The original LG ice maker started making a clicking noise and stopped working. Found this one with the same PN, and it was a perfect fit. Thankfully after a Google search and YouTube video, the replacement installation was a breeze. New Ice on the way! Amazing next day delivery from Amazon was a life saver. Double check the correct PN for your ice maker, but this one was perfect.

Saved myself $250 by purchasing and installing myself. It requires removing and reapplying six screws and disconnecting and reconnecting tao wire harnesses. You can always just remove yours first to check the part number, mine was clearly on the broken one, which helps identify it. Also, I’m not too handy, i never thought a project like this would be that easy. Less than 24 hours and i have a full bucket of ice again.

Easy install and worked perfect in my Kenmore Elite Fridge/Freezer. Took a couple screws to get out and then a little work to get the new one in since the foam was new on the new ice maker but for the most part plug and play and i am very happy with my purchase.

Seems ok i mean its making ice so there's that.Very tight fit and can't figure out why as it appears to be the same as the stock unit

Was very easy to install works just like new definitely recommend

Replace my kenmore frig ice maker base on the model number and was a perfect match. Easy to replace as only few screws and done.Work great…

There’s many videos on U-toob that can explain how to do the repair. Our Kenmore Elite is a “counterdepth” model, which isn’t the most popular, so it was hard to figure out if this was the one we should get (there are two that are very similar…lots of controversy about 6-pin versus 4-pin). Turns out, this one works. This is way cheaper than hiring a repair person, or even using a home warranty.I have a lot of information below about how to super clean the fridge while you do the repair. It takes some work. I don’t have all the info about the repair itself, because there’s videos out there. Consider this info to be a supplement. I recommend the following:1) Turn off your broken Ice Maker, and just get ice from the corner store until you’re almost out of food.2) Transport all your remaining food into an ice chest (with ice from corner store) or 2nd fridge.3) Unplug the fridge and open everything up to let it air out and de-ice. Be sure to put a towel on the floor because probably excess ice (building for years) will break off, melt, and it will be too much for the small pan built in. (Normally small amounts of water drains into a pan, and it evaporates. But this will be a lot!)4) The next morning, clean the inside of the fridge really really well—great opportunity to do the thing nobody ever wants to do. (Hold off on cleaning the ice-maker part though for now.)5) Pull the fridge out. Disconnect the water line and unscrew the screws for the back panel. Take off the back panel.6) Get a shop vac and take off the dry filter to make sure it’s in wet/dry mode. Then vacuum all the plastic coils. Especially if you have pets, there will be a ton of fur and dust. Also, get as much water as possible from the drain. If you didn’t let it set overnight, use a hair drier to melt any ice build up behind the freezer drawer. A lot can build, even in a year.Optional Step) If you feel ambitious, consider replacing the electrical outlet behind the fridge with one that includes a type 3 SPD (Surge Protection Device). All kitchen appliances have computers…easy to think about surge protecting computers and TVs, but not appliances. Disclaimer: Be sure circuit breakers are off…I recommend you hire a licensed professional if you have any doubts. Saving a few bucks isn’t worth your life.7) Reattach the back panel, water line, etc., and push the fridge back.8) Follow U-toob video instructions to take out the old ice maker.9) Clean the area really well. (See notes at end about cleaning water spout.) If you have already bought the new ice maker, put it in, just make sure the fridge is unplugged and at the very least the ice maker switch is in the off position. (It will be easiest if you replace the ice maker at this point—not what I did though.)I didn’t have the new one at this point, because I used the old one to confirm I bought the right one. I hooked up the fridge and let it start cooling.Note: Without the ice maker, I got a “Err 15” displayed on the front panel and could not use water until I replaced it.If you’re like me, you will install the new ice maker later (I would recommend doing it before). I did unplug the fridge, but worked as quickly as possible to not waste all the cooled air. I saw a video where someone did not unplug the fridge, but I don’t recommend it. At the very least, be sure to have the ice maker switched off.Note: The internet videos suggest it’s very easy to “pop” in the whole ice maker/auger motor piece. I had difficulty here. You need to put your hand in the back to reattach the pin connector, and put in the top part first. But when you do, look to the top right and be sure to get the water spout (on the freezer) to straddle the clear plastic water cup (on the part you’re installing). You want to be sure to push up while pushing in. Be careful because it’s all plastic and you don’t want to break it. Once the water spout is nested properly, use that like a pivot point, and rotate the bottom into position. Honestly, mine stuck here. I was concerned I was going to break it, because it’s plastic and hard to grip. Be careful. I put it in and took it out 3 times…I still didn’t think it was right when I finished, but all the screw holes lined up (one on the bottom was pretty close)—if yours aren’t lined up at all, probably it’s wrong.10) Plug the fridge in. (Don’t replace the ice basket yet.) Turn the ice maker on. You will hear the ice maker move twice, and some gears tighten/move. Afterwards, there’s a small reset button on the left side. Push that. You will see the ice maker make almost a complete revolution. Then rotate back, and the water spout will fill it up. At least for mine, at the end of the revolution, part of the ice cube tray stops moving and another part keeps moving and it twists pretty substantially. Honestly, when I heard this, I though I broke the new ice maker when I put it in, because it sounded bad. For all I know, mine is messed up (makes perfect ice though so I think it’s fine), but I think it’s just designed to cause a twisting motion, which breaks the ice out of the tray.Then, close everything and it should work no problem.Notes:A) It will take a while before the fridge is back to temperature. Maybe 4 hours or more.The ice maker has to be below a certain temperature, or it won’t make ice. There’s actually a small white pill-looking thing attached to the ice maker…I believe it is a thermometer. (It’s supposed to get installed by lifting a piece of adhesive foam, sliding it in, and then putting the foam back. Videos didn’t show this, but I figured it out from when I took my ice maker off.) Point is, be sure your temps are low enough. We have our freezer set to 3 F, and the fridge set to 38 F.B) It did make some ice the same day, but we were using it faster than it was being made. It took a couple days, but the ice cube container did fill.Again, temperature is key here. We didn’t see much when we had the freezer at 8, and the fridge at 40. That’s when we bumped it back down. Also, sorry to say it but we keep it off “energy efficient” mode. It causes the fridge to sweat on the (inside) sides of the doors…C) You might consider buying extra tape. The special “freezer” tape is white and has cloth on one side. The closest thing I found on Amazon was black tape that was advertised as “high heat.” Basically, to wrap around wires to protect them when they’re in hot environments, like engines. It seems to be the same stuff. Even though fridges are cold, they are insulated, so I figured they might use high heat tape because, if something gets hot in the fridge, like a motor or something, the wires would be protected and not cause a fire/more problems. Just a guess though. Could be the tape also insulates and protects from cold.D) It’s possible you could get a few more years out of your ice maker, just by cleaning it well and de-icing it. Ours was acting weird a year ago. The freezer was left accidentally cracked open, and it was malfunctioning. We had to do the de-icing, and it was a good time to clean it. I had pulled the fridge out and vacuumed it a couple times in 5 years, but I had no idea how much accumulated inside it (behind the access panel on the bottom). When we went through all the cleaning, the ice maker worked pretty well again for a while. We tried that this time, but after a few days, it was clear it was shot. That’s when we ordered the new one and put it in.E) You can get a good view of the water spout inside the freezer when you take everything out. Mine had mineral deposits. I got a toothbrush, heated up some vinegar in a coffee cup, and brushed it really well. I felt like it made a difference.

BEWARE: There are two versions of this part for this similar model fridge, the plugs are different on each, so make sure you have the right part number.I've had this in my wish list for a while and kept putting off the purchase. I guess that was a good thing because the price came down and Amazon (as usual) was absolutely the lowest price I could find on this part.First, I should say at the time I bought it, the part number in the listing title, and the photos were correct, but the bullet points were talking about some other part/number. I decided to take a shot on it that someone just made a mistake in the listing details, and knowing being Amazon I could easily return it. But I got the right part for the listing title. I reported that so they can fix it. Just wanted to not that in case they haven't fixed it when you are looking at it.The part itself: I'm certain this is a genuine LG part. I inspected it and compared it extensively to the one I took out, and if it's not genuine they did one heck of a job copying it. I'm happy with it, it fits, it works and I have ice again! I guess we'll see how it does over time. Very hard water where I live (I thought the water for the ice maker runs through the filter but maybe not? mine had buildup in the tray), and the other one lasted quite a few years. If I get as long out of this one I'll be happy.Don't be intimidated on replacing this yourself. It's pretty easy if you are handy with a phillips head screwdriver. Literally the only tool you need. You don't even have to unplug the fridge to replace it. There are videos on YouTube you can watch exactly how to take it apart but there is really nothing to it. A few screws, a plug, take your time, don't force anything, and it's out!If you're wondering if your old one needs replacing, mine got to where when it cycled to twist and flex the ice tray to dislodge the ice, it would get stuck and make a loud popping sound for quite some time before it gave up, and the ice never let go. Found a heck of a lot of mineral buildup in the trays that I couldn't get out even with CLR.
