that, all I can do is share my experience. My fridge is a Kenmore 79142 built around 2000. The ice maker in it puked and I needed a new one. After searching forever I finally convinced myself that this one would fit just fine. It seems like there are only a handful of ice maker manufacturers that send their units to everyone who, in turn, put their own model numbers on them and *poof*...confusion city.

In the end this ice maker fit just fine. The ice tray is metal unlike some of the cheaper plastic generic units. The description says this is a genuine Whirlpool part but the box is certainly very generic looking with a generic model number on it. I opened the box, it looked like a quality unit and I installed it. The next day I had ice so that's a win in my book. It's been working great ever since. Depending on your particular setup you might need to borrow brackets and the wiring harness from your old unit. I also had to remove the scored cutout section for the water inlet. Beyond that it was pretty much plug and play.

This ice maker worked perfect. It was easy to install and after five years I finally have ice again. Love it.

This ice maker is OK, it works fine, but it was a job

to install. The wiring harness was too short, needed

to be slightly modified to fit the water supply tube,etc.

I would spend a few more dollars and buy the exact replacement

next time. They are also advertised on Amazon. The dealer

price on this item is $152 incidentally. Also, buy both the

valve and ice maker together for a bit more savings.

The icemaker was delivered promptly and was pretty easy to install. The only caveat I'd offer is that I thought it best to re-use a couple of clip on parts off the old one (for instance, the arm that dips down to sense ice volume. The one that came with this unit was slightly different.

Been working flawlessly for several weeks. No complaints at all. I liked that it came with the test diagram in the instructions (the front panel, when off, shows where to use a multimeter probe to find out what's broken. Although hopefully I'll never need to do that!)

Finally, I have mounds of blessed ice in the tray! My old icemaker s-l-o-w-l-y died over years, delivering fewer trays until it would only cough out one every few days and then none at all.

This replacement was identical, except it doesn't come with the wire harness you just unplug from the old maker. Less than half the price of the maker from Sears, and about half of local parts stores. Great!

The only thing you need to know is there is a TINY screw on the side of the face, that can be turned SLIGHTLY in or out to adjust the fill time, if your water pressure is unusually low or high.
