Additional Information
The Ice Maker Assembly (4317943) is an all-in-one kit that replaces the ice maker unit in many refrigerators. It is designed to fit a range of models, making it a versatile part for maintenance and repair needs. Please note, the ice maker doesn't include the shut-off arm. Transfer the arm from your original ice maker, or order the arm listed for your model.
The ice maker hooks up to the water supply line and fills an ice tray with water, which is then frozen into ice cubes. Once the ice is frozen, the cubes are ejected into a storage bin, and the process repeats. Common issues this part resolves include an ice maker that no longer produces ice, produces very little ice, or has started to leak water. If your ice cubes seems small, it could be time for a new water filter. You can find your filter here.
When installing, ensure that the refrigerator is unplugged and the water supply is turned off. It is recommended to consult the refrigerator's manual and follow the specific instructions for the ice maker replacement. Always ensure that the new ice maker is properly aligned and securely connected to the water supply line for optimal performance.

Self Icemaker Install
Ice maker came with assortment of wiring harnesses for multiple style hookups and easy to understand directions. Replacement was easy and fast, only tool needed was a 1/4 in. socket. Saved the cost of an unneeded service call and ice maker is working great!

missing shut off arm
The unit works fine and was easy to install. I was very disappointed when it arrived to that it did not come with a shut off arm. Even though it's not shown in the picture, it never occurred to me that it wouldn't come with one. (It's not explicitly mentioned that it does NOT come with one in the description either). Apparently the shut off arm will cost me an additional $32 plus tax and $10 shipping :/

Started making ice within a few hours.
Installation was not complicated. I used the plug that is hard wired to the fridge. You have to re-use the metal arm lever from the old ice maker. It took less than 20 minutes.
