KITCHEN BASICS 101: 241798224 Ice Maker Replacement for Electrolux Frigidaire Kenmore Sears Refrigerator 241642511 241798201 241798231, 241642501, 5304445222, 5304456669(Refrigerator, Ice Maker ONLY)

I've used it a while. It still makes some hollow ice cubes. After $500 in plumbing and $50 for a new filter, I wish I'd just bought the OEM ice maker too. This is just not that great. It's ok. It makes ice but a lot of it is still hollow. I have not requested a replacement from the seller, but I'm thinking I probably should. 3 stars. Meh.Update 8/28/2024. Replumbed the ice maker line with 3/4" copper to a 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/2" T, 1/2" copper all the way to the shutoff valve and normal braided flexible hose from valve to refrigerator. Water flow and pressure are now great to the refrigerator. Filter replaced as well. Ice maker is working better with some solid cubes, but still producing some hollow ones. It initally was making hollow ice cubes, but I checked my line and had very low water flow on the icemaker line. Replacing the water filter also did not resolve it. Replumbed the water line and its doing better, but not sure that's completely the issue. The old OEM ice maker was making solid cubes even with low flow, it just had a broken tang and sometimes jammed up. I need to let this one run and see how it does for 24-48 hours. On 8/24 I reached out to the seller as it was past the 30 day return period. (I was slow to install it.) They offered some links about things that might cause the hollow cubes, but also said they would replace the unit if I was convinced the problem was with the unit. So that's a positive on the support. I may or may not need to take them up on that. I'll review the links they sent to see if there is some adjustment I can make to the icemaker itself. If not, probably will request that replacement unit.It's making hollow ice cubes. The old one didn't do that, but it may be low flow into the refrigerator or other issues.

Did what anyone buying this would expect, fixed the no ice issue. Nearly identical match to the OEM model and all functions were the same. Old one stopped making ice randomly and occasionally made one round of 6 cubes before coming to a standstill. Could not understand what was going on but clearly a continue cycle command was not going through. Original ice maker was 18 years old and odds are the internal sensor was not registering proper temperature ranges despite freezer being a 0F range. Ice maker comes out as simple as pushing it upwards from underneath and removing from the groves holding the two screws on side of freezer. From there disconnect the cable connection and invert for replacement. Easy as can be. Let it run overnight and no longer heard loud ice cube sounds like before. Very quiet cube dropping in bin sounds. The motor might be running smoother giving it that light toss vs an instant eject sound. After a full 24 hours my ice bin was maxed out. Summer vibes are ready to roll! Be sure to match your Ice maker model to the advertised models mentioned.

Installed with no issues and has been making ice consistently for 2 weeks so, so far so good!

Was considering replacing my fridge due to a bad ice maker, but i found this and figured id give it a shot. 15 minutes of work later (literally 2 screws and a plug) and I have a functioning ice maker again. Happy!

Good icemaker but it doesn’t make ice that quickly. Easy to install

This was a perfect replacement for our 2003 Frigidaire refrigerator. Very easy installation and it works perfectly.

The first one I ordered didn't work, the replacement one is working just fine. Got the return paperwork put it in the same box and sent it off no charge.

I don't know yet. Overall, I'd say 4-1/2 stars. Since I can't give that, 4 then. Good value if it works and lasts. Deduction for wire bail hanging a little bit too low, catching ice bin slightly, and harness being a 3"-4" longer than the OEM unit, requiring rerouting wires a bit. Otherwise, so far so good and I'll update the review.I installed it 5 minutes ago so no idea if it functions or any idea of longevity yet. If it works and lasts at least 2-3 years, then totally worth it at 50 bucks. If it fails prematurely, I'll probably get an OEM unit. Although the OEM unit only lasted 5 years which I find pretty weak given my last one was still going strong on my last refrigerator 19 years in...when the refrigerator itself failed. I will update this review at various points: when I confirm it is working properly, then hopefully in a month or a year and eventually when it fails, if it does.It's similar to the original Frigidaire ice maker with a couple of differences:* The plug-in wiring harness was about 3" longer than the original, requiring me to re-route the wiring differently to avoid blocking the slide-in Ice bin* The on/off wire bail extends a little bit lower than the original when installed. It slightly catches/rubs the ice bin when sliding bin in and out, if the bail is in the down/on position. Easy enough to avoid by reaching in and turning it off. But I am 100% sure my wife will never remember to do thatInstallation is super easy and only takes a few minutes. Loosen (don't remove, just loosing about 1/4") two screws above ice maker that mount the icemaker to the freezer wall. Lift the unit off those screws. unplug the 4 prong connector. That's it. Pull it out. To reinstall new unit, plug the wiring harness back in matching the color coded wires accordingly, align the water tube at the back wall with the square "funnel" on the back edge, hang the unit on the two screws and tighten the screws back down. A 1/4" nutdriver is the only tool required. (or 1/4" socket with extension...)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
