Here's my feedback from installing the bottom freezer.
- Never would have known that the electrical connection harness is there, just hidden behind a 3-screw panel.
- I never noticed the water spigot in the upper left. It was very sneaky!
- It took about 25 minutes for me.
The kit (model number IMK0028A) includes the following:
- An ice maker
- An ice tray/bucket
- A bracket to connect ice maker to the wall
- A little plastic bumper for your top wire tray
- 2x Shoulder Screws (so the bracket can slide on to them)
- 3x Screws to attach bracket to ice maker (bottom of ice maker)
- 1x Screw to secure the bracket to the wall
My kit included some additional stuff that I didn't need:
- It had 3 brackets, two of which were identical and weren't the length I needed (they caused the ice maker to be towards the middle of the wall, instead of the back. If I did this, the ice maker would not catch the water)
- Some additional screws
- A back plate to replace the 3-screw panel. It looked almost identical to mine with a minor difference or two
- I already had the bumper
Tools required:
- 3/8" socket
- 1/4" nut driver
- #2 Phillips screw driver
Seriously an easy install, and it (obviously) produced ice faster than the ice maker in the fridge. The ice bucket is a lot bigger than I wished, though.
I used the following YouTube video to disassemble the bottom freezer (start at 13:45):
