How did you determine that it was only the ice maker that needed to be replaced and not something more serious?

I could hear the ice trying to be popped out of the tray....with a lot of grinding. If you've got action (of some sort) happening up there in the form of noise, you've got power to the unit.

My best advice to you is to examine the ice maker that is in your product. Does it look exactly like the IM6? GE has used the same ice maker for many years and is adaptable for top fill and side fill-both parts will come with this replacement. YouTube has several clips showing how to access the current ice maker and the replacement with the new product. I found this informative. Good luck.

Yes it's am exact fit for that model. I have that model fridge and the bottom drawer ice maker died after about 2 years of use. It's a quick replacement, couple screws and its a perfect fit. Also is way cheaper than a repair service. Most I called charged a $75 service fee not including parts and labor for the repair. Hope this helps!!

The new ice maker should not do that, I installed one and it worked perfectly and cranked tons of ice. You do need to make sure it is plugged in properly and there is no damage to the power cable or connectors. I think I left my old cable and reconnected it to the unit and it worked fine.

Sounds like either it's not heating up and building pressure, or like there's a leak in the system. Either way, for an inexpensive machine like this, it will likely cost more to fix than to just replace.

My filter was in use and was not replaced for approximately 18 months. I would say we have moderate water and ice usage.

There are several different ice makers for kenmore refrigerators. If you use the correct replacement, it is fairly easy to replace. If you decide to buy a kit, make sure it is an installation kit and not a replacement kit

Not sure, replacement for a galaxy icemaker? Does it look like this unit? Seems that there is really only a few actual different ice makers on older units so if it looks like yours, I think you will be good.

The one I purchased was only a freezer. But I returned the first one it was dented up. The second one only worked 3 months than broke, I called and they told me how to fix by unplugging, turned knob 5 times leave sit 3or 4 hours plug back in. Actually worked, first time. within a month broke again and work not work. Said had to pack it up and ship it for repairs to them. They will not pay for local repairs. We dumped it.

Take out the filter and look at the "evaporator". It will probably be covered with ice. I believe this means the unit is low on freon. I had the same problem and have not been able to find anyone to repair it. Mine lasted two seasons.

There are 2 things you nee to inspect: 1- check the water tank inside the refrigerator, remove and clean if necessary. 2- if you remove the original filter you need to install an outer filter in the water line that go inside the ice maker and water thank. If the problem persist replace or inspect the water valve on the back of refrigerator beside the compressor assuming that this refrigerator is an (Artica) by GE. Some ref comes with 2 filters check for that to.

You should replace the whole unit. You will be looking for a while just for the handle.

I had to throw that piece of crap out after 7 months, it just died. I have had no good long term experience with portable ice makers.

I have a double door bottom freezer Samsung ,It worked well for my needs bit of a trick to remove ice maker but the numbers you need are on the old unit

I have had mine break and the unit needed a new gear box. Often, ice cream base gets caught in the gears and crystallizes. I took it to a repair shop that works on restaurant equipment and they replaced it for me. The machine has been running for 10+ years.

I usually look up the part number recommended for an appliance and then look for cross reference numbers. The ice maker you've asked about fits a lot of appliances.

I'm no plumber or appliance repairman. Only the stuff inside the freezer is included. I replaced it a couple of years ago and it is still working great.
