This 8-cube ice maker is used to help produce ice for your refrigerator. The ice maker receives water from the water inlet valve and will freeze the water until ice cubes are formed. Once the water has been frozen the ice cubes will be ejected from the mold into the ice bucket and will refill with water to repeat the process until the ice bucket is full. This ice maker does not include the bail or shut off arm. You can reuse the arms for your old ice maker or you can also order them separately if required. It does come complete with flat and round plug wiring harness, the mounting hardware, and the instructions. The harness can be reused. This ice maker will not fit refrigerators that have the ice auger mounted on the door. If your ice maker is not making ice you may need to replace this part. Please remember to disconnect the power and water supply before starting your repair. This ice maker is a genuine OEM part.
