Whirlpool 2198597A Whirlpool Refrigerator Ice Maker Kit for Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Jenn

I installed the new ice maker tonight. It is essentially the same as the old one for my Kenmoore (Whirlpool) 106.56532400 side-by-side refrigerator but with one redesign I hope improves performance. The original ice maker had a problem with the fill tube freezing. The new ice maker has a higher "wall" around the fill tube. I assume this is to block the air from the cooling duct freezing the water as it is dispensed into the tray--I hope I am right and that it works. One note for do-it-yourself types, it took our freezer about 3-hours for the first ice to drop (spec says up to 24-hours). From what I read, this is a function of the ice maker tray being cold enough--expected status. One last thought/recommendation: the new ice maker was dusty and you cannot get it perfectly clean so I will dump the first bin of ice.

It took me 15-20 minutes to install it into my Kitchen Aid fridge and few hours later I saw first few cubes of ice in the bucket. Works just fine, no issues, strongly recommend. Technician wanted $600+ to do the same.

I was nervous at first because obviously most of us don't go around installing ice makers all the time. I also debated on the official whirlpool product versus the knock-off. After reading pros and cons, I decided to go with the official product and glad I did so. It might have been more, but I know this is the product that is supposed to go with our refrigerator.

The old one slid out easily and the new one slid in easy. We were initially nervous because ice cubes didn't pop out in seconds, but within two hours, voila there were ice cubes. Hooray! Definitely recommend.

have only had this for a few weeks, but it is working great. We had to us the bottom plate from the old one, this does not come with it. But my husband had it put together and installed in no time at all.
