Kenmore Ice Maker Icemaker W10122502 & 2198597

• Non Oem Part

It was so easy to install this replacement icemaker in my Kenmore Elite fridge. Took a total of about 10 minutes. All parts and directions were included so it was no problem to put in.

Just one thing to remember if your old icemaker hasn't been working for a while, once you put in the new icemaker, you will most likely need to defrost the freezer so the water line can thaw. I forgot about that when I first installed this new icemaker so I was disappointed when it didn't work right away. Then I remembered that the water line to the freezer was probably frozen since our icemaker had been broken for about 6 months. Once I turned the fridge off and let it sit for about 4-5 hours, I plugged it back in and in maybe an hour or two I had ice cubes again! Awesome.

Oh yeah one more thing you'll want to throw away the first few batches of ice from the new icemaker because the water in the line will probably be stagnant (if the old icemaker was broken for a while).

I am very pleased with my purchase and happy I installed the part myself. I saved about $80 over purchasing the same part directly from Sears, and about $145 over having some repair person do it for me.

Excellent!

Item arrived on time and instructions were clear. However, even though this was the correct "replacement" part for my fridge, apparent this "replacement" part is also used on other brand and model number fridges as well. Unfortunately, in an attempt to have this unit function as a universal replacement for multiple refrigerators, not everything lined up. The power harness was ok, but not as good of a quality as the one I took out. Worse, the top "neck" where the water enters wasn't tall enough and water splashed out when the ice tray refilled making a mess in my freezer. The good news was that the only thing inoperative on my old ice maker was the motor and it was completely interchangeable with the new one. So to solve my problem, I used only the motor from the new unit and was able to reuse everything else from my old ice maker.

I bought this for our Kenmore Elite. It took me all of 15 minutes to install...it began working immediately! This is a simple DIY job even for a novice. We don't have to buy bagged ice anymore!

This product is a drop in replacement for the ice maker that failed in my Kitchen Aid refrigerator, although it is a very very low quality replacement, and I question how long it will last. Besides the very flimsy construction, ice keeps jamming while being ejected. After only a week of operation, ice has jammed between the ejector fingers and the frame of the ice maker 3 times. One time I actually needed to use a hair dryer to melt the stuck piece of ice for fear of breaking the unit! I believe that this unit will need constant babysitting until the motor finally burns out from being jammed so frequently. I highly recommend opting for either an OEM replacement, or at least a bit more expensive knock-off.

10/4/12 Update This unit died a couple days ago, after just over 1 year of use. It continued to jam at least weekly, and was a constant nuisance, so I'm almost happy it finally died...

I did not receive a mounting bracket, screws or instructions. Luckily, the screws and mounting bracket from my old unit fit flawlessly on the new one and it only took a little fiddling around to figure out how to remove/replace it. The unit is making ice, and I have no complaints there. So I guess the moral of the story is don't bother to pay extra for an exact fit all of these units seem to be widely used with a variety of mounting hardware.
