Our refrigerator is 16 years old and this will be our 3rd ice maker. The 2nd replacement did not last but 3 1/2 years, when I spoke to technical the expected lifespan was around 8-10 years. Their explanation was that these ice makers are affected by power surges all of the time. Our ice maker was still working, it was making a clicking sound and had a reduction in ice making. I asked for a discount since the replacement was no where near it’s lifespan and was told, “oh no, we don’t do that”, she went on to tell me how cheap this replacement was and it could’ve been much more expensive.
