I installed the new ice maker tonight. It is essentially the same as
the old one for my Kenmoore (Whirlpool) 106.56532400 side-by-side
refrigerator but with one redesign I hope improves performance. The
original ice maker had a problem with the fill tube freezing. The new
ice maker has a higher "wall" around the fill tube. I assume this is to
block the air from the cooling duct freezing the water as it is
dispensed into the tray--I hope I am right and that it works. One note
for do-it-yourself types, it took our freezer about 3-hours for the
first ice to drop (spec says up to 24-hours). From what I read, this is
a function of the ice maker tray being cold enough--expected status.
One last thought/recommendation: the new ice maker was dusty and you
cannot get it perfectly clean so I will dump the first bin of ice.
