Reviews
Condition of ice cube tray is critical
The ice-maker unit is kept in place with one screw near the on/off switch. Two slip-on anchors in the top of the freezer compartment secure the unit. The old unit failed due to crud in the ice tray which prevented ice cubes from releasing properly. There is a test switch on the bottom-facing surface at the right side of the ice-maker. The test switch is useful to assess the how well the unit is working, especially as relates to releasing the ice cubes. Cleaning the tray with vinegar and treating it with vegetable oil helped a lot, but for long-term reliability it seemed best to get a new unit. The part number endind in "G" has a 1x10 pin connector; the part ending in "H" has a 2x5 pin connector. When I got the wrong part, Sears was very helpful in exchanging the part for the correct one.

Easy to replace, but you have to do that often.
The installation was quite easy, just plug it in and go. However, nothing told me the handy test button was on the bottom. Thankfully one of the YouTube videos did, I pushed it, and we were good to go! This is my 4th or 5th icemaker in this freezer. I've never gone through so many so fast. The ice cube tray gets warped quickly, within two to three years, and it drips the water, and my freezer is a mess with frozen water overflow. Definitely not a long term icemaker. The saving grace is that, admittedly it IS easy to replace.

Ice maker replacement
It was easy and hopefully this one will last longer. We got 5 years out of it.

Solved the problem
The new icemaker solved the overflow issue. No longer is water running over everything and freezing. I was surprised that there was not a single paper in the box with any instructions. It was tricky to get the connector to unplug though. So far, works great.

Easy to install
Very easy to install. Used an electric screw driver to remove old and replace new ice maker. It took less than 20 mins to install.

Worth it
Easy install, fixed water over flow issue that I'd been tryptophan figure out for two years. Came in a large box with no packing but no damage. Not sure why overflow issue wasn't a recall but $220 is way less than $3k for a new one

Simple to install!
I was simple to install and took less than 15 minutes, But after turning the swith on, the ice tray filled , froze and after a week is still sitting in the ice tray. The ice maker works but the machine doesn't work. I still have to make ice cubes manually and place them in the hopper. This is an inconvenience after buying a brand new icemaker! The ice maker didn't seem to need installation instructions but they should have at least put some troubleshooting notes in there with it!

Very simple to install
There is only one screw on top to remove from old ice maker. Then slide it out and unplug electrical connector.
