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.

Samsung RF267AERS 26 cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel

Samsung RF267AERS 26 cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel
  • Cool Select Pantry With Temperature Control
  • EZ-Open Handle On Freezer Door
  • LED Lighting
  • Dimensions (WHD): 35 3/4" X 69 3/4" X 28 7/8"

I have owned this refrigerator for over a year now. I replaced a side-by-side refrigerator I previously owned. There is so much more room to store food and see it better in this french door model. The freezer is a huge improvement. I love the way this refrigerator is laid out. It is very polished and striking looking. The water/icemaker is a must have. The water filters are a little pricey to replace so I buy them through amazon 3 at a time and get free shipping and no tax.

Buy Samsung RF267AERS 26 cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Now

I purchased my 26X series Samsung French-door refrigerator and also had the good fortune to remember to buy a Lowe's 4-year extended warranty.

Samsung products are junk, plain and simple. Once Korean-made quality products they are now made in China and are garbage. Samsung does not support their products unless you know how to create trouble for them.

Just a month after the Samsung warranty expired the icemaker reservoir did, too. That was repaired under the extended warranty the first, second, and third time. The bottom freezer gasket failed and was replaced. The freezer light switch failed and was replaced. Five days after the technician replaced the entire icemaker system the water dispenser failed. After replacing the main circuit board in back, the front control panel, lines, water switch and water reservoir with no luck the technician declared the refrigerator "unrepairable."

After the icemaker failed for the third time and the lower gasket and switch and the main CB had failed and been replaced I sent an email to Samsung Support from their website. What I got in response was that Samsung considers these types and numbers of failures within less than two years since purchase "Normal wear and tear."

Chatting online the representative apologized but refused to escalate my issues to a higher level ("Not allowed").

I contacted Lowe's Home Office and advised them of my problems and the fact of so many negative reviews in Amazon as well as the Class Action lawsuit against Samsung for selling several models of refrigerators with KNOWN defective compressors. Lowe's promised to look into the matter.

I waited a few days and then did another online chat. This time my claim was routed up the chain and I was assured I would get a call "within 2-3 business days." On the fourth business day I went back on the Chat Line and I got a call several hours later.

Suddenly, Samsung was "very concerned" and was willing to issue me a rebate for the depreciated value of the unit. All I had to do was send them a copy of the original sales receipt and invoices for the repairs. I did that and was told it would be 17-21 business days for my refund.

About a week later I got a call from a TV repair shop asking to set up an appointment to "inspect a Samsung unit." I told him I did not have a Samsung TV and he said he would cancel the call. I found out later that Samsung has no appliance service techs in my area and they then cancelled my claim.

Got that straightened out with the promise of another call to Lowe's Home Office and now I am SUPPOSED to be getting my depreciated rebate soon. The Lowe's Extended Warranty folks confirmed the "unrepairable" status with the technician and they are issuing me a Lowe's gift card for the full purchase price plus tax.

...and the icemaker gave up the ghost for the FIFTH time last night. Rather than try to sell it or give it away I am going to have Lowe's take it away and junk it.

Again, DO NOT BUY A SAMSUNG PRODUCT OF ANY KIND.

Don't buy it. It has ruined my floors. The coils are now freezing. There is a class action lawsuit out on this fridge for the frozen coil defect. Not happy.

An update for you regarding my floors. Samsung contacted me and offered to pay for an assessment of the fridge (not repair). The man came out and said it was a nipple in the drain tube that freezes. They now have an "upgrade" which is longer than the original. The engineers messed up the first time. They said the part and repair is my responsibility at $250. I got a repair bid on the floor for $3500. I submitted this to Samsung at their request early April. Since then it has gone through many "layers" of their bureaucracy including "the president." Now it is in the hands of their insurance company which could take up to 14 business days to process. We're now 2 weeks past that and Samsung says they have no control over the insurance company and when they might call. We have a $3500 repair on our hands unless this company decides to do the right thing. Very disappointing to say the least.

We've had this fridge for 2years. The control console was replaced in the first 3 months (warranty covered). Ice maker went right after he 12 month warranty expired and now it is freezing up inside due to poor design on twin cooling system. It is impossible to find a knowledgeable/qualified Samsung repairman. There is only one certified in the state of Marylandan hour away from us! We bought this at HHGregg based on their recommendationit's going out to our garage this weekend!!! Buy a more reputable brand that can be easily serviced. This is 'made in China' JUNK!!!

Well, buy a Samsung fridge if you need a massive pile of crap in your kitchen...

Buy a Samsung Fridge only if you don't like ice makers... Ours is about 3 years old. The Ice maker quit about 6 months ago. We contacted Samsung for repairs. They sent their factory authorized repair service, A&E Factory Service. They actually had the nerve to ask $535 dollars to fix the ice maker. Buyer Beware. Samsung = high dollar JUNK.

12/3/2012;

After being contacted by Samsung concerning my complaints with their product, I am updating my above review.

Samsung sent their repair service out to repair my ice maker. While they did pay for the parts, I was still left with the labor portion of the repair which came to about $180. It took 3 appointments for them to finally get it right which cost me quite a bit more money in lost wages.

U-Line : 1115RB-00 15 Compact Refrigerator

U-Line : 1115RB-00 15 Compact RefrigeratorWe bought this model for use in our game room bar in July 2008. Upon delivery the temperature controller failed to work properly and the unit never cooled. The controller went completely blank in just a couple of days. The retailer refused to provide us with a new unit and sent a service technician to our house. The technician found that the wiring harness to the cooling fan had either come loose or been installed incorrectly. After connecting the wiring harness the unit began to cool but we found the digital controller still wasn't working properly. The technician asked us to use it for a couple of days to see if it worked itself out. Several days later, unable to change the temperature at all, we again called the appliance retailer and demanded a new unit. They again refused, sending the technician out again. He said he thought the entire computer was fried and needed to take the unit to his shop for service. We were without the refrigerator for three weeks while all of the electronics were replaced. When it was returned it seemed to work fine. Now, almost one year to the day after it was repaired, the temperature controller has again failed and the digital readout is blank. I expected more from a $1,000 bar refrigerator from U-Line. I would not recommend this unit based on my experience with it. Check out the Marvel or Scotsman refrigerators for roughly the same price.

Electrolux EI32AR65JS IQ-Touch 18.6 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Counter Depth Refrigerator -

Electrolux EI32AR65JS IQ-Touch 18.6 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel Counter Depth Refrigerator - Energy StarCustomer service is horrible on these units stay away. We have had problem after problem getting the trim kits ordered correctly, often taking 10 or more phone calls for every one returned. And we still can't get the information we need. Should have gone a different way!!

I have had this refrigerator for less than a year and it has gone out three times, have lost so much food. Repairman put it in for replacement and I called the company to confirm it would be submitted, they assured me it would be resolved in 2 to 3 days... here I sit almost three weeks later, four phone calls, first file had accidently been closed, next they said I had not yet sent repair envoice, which had been sent a week and a half before, lo and behold they found it. Spoke with supervisor who said she would personally take care of things and call me next business day and nothing when I call she is busy on another line. Worst customer service I have ever seen. I should have gotten the sub zero, electrolux is awful.

GE Refrigerator Dispenser Auger WR17X11705 NEW

GE Refrigerator Dispenser Auger WR17X11705 NEWDEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PART & SELLER!!!

I ordered this item after I found a broken piece of plastic in with ice cubes dispensed. I did my research on the GE website to make sure this was the right part, and it was. This item is a direct replacement part for GE or Hotpoint ice-maker dispenser. Replacing it was not hard. Just keep in mind that when removing the old one, there is only a plastic nut holding the auger & blades in position, AND THIS NUT IS REVERSE THREAD! So make sure to be careful when removing it, and keep all the blades & white washers in position, so you don't forget how they go back on!!! Shipping was fast & item arrived in great condition!!!

I noticed a big piece of plastic auger had broke off and was on my cup while getting ice from my GE fridge (model: GSS25WGPA BB). I bought this item and quickly google on how to replace the auger. Luckily, there is a great video on youtube and you may search by typing WR17X11705 and click on the 1st video search you get (approx 13 min long). Just follow it through and 20-25 min later (I was taking my time), you'll have a working and clean (since I decided to clean the insides) ice machine! You won't regret getting this replacement from amazon and save money instead of going through GEappliances, as it's the product you'll get, just cheaper!!!

Kitchen Aid 20 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - KFIS20XVMS

Kitchen Aid 20 Cu. Ft. Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator - KFIS20XVMSThe worst part of the fridge which makes it destined for failure is the location of the condenser. Underneath the fridge, and below the condenser is an unnecessary piece of cardboard which holds an uncanny amount of dust.

In order to perform preventative maintenance on this fridge me and another two other individuals had to lift it up and support the unit on 2x4s first two inches up, then four inches off the ground. The cardboard was unnecessary and had to be ripped off in order to clean it. when the cardboard was removed there was dust caked up, preventing all airflow.

Such design of the condensing coil is really setting this unit up for extra strain on the compressor, waste of energy, and ultimately a costly compressor failure. They figure if you'll fork out 3 grand for a fridge, you'll probably be able to afford another one in a couple years when this one breaks.

The refrigeration aspects works well. The amount of storage is compromised by the compartments, and my wife complains about the lack of space constantly.

the ice machine is a little slow. When entertaining any more than 3 guests you will run out of ice, so I suggest freezing some for such occasions.

Has multiple cracks of the interior liner after only 3 years. Icemaker lousy. Storage and temperature cause wife to be aggravated

Worst thing is the drone idiot "service" which just repeats the same line like robots. They do not care and will not help even though it is under warranty! They act like they are programmed to find any reason to deny restoring the product to acceptable condition.

After looking at the product we selected the Kitchenaid because we thought it was a strong brand. Three months after delivery the stainless steel door began showing rust spots. I called the company and was told they could do nothing for me because it was "cosmetic" and not covered. I escalated the problem as high as I could with the same answer cosmetic, not covered. This is a bad product and Kitchenaid is a poor company. Stay away from their products!
