Our 14 year old Samsung quit making ice. Had repairman out Said it would cost $500 for a new part. We're going to use ice trays for a while. Asked him what brand he recommended and he said just buy the cheapest one with the features you like. He said none are made to last anymore. Did recommend speed queen washer if you can afford it. |

Basically the same thing my appliance repair friend told me about washing machines, buy the least expensive one and when it quits throw it away and get another one. Praise the LORD my appliances have lasted over twenty years but my daughter has to replace a washing machine soon. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

If you have a place to put it I recommend one of the stand alone little ice makers. With new vineyards drilling deeper and deeper our water quality has changed faster than we can keep up with filters that take all the minerals out. Just glad to have water to flush with. So we drink bottled water. Did not want ice made with facet water. So the stand alone ice maker came to our kitchen. Works very well. My only complaint is it is nosier than the ice maker in the fridge.
This little unit is 18 x 24 inches just over 24 inches high. Makes ice cubes fast. It is 3 years old and was a cheaper one. I think under $100 but not sure on that. Keep that old fridge going until something else quits on it.

| That's something I've wondered about. Does water that goes to ice maker go through the filter? I change our filter every 6 months. Thanks guys |

Whirlpool frig , ice maker quit , so wondering on replacing just that , see I can get unit for under $80 online but what all is wrong ? Never have replaced water filter and through the door water works fine but no ice . Dang ice maker occupies lot of room in frig just to dispense through door . Somewhere in basement is the ice maker i bought for old Frigidaire frig I bought when we moved in here back in the 70's . Bought the frig and wife wanted a ice maker , store owner said he would sell her one for $10 - I could install it but when it quit working DO NOT CALL HIM as they all are a service problem he does not want ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

Ice maker stopped on our LG fridge(french PITA doors, freezer in bottom(PITA). Busted plastic gear. I bought a new LG ice maker for $150 LESS than direct from LG. Still find that 'silly' that ,buying from 3rd party is CHEAPER ? !! ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| Went thru four iterations of Warranty then Personal Repairs and replacement on our Samsung Three Door Ice Maker system. Still made Ice in lower freezer but door ice and water got bypassed, then the condensation collecting and leaks on the floor came, it went. |
