Very easy to install
March 14, 2021

Hardest part of this install was moving the fridge out to access the pump at the back. Two self tapping screws hold it in, undo the water inlet first. Do I have to remind you to disconnect the power and turn off the water first? No I didn't think so. This pump has push fit water connections, fridge side, not the screw in type. Just cut the ends off the existing pipe. Removing the cardboard cover at the back of the fridge gives more room to work and a chance to vacuum out the huge dust bunnies that are not normally touched. Once reconnected, reconnect the water, put on the back cover, and fire it up.

Works, Easy to Install, Different from OE
December 22, 2020

It works fine, and was easy to install. It probably took around 10 minutes. However, the two electrical terminals are facing the opposite direction from the Original Equipment. I had to really stretch them to make them fit, and the wires are now under tension. Perhaps the terminal orientation change was necessary to make it fit multiple models. Maybe it's possible to change the orientation of the terminals on this, but there were no instructions, and I didn't want to risk messing it up. At any rate, it now works like new. I'm glad that the part was available even for my 30 year old refrigerator.

Not easy to install.

It took me 3 days to find the part through different sources. It took well over 6 hours to do a job that should have been done in at least 1 hour. Instructions were incomplete.

very satisfied with service however the part was manufactured in a mirror image of the original. It took some thinking to plumb and wire it properly.
