Easy installation
March 31, 2021|Stuart, COCOA BEACH FL

No tools necessary; very easy to install (under 5 minutes). Turn off ice maker via little switch at top left prior to removing old bucket. Turn on after installation. It may take some time before icemaker decides to resume operation -- don't worry, it eventually will.

Replacement of broken ice bin assembly
September 22, 2020|AnnM, Houston

There is really nothing to install. You simply remove the broken bin (my assembly fell apart) and put the new bin in its place. I had turned the ice maker off while I was waiting for the new bin. I simply turned it back on and in a few hours the bin was dispensing ice.

Easy fix
August 10, 2020|Undisclosed, Hawthorne, FL

The old one was hard to take out. The new one was easy to put in. The water did not immediately begin filling up the tray in the freezer section, but to our delight, when we checked on it later, the bin was half full! Yeah. Next up, the rinse aid dispenser in our Kenmore Elite dishwasher. We have only Kenmore appliances in our kitchen and laundry room.
