It's a shame the fridge I wanted requires this ice maker since it obviously many problems. Please listen Frigidaire.

Ice maker is great. It isn't too noisy and is functional. No complaints!

Ice has a funny taste

We have this unit installed in a FFTR1835VB model refrigerator. The ice has begun to have a very funny taste associated with it. We verified the fridge and freezer has no old, open food inside. We emptied the ice bucket and wiped it down. I don't believe this ice maker has a water filter with it so we aren't sure what step to try next and get this bad taste to go away. Thanks for the help!

Missing Part

I purchased the IM117000 top mount ice maker and it did not come with the 5304520537 Bracket for the 30 inch refrigerator. Everyone keeps handing me off to someone else saying that its a problem for another department

Part missing from Ice Maker kit

I bought the ice maker kit (IM117000) per the recommendation for my 30" wide refrigerator, however spacer 5304520537 is missing from the kit. The ice maker will not work without this spacer. We keep getting the run around.

Is there an on/off button?

I just moved into a place that came with a fridge and this ice maker. The ice maker is pretty much set up, except there is a sort of lever that is separated and next to it. I have been unable to make ice thus far. Where/how should I attach this lever? And is there an on/off button?

Ice Maker light

I have a question about this ice maker. I bought a FFHT1835VBO Frigidaire and I™™m disappointed that the freezer isn™™t lit. I need a flashlight to see what I have in the freezer. I have a IM117000 ice maker that will be installed when the people I bought it from can find one. Does the ice maker have a built-in light or do I need to keep my flashlight nearby.?

I recently bought this ice maker for my new Frigidaire top freezer refrigerator.I™™ve never seen a longer harvest cycle in an ice machine and I™™m in the business over 35yrs.Furthermore no automatic shutoff arm ?I™™m hoping the manufacturer has answers or it will be going back

Nice ice maker

I purchased the ice maker along with my top freezer refrigerator. The fridge I purchased is great. It has the recessed handles and looks so sleek. I do have an issue with the ice maker. It seems the ice turns into one big ice cube. With a few loose one on top. It makes a lot,of ice. Do I just need to put the ice maker button to off, when bin is particularly full. I don™™t use that much ice. I probably would of been fine with just ice cube trays. But since water line was already there. I figured why not...thanks

Works well so far!

I have had this ice maker for a few weeks now (I purchased it for my new Frigidaire top-freezer refrigerator), and so far it works well. The installers of my fridge had quite a time trying to get this unit in properly, but once they did, it worked perfectly, and after a few test batches, I had great ice. One thing I am confused about is how to get it to stop making ice for a while so I can use up what it has made. There™™s no sensor arm, and the stapled instructions that came in the box were taken away with the rest of the packaging by the installers before I realized they were gone. This is not a fault with the product, but I wish it were easier to find the answer. The good news is, it really cranks out ice! (If Frigidaire wants to respond to tell me how to turn this type of ice maker off and on, I™™d appreciate it!)

Need Operating Manual!

Seems to be nice enough product and no trouble installing. Had install instruction but no operating manual included. Saw how to change the ice size in a response to a review. No install guide or user guide on the product page. Or specifications for that matter.

It gets the job done

It™™s not anything fancy but it makes ice quickly and I LOVE the square design of the ice cubes. The negative is that the ice tends to accumulate toward the back of the tray and easily falls behind the ice bin.

Solid ice maker

This ice maker was installed a few weeks after the refrigerator was delivered. The installation was quick and easy. The ice maker is solid and produces ample ice. The only drawback is the design in regards to the freezer shelving. Once the ice maker is installed, there is only one possible position for the freezer shelf, making the bottom section quite small.

Received my ice maker kit and I am very pleased. It works great for a two person home. Not sure it would be good for a larger family. The size of the ice cubes are on the small size but compared to my other fridge that did not have an ice maker, I really like it.

4 days in....No ice yet

I had the ice maker installed by a technician where I purchased the fridge prior to delivery and I think there are parts missing. Example, I do not see a Feeler Arm as described for most ice makers and another post here describes a test/service button. I have a green power button and there appears to be a place beside it where another button might go but there is no button, just a small hole. I have no instructions since they omitted to put them in. If someone can let me know if I am missing these pieces it would be helpful.

Great ice maker!

We have enjoyed this ice maker in our new fridge! The default setting is programmed to make very small ice cubes (which happens to be our preference), but something to note. It was installed at the time of delivery, and we haven™™t experienced any issues. Overall, definitely recommend!

Expensive...for what you get

I just bought a FFHT1425VV beautiful fridge. I wanted an ice maker so I was excited to get the ice maker. However...when it arrived it was missing pieces. Just the clips for the water line but still....I installed the unit and it makes VERYsmall ice cubes. There are no directions in how to increase or adjust cube size. Even if they did...the tray has small capacity. Frigidaire support is non existent. Wish this freezer was compatible with the older style cube maker which makes large cubes for half the cost
