Nostalgia Electrics KRS2100 Kegorator Beer Keg Fridge, Black

• Full-size single-tap refrigerated beer dispenser
• Accommodates 1 full- or pony-size keg or 2 5-gallon kegs
• Keeps beer carbonated for weeks; chrome guardrail; 4 durable casters
• Empty CO2 bottle included
• Measures 20-2/7 by 26 by 32 inches; 90-day limited warranty

For starters, stop reading reviews prior to 2011. The early issues with this kegerator have been addressed to the point Nostalgia really should assign it a new model number. As reported by others the regulator is now a pretty nice dual gauge unit, with a lockable output valve. Meaning once you get your CO2 settings dialed in you can lock the knob so it doesn't get changed accidentally while changing out a keg, etc. Also, the unit is dead quiet.

The instructions have been completely revamped and are very easy to follow. All the spare parts provided have been labeled in the manual, no mysteries there either. Before this arrived I downloaded a PDF copy of the old instructions, and it's true the early buyers were basically left in the dark.

I followed the instructions, charged my tank, threw in a 1/4 barrel, and no problems at all. The beer has a perfect head on it, and my monitoring of temps have been hovering around 34-35f. That's with the thermostat set to maximum, so I'll be watching that closely. I don't want my beer to freeze!

A few things to note:

1) The keg tower rubber washer (#5) was not already installed, and is not really mentioned in the manual. Be sure to install it otherwise there's not a tight seal between the tower and fridge and cool air will escape. You'll know if it's not on because the tower installs too easy and doesn't feel tight. The nice side effect of this design is that the tower is basically cooled, so less stale beer in the line.

2) A 5 pound CO2 tank will fit with a full 1/2 barrel, and can be bought at a local gas supply or welding shop filled for about 50 bucks. Refills on the tank are around $9. The 2.5 pound tank shipped is fine, and I'll be filling it so I have a full tank at all times. The 2.5 pound tank should be able to dispense 2-4 1/2 barrel kegs, the 5 pound tank 4-8 1/2 barrel kegs. Tighter fittings, lower CO2 settings, more kegs...

3) The casters are optional, and there are already self leveling feet installed if (like me) you prefer the unit to be shorter and stationary. Height to the top of the fridge door is exactly 31 inches without the caster installed.

Anyway, given all the features and the insane price of $380 shipped I can't see how anyone could be unhappy at this point. All the negative reviews made me really ponder this purchase, but I'm happy to report they're all talking about a different product. I'll post a follow up at 12 months, or before if I experience any problems.

And thanks to the early buyers who posted reviews! Nostalgia listened and thanks to you I have a really nice unit.

NOTE: I've updated this post in March of 2013, after a year of ownership. My basic feelings of the kegerator are still the same--but I just wanted to update some of the information provided in this review. In summary, I did end up replacing the regulator with a higher-quality one.

----------------

This is an excellent kegerator. We purchased it as a Christmas gift for my dad, and we are currently on our second half-barrel of lager! I was a bit skeptical of this based on previous reviews, but as many reviews state, Nostalgia had changed some parts and old issues are no longer present with this model.

LOOKS

We all think it's a good looking unit. Nostalgia offers the same unit but with a stainless steel door. I decided against the stainless steel model because we currently have stainless steel appliances and they show smudges and fingerprints easily. We keep the kegerator in our garage so the black is more appropriate. This unit also features a rounded front door, so the keg partially hangs out when the door is open. Most other kegerators have a flat door, which makes the whole unit looks larger. It is also not the highest quality appliance you will find, as the internals of this unit seem to be a bit plasticky, especially next to a nice, expensive refrigerator. But if you temper your expectations, you will be very happy with it.

ASSEMBLY

The instructions are a bit frustrating. Each section doesn't seem to be in proper order. Also, there are plenty of extra little parts that come with it. I still don't know where they all go, but it's good to have them I guess. My best advice to get it up and running as soon as possible:

* first have a keg ready to go (call a local beer store, and have them order and hold a keg of your favorite beer until you're ready for it--it may take a few days for them to get the keg if it is not in stock).

* Unbox the unit and put the casters on (not too tightly or they will be difficult to spin).

* Plug it in and turn the thermostat to the coldest setting.

* Get your Co2 tank filled up. I took mine to a paintball place, but you can also try a welding or outdoor sport shop. If you're still stuck, call a hardware store for some suggestions. Also, the beer store you're getting your keg from may swap Co2 tanks.

Take your time with assembly and read the instructions carefully. It may be a bit frustrating at times with all the different sized washers and parts, but keep at it and you will work through it just fine. At first, I used nylon tape on the fittings, but later found that there is no point to this, as the various washers in place are there to stop leaks, rendering the nylon tape unnecessary--but there is no harm in doing so. I had a tough time getting the tower on with the rubber washer (the instructions didn't say to put it on but it is in the parts bag, and the tower doesn't fit right without it). I recommend putting some dish soap on both sides of the washer, put it in place, stand on the left side (when you're facing the unit) and hold the unit in place with your knee while you push down hard and turn the tower clockwise until it locks. It may take a few tries and some effort but it eventually fits snug and will help keep cold air in.

REGULATOR

Past complaints have been about the regulator. The old regulator was a single gauge--this newer one is a dual gauge. After a few months of usage, I decided to replace the regulator due to it allowing the keg to become over-pressurized despite my low-psi setting. The Co2 pressure SHOULD remain constant throughout the life of your Co2--if you are constantly fighting the pressure, get rid of the regulator and buy a new one. Over-pressurizing your keg will waste Co2 and end up costing you more money and frustration anyway. After some research, regulators from Micromatic seem to be held in high regard, so I went ahead and purchased one from their website (dual-guage, premium, part #642). If you do purchase a new regulator, remember to get a new gas line and barbed tip so you can connect it to the keg coupler--Micromatic sells all of this. I've had zero issues since changing the regulator. Also, the regulator I purchased was a bit larger than the stock one, so it may be a tight fit depending on your keg and Co2 tank sizes.

Remember that when you have a new keg, the keg is already pressurized somewhat, so you will need very little Co2 pressure through the first few pours until the keg pressure is relieved, or alternatively relieve the pressure using the pressure relief valve on the tap. After that, you will have slower pours, which is your cue to turn up the pressure. Don't turn it up too high or else you will get foamy pours. There is a relief valve on the regulator to reset the pressure which is helpful during adjusting. There is another relief valve on the keg tap as well, which can also help troublesome pours. This kegerator comes with a 5lb Co2 tank, but it was quickly swapped out for a larger tank. It may be a good idea down the road to get a 10lb tank and keep the included smaller tank as a spare.

Another note: always remember to use a nylon washer between your Co2 tank and the regulator. Failing to use a nylon washer will result in a leak. If you swap your tank at a beer store, they will likely give you a washer. The Micromatic regulator I've described above has a permanent washer in place.

THERMOSTAT

Some reviewers wrote about modifying the thermostat by removing the cover on the thermostat and adjusting the little screw. I would recommend taking a wait and see approach to determine whether you need to do this--you don't want to adjust it too much and unnecessarily freeze up your beer (most beer freezes around 28-29 degrees). I ended up waiting 24 hours before I gave the adjustment screw a clockwise turn, waited a few hours, then checked again (my keg was hovering around 40 degrees, I was shooting for about 36). After the adjustment, the temp has been steady around 36.

THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT

Here is how to get to the adjustment screw: first, unplug the unit, then on the back of the unit, turn the temperature dial to the max setting, then pull the knob off. Now, remove the two screws that hold the thermostat housing to the side of the kegerator. Then remove the two screws to take the thermostat off of the housing. Then on the thermostat, there is a small phillips screw above the temperature adjustment dial. Turn it once clockwise to go colder, counter-clockwise to go warmer (just one turn was all I needed). Put everything back together, plug the unit back in, then wait a couple of hours before you check the temperature and make another adjustment as necessary.

After a year of ownership, the kegerator has remained cool and reliable.

CLEANING

An important topic that I did not previously cover in my original review. Make sure you buy a nice kegerator cleaning kit (I recommend this one: Beer Line Cleaning Kit). You will want to keep the beer lines clean, otherwise, bacteria from the beer line can creep back into the beer, causing the beer to go bad. I recommend cleaning the lines after every keg change--it's a simple process of disconnecting the lines and running a cleaning solution through the lines, as well as disconnecting the tap and cleaning some of the little parts. There are also little parts for attaching to the tap to cover the tap opening when not in use for extended periods of time--they can be easily found on Amazon.

I have not had any shipping/packaging issues that other reviewers spoke of. I also have not had any reason to contact Nostalgia customer support.

NOTES: Some issues people commonly have, especially when they are new to kegs, are that the beer either comes out too slow (which basically means you're out of Co2 or don't have enough pressure), or the beer comes out too fast (meaning too much Co2 is in the keg), resulting in a foamy mess. Firstly, your regulator has two gauges--one, (the left side) gauge, shows the pressure coming from your Co2 tank, and the other (the top gauge), shows the pressure you are delivering to the keg. Typically, the left-side Co2 tank gauge reads anywhere from 500 to 1000 bar psi (which will vary on the tank temperature), and it is perfectly normal for the tank to read in this range when it has enough Co2. When your tank begins to run out, it will quickly hit zero. And when you're setting up a new keg, the pressure may fluctuate a bit as the system normalizes, so while the correct pressure may be set once you first hook up a fresh keg, checking back an hour or two later, you may notice it needs readjusting. This is normal.

Now, in the event that you over-pressurize your keg, it means you have way too much Co2 in there, and as a result, your beer will come out very fast and very foamy. Some reviewers blame this on the kegerator, but really it is their own fault. The simple solution is this: close the valve on your Co2 tank as well as close the switch on your regulator. Then, find the relief pin on your keg tap (you have two relief pins--one on the regulator, one on the keg tap). Pull this pin hard (helpful if you use a pair of pliers) and it will slowly release the pressure in your keg. It may take a minute or two, but the pressure will slowly die down. When the pressure is relieved, start pouring beer until the pour is too slow (it may even take a few pitchers more of foamy beer, but it will get there--be patient). Finally, when the pour is too slow, open your Co2 tank valve, then turn on the regulator switch to the open position as well, and finally slowly adjust your Co2 on the regulator until you get a nice pour. It may take a while and readjusting in an hour or two, but be patient!

Finally, when your keg is kicked, close off the valve on your Co2 tank as well as the switch on the regulator to avoid losing any Co2.

Overall, I think you will be very happy with this unit. It's one of the cheapest ones you'll find on the internet, so as long as you take your time setting it up and do your research on this unit to find out its quirks, you will be happily pouring fresh, draft beer in no time!

Cheers!

I was a little hesitant buying this kegerator because of some of the bad reviews it received from this site and others. However, I trusted Amazon to take the return if it came in broken or did not perform. I've had this item for about 2 weeks now and I have to say it works beautifully. If you are concerned about the following items don't be:

Thermostat does not keep the beer cold enough false, I've had to turn down the fridge because it was TOO cold. Did not modify it at all.

Regulator only has one gauge false, this kegerator came with a dual gauge regulator.

Slow shipment false, ordered with prime, shipped 3 hours after I ordered it, packaged very well.

CO2 tank held by cheap band false, CO2 tank is held by a plastic mesh and fits very nicely in the back.

Overall this has surpassed by expectations for a kegerator under $400

I ordered this item on September 14th. Didn't get delivered until October 4th. Way out of the time range that was initially given. Product information made it appear that all you would need to do is supply the Keg and get the CO2 tank filled. WAY OFF. The "regulator" that comes with the Kegerator doesn't regulate ANYTHING its simply an off on switch for the CO2. After spending 2 days wasting beer I took it to my local tavern and confirmed what I already thought. So I had to drive to my local Beer Supply store and spend an additional $50 for an actual regulator. Then I experienced the problem that any regulator you buy doesn't connect to the supplied air hose as it should. Next stop Ace hardware where i purchased new tubing and fittings (another $10 down the drain). Upon affixing my new regulator and air hoses I realized that the beer comes out WAY too fast causing an excessive amount of foam. Last trip to Ace Hardware and got a water flow restricter for another $3 and now at long last i finally have a fully operational kegerator. Cheers and have fun.

So I was skeptical to order this kegerator, but after reading some of the more recent reviews I decided to take the plunge. Unit arrived in 3 business days, and didn't take too long for me to put together.

I ordered a 1/2 keg, and went to my local welding supply to get the CO2 tank filled.

When I put this kegerator to the test I was initially disappointed that it seemed to be hovering in the 46-48 degree range. I tried to pour a beer, but it just had too much foam.

After reading some recommendations on some forums, I took the faceplate off the thermostat, and then found the calibration screw. I gave it a few turns clockwise, and waited an hour. When I came back the temperature was now 42 degrees. With another couple turns of the adjustment screw the unit was staying in the 36-38 degree range no problem.

After attaining the proper temperature, the beer poured PERFECTLY at ~9.5 psi. Very excited I was able to get it working, and now I can relax and enjoy fresh draft microbrews at home :-D

P.s. As other reviewers have stated there is a rubber ring that goes under the tap tower, but it does not tell you to install it in the instructions. The tower isn't very sturdy unless you put the rubber ring under it. Once I put it under, and twisted the tap tower to lock it in, it was sturdy and solid.

4.5 X 20 Whole House Water Filter - Transparent with Cartridge and Mounting Bracket PWFHT4520BT - 1

I knocked off a star due to the misinformation. The inlet and outlet are 1". I suppose that it is true that I could attach adapters to make it 3/4" or 1.5", but I could attach adapters that would make it 8" as well. The listing makes you think that it has a 1.5" inlet & outlet and then you can dial it down. That's a significant detail, due to the amount of flow that you might want and the circumstances of your use.

I'm planning on using it as a mechanical aquarium filter with a 0.35 micron pleated and cleanable cartridge.

Having struggled with rusty well water for almost 20 years, we finally did the filter thing at the suggestion of my son. What a difference this has made! I no longer have that rusty color in my plumbing fixtures, I actually feel like cleaning again and I don't have to use the heavy chemicals anymore. Love the large size, we have a large family and so far the filter has been doing its job. One month into this and still no rusty water!

Whirlpool 4396841 PUR Push Button Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter

We purchased a new Whirlpool refrigerator earlier this year. The new refrigerator has all the marvelous improvements developed in the last ten years for refrigerators, including a water filter.

The water filter really does deliver better water. However, the water filter seems quite expensive to me. Whirlpool, and other manufacturer's that use this type of filter, recommend the filter be replaced twice a year, whether you need to replace the filter or not.

The filter is relatively easy to replace, but be aware of what happens when you pull the filter. To remove the old filter you push a button next to the filter, typically to the left of the filter. Then pull on the cap covering the filter and pull the filter out. Make a note of how the filter was oriented when you pull it out.

The filter will now begin dripping water, so have a paper towel or small bowl available to let the water drip into. You can either let the filter finish dripping into a sink, or throw it into a plastic bag that you can seal to keep the water from dripping out of the bag. Be sure you remove the cover from the filter before you toss it. On our Whirlpool the cover twists counterclockwise for removal.

Install the filter cover onto the new filter. It takes just a twist to lock it into place. Holding the filter so that the two straight pieces on the end of the filter are vertical, with the open portion of the filter cover oriented on the bottom, slide the new filter straight into the filter cavity until the button on the left clicks to let you know the new filter is locked into place. Note that these instructions are for a Whirlpool, but I believe most other refrigerators are similar. You should be ready to go!

Had I known refrigerator water filters were so expensive I might have gone with a refrigerator without one, though our local water has a lot of chlorine in it (which is filtered out by the filter).

As with many modern conveniences, this water filter represents a convenience that you did not know you needed until you had it. Now that I have it, I am wondering whether I want it since I have to spend a chunk of change each year in filter replacements. Oh well. I guess I can sleep more soundly knowing that the water filter is now removing a bunch of stuff from my water that my body either did not want or need.

Good luck!

Overall we have found this to be a great water filter. But we have had our water tested by a professional, both at the tap, and at the filtered tap on the refrigerator. Both waters tested the same for chlorine content, however, the particle contaminants were greatly reduced by the filter on the refrigerator.

Something to note on your water filter.

The light is merely a timed indicator of when they want you to replace the filter. Think of it as a "countdown timer" that starts as soon as you reset it. It is in no way measuring the amount of water you are consuming... Personally, I used to change out the filter every 6 months when the indicator light came on, but we rarely use the water/ice now, so I haven't changed it (or reset it) in over a year although I probably will soon. I actually cut the first one in half to see how "contaminated" the filter was and to my surprise, it looked like a brand new filter...

The life of a filter depends on a couple of things.

1. The amount of contaminants in your water (well water is typically the worst)

2. The amount of water that passes through the filter

If you have low contaminants and/or use very little filtered water, your filter will last much longer than 6 months. If you pay attention to the amount of water flow and the size of your ice cubes, you can more accurately determine the proper time to replace the filter.

I have county water and we also have installed a "whole house" water filtration system, so I can probably get closer to 2 years out of a filter. Obviously, not everyone has these installed though, just use common sense on when to replace your filter and you'll be fine.

P.S. Why is it more expensive per unit to buy the 3-pack than it is to buy the 2-pack? Am I the only one that found this odd?

Buy Whirlpool 4396841 PUR Push Button Side-by-Side Refrigerator Water Filter Now

Since I had had previous experience with Pur water filters, we purchased a side-by-side water and ice dispenser Whirlpool fridge over a year ago that uses these filters and they have made a huge difference in the quality of our water. We live in Riverview, FL, a suburb of Tampa, and the water here is so foul that I sometimes wonder if I have an odor from it after I shower. Since it smelled that bad coming from the tap I knew I was not going to drink it, cook with it, nor give it to my cats. So, to save us the expense of buying bottled water, we bought the fridge. Yes, the filters are expensive, but they are Pur water filters which, in my opinion, are better than Brita. I would rather have the expense than get sick drinking nasty water. Since I use the filtered water for just about everything, I have to replace my filter more frequently, but it is well worth the cost.

To save a few bucks, I order my filter online and three at a time; this usually saves me $3-5.00 per filter. Just search for the item number of the filter and you will find several places that sell it either as a single, a three-pack, a four-pack or a six-pack. Obviously, the more you buy, the more you save.

I paid almost as much for this as I would have had to pay in the store, and it has never worked since the day I installed it. I kept thinking that maybe it needed to be in awhile and the bad taste would go away, but it has not. Once in awhile it tastes better for a glass or two, but most of the water and ice are terrible. I had a filter in that came with the refrigerator for two years and never had any bad ice or water, and ever since I changed to this one it has all been bad, so there must be something wrong with the filter. It is supposed to be the exact filter that came with my fridge when it was new according to the website, but it does not work the same. I am not entirely sure if it is even new, perhaps they are recycled or maybe it was just defective, but it is too difficult to try to fix it through the internet and the mail, so now I will be forced to go to the local store and buy another after just paying for a new one. If I were you, I would just get your replacements at a local store, if it doesn't work right, at least you can take it back easily and exchange it. I will not order one this way again, I will use a hardware store or department or appliance store.

This filter lasted about 7 months for our family of four. It provides crystal clear and very good tasting drinking water. It's very quick and easy to replace and it can be done in about 30 seconds. The only down side is the cost is a little on the high side and this filter only removes 4 different contaminants. I pay a few more dollars now and get the PUR 4396710 that removes 12 different contaminants including harmful substances like lead, mercury, asbestos. If you want good tasting water then this filter will do the trick. If you want good tasting and healthy water then get the PUR 4396710.

Electrolux E23CS78HP 36" Counter-Depth Refrigerator with PureAdvantage Filtration Systems and Theat

In 2009 I remodeled my kitchen. I purchased all Electrolux appliances (full sized refrigerator, beverage refrigerator, dishwasher, dual fuel range and microwave). Thankfully I purchased a 5 year warranty for all appliances but the beverage refrigerator. Two and 1/2 years later... I have had to have my water/ice dispenser repaired, my dishwasher motor replaced, the control panel on the range fixed and now the control panel on the beverage refrigerator is not working.

I purchased Electrolux appliances b/c I was hoping to have reliable appliances for the next decade or so. I purchased the warranty b/c I thought occasionally there can be a problem with an appliance and I did't want to have to worry about it. I did not expect that all the appliances would be broken in some way or other in less than 3 years. I have taken mulitple days off from work in order for the repairs to be made. I have not even called to schedule a repair for the beverage refrigerator because I am too upset with Electrolux as it is to pay $500 for the repair.

I would not recommend Electrolux appliances and I would not purchase these appliances again. Very disappointing! The set looks so nice, I was so excited to have a special kitchen but now I wish I had bought something less expensive/less flashy but more reliable.

Sunpentown WC-12 ThermoElectric 12-Bottle Wine CoolerSunpentown ThermoElectric

• Freestanding wine cooler properly chills up to 12 bottles of wine
• Thermoelectric compressor-less technology for quiet operation and no vibration
• Digital controls with LED display; adjustable temperature from 50 to 66 degrees F
• 3 removable shelves; interior light; front leveling leg; double-pane insulated glass door
• Measures 21 by 14 by 19 inches; 1-year limited warranty

This is a piece of junk. It can barely keep wine cool in the winter with the heat off. The fan runs all the time no matter what. Furthermore, when the room temperature is a tad bit above 70 degrees, the light starts flashing along with a constant beeping. The only way to stop this, is to unplug it.

The manufacturer offers no suggestion other than saying it's probably the pc. In my mind "pc" is personal computer, not microprocessor which is probably what is controlling the light flashing and beeping. The manufacturer offers no method of getting a unit which is properly working, even though they shipped the original flashing and beeping unit. They consider it yours because you, well, opened their box. This is the kind of treatment that gives a bad name to internet shopping.

I loved the size and how they could actually fit 8 real bottles, including burgundy style bottles. The size is perfect for my application. I plugged them in and after about 2 hours, they were at 55F. I loaded one with 8 Italian-style bottles (long and skinny) and they fit very well! The other two I took out the bottom rack and put a magnum in sideways WITH 7 other bottles! The temp shot up to 65 on all of them (ambient temp + warm wine bottles), but they slowly fell to 55 over a few hours, which is better for wine. I hope these last a long time, since they are great for my application. I will come back in 6 months and do a follow-up. As of right now, they are working like champs!

GE Part Number WR60X10046 MOTOR AC/DC EVAP FAN

• REPAIR PART NUMBER WR60X10046
• REPAIR PART FOR GE, AMANA, HOTPOINT, KENMORE AND MORE
• PART MEETS ALL OEM QUALITY STANDARDS MANUFACTURED BY A THIRD PARTY

Our Fridge was making a squeaky noise up in the freezer area whenever it fired up for the cooling. I looked on the back of the fridge and noticed a cheat sheet for repair persons that had a drawing and replacement parts numbers. I realized it had to be the evaporator fan failing. I "googled" something like "replace evaporator fan fridge" and found a video on Youtube of someone doing a typical replacement. After realizing how easy it was and I wasn't going to die doing it I searched for the part # on Amazon and found it. This isn't the exact model number but it seems it is the more up to date model. The seller didn't offer expedited shipping but it came in three days! Our fridge is a basic Hotpoint model and its been working great now for several weeks after about 5 minutes of actual work. Side bonus?good excuse to clean out the freezer (you'll be amazed what you find).

So my fridge got louder and louder, and recently had lost some cooling in the freezer. Apparently the original motor, which blows on the freezer and is called evaporator fan motor, was loose at the axle, so the fan got caught on its housing.

Well it's really model WR60X10141, as it appears on this and the original GE motor. Only the documentation refers to WR60X10046, but either way I wasn't able to find a GE-made replacement. This is working as expected so far. Will update if it stops.

Our GE fridge has been noisier than normal since the beginning but got increasingly worse. We googled the problem and found a simple video on how to replace this part. It worked. We received the part in 2 days and now have a quiet fridge for the first time in 2 years.

Water Sentinel WSL-1 Replacement Filter, 3 Pack

1. I am wondering that the o-ring grease is a good idea and hoping it is food grade? Sooner or later the grease will come into the water.

2. This filter has no locking position design. This filter will stay in place, however, there is no locking position as the original filter, so don't bump into this filter.

First round when we ordered it was a try out. It's been perfect and that's why we purchased it for a second round. It works great, does the job and it's way cheaper than the brand name. having done some marketing courses people, just because it's a different brand name, doesn't mean it's less good. It could be as good or even better. In this case it's wonderful! and I will never ever go back to original brand to purchase filters. Also, the company ships real fast and arrives in perfect condition

SAMSUNG DA97-02203G ASSEMBLY ICE MAKER-MECH OEM Original Part

I ordered this part to replace the ice-maker in my Samsung RS2530BBP refrigerator. The original ice-maker wouldn't drop the ice after freezing. It appeared to have a bad thermistor in the tray which wouldn't detect that the ice had frozen. The thermistor is apparently not available for purchase as a separate part. The new assembly shipped quickly, but I discovered the plastic housing assembly was wrong. The mounting points on the new part were "stepped" one one side where my original housing was flat. I was able to take the "guts" out of the new part and re-use my original plastic housing. Everything worked, but switching out the housing shouldn't have been necessary (hence the 4-star rating).
