This is a great ice maker, but the cord needs to be replaced with the proper plug in from the get go. I had to splice them together with tape and wire nuts because the pigtails were too big to allow the ice bucket to slide back in on my Kenmore side by side refrigerator. It all works fine now, and I managed a successful repair. It's the first time in two years I've been able to get ice from my dispenser. I love the end result! And I ordered a water valve just in case it doesn't last.
