Ice Maker Assembly for General Electric, Hotpoint, RCA WR30X10093

Ice Maker Assembly for General Electric, Hotpoint, RCA WR30X10093
  • Includes power cords

The cable adapter for older refrigerators, make this a tricky install because the cable is too long for a clean straight forward install. They should have made the ice-maker with either cable, but they must sell more of the newer type so this simple job turned into a bit of a challenge. This review is to help save others with older units as mine, some time. I ran the cable straight up between the first mounting bracket(left) and the ice-maker body. I then screwed in the screw to the first mounting bracket(left)to hold ice-maker into place. The cable comes over the top and down to the left and under the ice-maker and plugs into the power socket. The original cable came out of the socket and moved right under the ice-maker and back behind the ice maker. This can still be done, but as others have commented, the cables will be in the way of the catch basin and the ice-maker arm. By doing it my way you'll have no issues there. The only other issue is a small one. There is a plate that hides the ice-maker plug, when its plugged into the power socket. The plate can be manipulated by bending the small dog ear out a bit, to make room for the cable, which is going to the left side of ice-maker instead of to the right. I actually plugged the cable into the power socket and then clicked it to the left a couple of times to change the cable direction, so it could go left and then up and over. Then I manipulated the cover plate and screwed it in. I screwed in the last mounting bracket screw(right)to complete install. The ice-maker when done, looks good and you won't really notice the cable off to the left unless you are looking for it. The other reviewers are spot on when they say this ice-maker is less efficient, because it is. In my case, my older ice-maker made 8 cubes per batch, this one does 7 cubes per batch. All in all a good buy, if you can handle a bit of puzzle solving! Hope this helps other DIY'ers out there with the same problem.

The ice maker was a little different than the one i took out but when i hooked it up it made ice. I dont understand why the instuctions say you have to use your old stripper when it will not fit on the new unit though. the one it came with works fine.

Ice maker works fine and half the price of going through the manufacturer. If you're somebody who has never replaced their own ice maker, don't get yourself to worked up over it it's an extremely simple job that only takes a few minutes. Don't get overzealous and have someone come out and charge you a small fortune to do ten minutes of work for you.

This ice maker works better than the one that came in my GE refridgerator. My original ice maker never froze ice completely and thus we would have a big frozen lump. This one freezes completely and we always have plenty of ice.

Our ice maker made Ice only some of the time and then finally passed. I took the old unit apart and found the broken gear but given the gear was 10 dollars plus shipping and the Ice maker around $50 I went for the full replacement. Install was a little bit of a pain due to the length of the cord but other than that it was simple.

I installed this filter on my refrigerator on 5/3/2013. I woke up this morning (5/31/2013) to a flood in my kitchen. Water was pouring out from around the filter. I did not have this problem with other filters that I've installed.

Ok now but plastic taste to water for a couple of weeks when first installed. Possibly pre-soaking filter first may help.

Summit : FFBF285SS 13.8 cu. ft. Counter-Depth Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator Stainless Steel w/o Ice

Summit : FFBF285SS 13.8 cu. ft. Counter-Depth Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator Stainless Steel w/o Ice
  • Manufactured to the Highest Quality Available.
  • Design is stylish and innovative. Satisfaction Ensured.
  • Great Gift Idea.

We bought this fridge for our new house that we outfitted with IKEA cabinets. Our new kitchen is fairly small and the size of the fridge was going to make the difference in whether we could fit our kitchen table in there or not. The footprint is much smaller and the fridge is taller than regular fridges but there is not much sacrifice in inside fridge space. We shop for groceries for our family of three 2-3 times a week. This fridge is spacious enough for that purpose. If we only shopped once a week, it probably would be a little too tight. This is a European style fridge of high quality. The finish is nice and durable. It is a simple design with a freezer at the bottom and a fridge above it without special frills like multiple zones or humidity control.

Some points

counterdepth, so does not stick out next to cabinets

fridge is at top which is great since you use that more often than the freezer

w x d x h size is 24x27x75 inches (Summit) vs 28 x 30 1/2 x 67 3/8 inches for a typical 18.1 cuft fridge (excl handles)

capacity is 13.8 cuft vs the typical 15.6-18.1 cuft full size top freezer one door fridge

door fits half gallon milk cartons but not gallon jugs

no icemaker but there is a top tray especially for ice cubes

door handle not reversible

doors close very well. Baby cannot yank open doors

Before we bought it, I got all the specs including interior and exterior dimensions and drawings on the manufacturer's website at which was very helpful in our final decison.

The only thing I do not like about this fridge is the condensation. Condensation drips down from the back wall of the fridge to a little drain which is designed for this purpose. You have to be careful not to put a plastic bag or something in the fridge that touches this wall because then you get water on the shelves. Other than this minor issue, a great fridge and would definitely buy it again.

It fits perfectly between the cabinets and does not jut out. It is tall and slim but has plenty of fridge space. Great design idea: fridge at the top and freezer at the bottom because you use the fridge more. Plus side: efficient, very quiet and integrated wine rack. And pretty

Finally an affordable counterdepth refrigerator for my small kitchen! It looks great and works great. I was worried about the amount of storage space but it is so smartly designed that I find things fit just fine and they are more easily accessible. I love the height of the refrigerator which makes most things eye level. The freezer arrangement helps keep items sorted and I was surprised by how much fits in it. The ice cube drawer accommodates popsicles nicely as well.:)

I would have gave it 5 stars if it came with an appliance (90 degree) plug.

The counter depth is really nice for a galley kitchen.

Gorgeous appliance. A+ for design. F for noise level. Too bad, I have to send it back for that reason.

Hamilton Beach 80674 Replacement Water Filter

Hamilton Beach 80674 Replacement Water FilterHamilton Beach really ruined their reputation with us. These filters are so outrageously priced and hard to find. They could save money by selling just the filters.... without the plastic reuseable filter holders.

The filters come as a 2-pack which includes the plastic holder... the cost... $8$12 !!!

The unit does not fit into the resevoir as indicated. The factory said this is the way it is supposed to fit. The problem is the filter sits about 1/2" above the area it is supposed to fit in. Therefore it does not filter in my opinion. There is a 1/2" gap with no filter. I got it to work but cutting off 2 of the legs and pushing into the seat. It then fit.

product works great and much cheaper than at hamilton beach website for obtaining replacement parts and products. the filter is hard to find in stores or elsewhere online so price is quite reaonable and you get a bonus of the filter holders in two different sizes. i use the filter to cut the bitter taste from the tap water as the water here is very alkaline.

We received this item on Feb 8th. Good price after shopping around. Only problem is that the handle is TOO short. When you put it into the water well, the handle sits about half way down the well. Had to use the old handle that came with the coffee pot. Should be able to buy just the filters themselves..

If you are living where the water is hard and full of minerals, you will want to filter your coffee water as I do with these replacement filters for the Hamilton Beach coffee maker. The hardest part has been remembering to replace the filter every couple of months.

This product (water circulation pump) was received within a few days after it was ordered. I installed the pump in my ice machine and now fresh ice is (again) made daily. Thanks!

Existing pump overheated and melted. This replacement is a snap to install. Making ice now. Did not want to spend too much on an eight year old machine. Perfect solution.

I noticed some corrosion and heavy scale on the original pump in my Kitchen Aid ice machine during a service overhaul, and brought this item as a straight replacement. The machine now produces ice at a faster rate and is much quieter now.

The pump was shipped and delivered on time.

It was the part I needed and still working well, and at a significant discount to others I found on online for the exact same product. If you have a non-working stand alone (not refrigerator based) Kitchenaid icemaker appliance that doesn't seem to pump water upward from the water trough to make ice, its a good chance this is the part you need. It turns out that this Whirlpool part is standard in many other brand icemakers. There is a plastic shield near the back of the ice bin you can quickly remove to see the part and verify if your pump looks the same.

Part is very easy to replace yourself, and will save you a small fortune compared to what you'd pay a plumber.

Kalorik 21-Bottle Wine Bar, Black/Silver

Kalorik 21-Bottle Wine Bar, Black/Silver
  • 21 Bottles, 3 bottle per shelf, Dual zones
  • Upper zone for white wine (adjustable from 44 to 54-DegreeF)
  • Lower zone for red wine (adjustable from 54 to 64-Degree F)
  • Unique state-of-the-art thermoelectric technology
  • Adjustable thermostat for ideal temperature control

I was a little hesitant to buy this fridge since it had no reviews, but I'm glad I did. The fridge looks great and so far has performed excellently. This is my third wine fridge (the other two just stopped working) and so far it has been the best. It keeps it's temperatures constant and is very quick at getting to the correct temperature. The handle was kind of a pain to install, but that's no real reason not to buy the thing. It holds 21 bottles (three to a shelf) with the ability to store a few larger bottles on the bottom shelf. Otherwise, it is a bit of a pain to house the larger bottles, but it seems that's the case with most of the products on the market (especially ones that are made to have a compact profile). The shelves pull out to access the bottles . I'm not a big white drinker so there are a few more slots in the white section then I really need. The top part does go up to 54 degrees so it's not that big of a deal to store reds up top as well. For those wondering, it has two fans and is completely silent and vibration free.

I had a similar experience as the user above. This unit does not cool.when I contacted customer service they were little to no help and told me to ship the cooler back to them... I live in CA so it cost me $120 in shipping fees. When my unit was returned to me the unit was in terrible shape. The unit was dented,scratched, and the door fell off. I called customer service and there response was to blame FedEx although the box and shipping material were in fine shape. When I put the unit back together and plugged it in to my surprise it did not cool. I can go on and on about the poor quality of this unit and the rude experience with their customer service team..... Long story short us you get what you pay for. Pass and keep looking!!!

I wanted to upgrade from a small but excellent working 6-bottle cooler by Cuisinart to one with two zones for both red and white wines. The Kaloric WCL 32964 21 appears to be of good workmanship and arrived safely in a well designed package. After assembling it I placed it in a well ventilated area and set the controls to 48 deg.for the white wine (upper section) and 63 deg for the red. Although the room temperature never has exceeded 75 deg F. the upper section has never been able to get below 56 deg. The lower section keeps switching between 62 and 63 deg, which I suppose is normal. The User's guide claims that the unit can cool to 30 deg. below room temperature. This unit has only managed 19 deg. Disappointing.

Product arrived broken/damaged and upon closer inspection I noticed the door would not fasten properly, even after closely reading the directions. The bolt was simply misaligned.

AVANTI 40 BOTTLE DIGITAL WINE COOLER WITH STAINLESS STEEL DOOR FRAME

AVANTI 40 BOTTLE DIGITAL WINE COOLER WITH STAINLESS STEEL DOOR FRAME
  • One Touch Dual Function Electronic Display for Monitoring Temperature (C/F)
  • Holds up to 40 Bottles
  • One Touch Digital Control for Red, White, or Sparkling Wine
  • Reversible Tempered Double Pane Glass Door with Stainless Steel Trim
  • Auto Defrost

Two years after buying the unit the compressor went out. I called their office in Florida and was told by a VERY rude "customer service" rep. that there is nothing they can do. She said the compressor is warranted for five years but I have to have in removed it and ship it to them for replacement. Unbelievably she could not recommend a single repair shop in Arizona that worked on Avanti's. I called several shops and they all said the Avanti's are sealed and I was looking at about a $900.00 repair (for a cooler I paid $650 for) and a minimum of six weeks until completion. I'm buying another unit however; I will never buy another Avanit!

I bought one of their wine coolers. It broke within a few months. After two months of fighting, they finally replaced it. That one broke too and is leaking freon. Now they are saying it's out of warranty and they won't cover it. Most fridges have a 2-5 years on the basic system. Avanti offers 1. Most fridges are repairable the smaller Avanti's come as a SINGLE UNIT and cannot be opened up and repaired. I would avoid these folks if at all possible -buy someone else.

After 4 months my Avanti wine cooler stopped working. All the refrigerant leaked out. I wanted to return it to the dealer, but they wanted nothing to do with any return. Avanti did send a service person to fix it under warranty, but he was not hopeful that parts would arrive anytime soon and told me to be prepared to wait for awhile. Keep your money and look at other brands.

This item is a piece of crap...broke in 2 months somehow and customer service was a horrible experience to work with. They fought me on replacing it and said it would be a couple weeks before they were able to get anyone out to me to help. DO NOT BUY!

I read a ton of reviews on wine fridges as they all seem to be mixed. Some people seem to just get a lemon and it breaks...I had this for a couple of weeks now and it works fine. Look at it unpacked before shipment is completed though as mine had a pretty dented back corner that I didn't notice till a couple days later. It was obviously bumped into, and there were no signs on the packaging that it had taken a spill, but somewhere it had. If I ever get another fridge I will most likely buy one in person and make sure it is put in my truck with now bumps or bruises.

Danby 5.3 Cu. Ft. Built-In Beverage Center
  • Color: Black
  • Size: 23.88"H x 23.75"W x 34.38"D
  • This item ships common carrier.
  • 110 beverage cans and 11 bottles of wine
  • Cycle defrost

Three Evaporators replaced in 2.5 years. Total Junk. Four months prior to the manufacturer warranty expired and it failed. Evaporator replaced. Six months later under a service contract, it failed again. One week after receiving it back, failed again. I'm convinced that the service companies are milking the service contract for low hanging fruit on this product, but aren't actually finding the real leak. Danby all but said, sorry about your luck and were no help. I don't recommend this product or any purchase of a Danby product as a result. This thing has been a total lemon. It's currently unplugged and awaiting yet another repair under the service contract. I plan to replace it with another name brand product.
