Whirlpool/Kenmore drop-in icemaker works great!
Finally, I have mounds of blessed ice in the tray! My old icemaker s-l-o-w-l-y died over years, delivering fewer trays until it would only cough out one every few days and then none at all.
This replacement was identical, except it doesn't come with the wire harness you just unplug from the old maker. Less than half the price of the maker from Sears, and about half of local parts stores. Great!
The only thing you need to know is there is a TINY screw on the side of the face, that can be turned SLIGHTLY in or out to adjust the fill time, if your water pressure is unusually low or high.
I love my new ice maker
This ice maker worked perfect. It was easy to install and after five years I finally have ice again. Love it.
Not sure it's an actual Whirlpool part?
If you're reading this then you're probably neck deep in trying to figure out if there's any chance this will actually fit your fridge. While I'm not sure how much help I can be with that, all I can do is share my experience. My fridge is a Kenmore 79142 built around 2000. The ice maker in it puked and I needed a new one. After searching forever I finally convinced myself that this one would fit just fine. It seems like there are only a handful of ice maker manufacturers that send their units to everyone who, in turn, put their own model numbers on them and *poof*...confusion city.
In the end this ice maker fit just fine. The ice tray is metal unlike some of the cheaper plastic generic units. The description says this is a genuine Whirlpool part but the box is certainly very generic looking with a generic model number on it. I opened the box, it looked like a quality unit and I installed it. The next day I had ice so that's a win in my book. It's been working great ever...
