Product Manuals

Q: Did you sell me the wrong accessory? Since I can't get BEST BUY to fulfillment their agreement. I was wondering if you answer my question, there is not enough characters in this question block to explain my question so I have attached a word file explai

A: Sadly, this ice maker did not work with my refrigerator. The cord connector on the ice maker is not compatible with the receptacle in the refrigerator. Although the model numbers say it is a match; it is not.

Q: How do you hook this up to a water source? Do I need any additional accessories or does everything I need come in the box?

A: Had to buy kit from best buy and had them install it and it does not work properly

Q: Does this Ice Maker filter the water? Are these tap water ice cubes?

A: I have a water softener for my home and that is the same water that goes to my ice maker. The ice maker it's self does not filter the water. So basically they are tap water ice cubes. I hope this helps.

Q: Is this icemaker kit compatible with Whirpool Model: WRT518SZFM?

A: Hello LMK17, The Ice Maker that is compatible with model WRT518SZFM is Whirlpool Ice maker kit model no. W11517113. Insignia Support, Merjorie www.insigniaproducts.com/support

Q: Need a replacement ice maker. Part# ER243297606. Model# NSRFD21SS7 INSIGNIA

A: This is a perfectly good ice maker not sure if it is the exact one you need or not. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help but if you have any other questions I will be glad to answer them.

Q: Why does our only produce a few cubes each hour?

A: Cause it's a lousy unit. I had best buy to my house 5 times before they got it right and when the guy left he assured me nothing was leaking. Next morning I mopped up water for an hour and it wrecked 4 ceiling tiles . I'll never buy anything here again.

Q: What kind of water filter can I use on my waterline? This ice maker doesn't come with one.

A: undefined

Q: Is this icemaker kit compatible with my Whirlpool top freezer fridgerator model # WRT112CZJW?

Ok but cumbersom to install, first one defective
I purchased an Insignia Fridge, specifically with the option of adding the icemaker. I would have preferred to buy it with the icemaker preinstalled, but that was not an option. This fridge was for a rental property, and I wanted to make sure my tenants had an icemaker, as the old fridge had one. Now, I consider myself somewhat handy, as I maintain a house and two rental properties myself. The installation of this icemaker wasn't terrible, but it was cumbersome. There are two filling tubes included, depending on what model fridge you have. The manual is very vague about identifying which one to use. Mine was the shorter one because the longer one simply didn't fit. The solenoid valve that turns on the water supply for filling the icemaker was a bit of a pain to install. Getting the correct orientation and figuring out exactly which screw holes to fasten it to....required some trial & error (manual again not that helpful). I honestly don't like the angle that they expect you to attach the supply hose. I believe it will result in too tight of a bend on the hose when the fridge is installed. After getting the unit installed and confirming it made ice, I got a call from my tenant a few days later, stating that the unit was making popping noises for 10-15 minutes. After it stopped, it seemed to work fine. Two weeks later, things went to hell. It would fill the ice tray, freeze the ice, NOT eject the ice, and then proceed to try and fill the tray again. This would result in water overflowing, ponding, leaking, and freezing inside the freezer. After a few attempts to troubleshoot the issue, I concluded that the unit was defective. I purchased a replacement and returned this one (no hassle at all from Best Buy). When removing the defective unit, it was nearly impossible to disconnect the electrical connector inside the freezer (it wasn't exactly easy getting it in either). I believe the connector was designed to be connected once and never disconnected. I ended up breaking off a tab from the connector on the defective icemaker to get it loose. The replacement seems to be fine (knock on wood). Overall, the experience was a hassle, but this was the only icemaker option with the fridge I purchased. Given the option again in the future, I will probably purchase another brand that offers the icemaker preinstalled.

Great Ice Maker
I purchased this ice maker and installed it with no problem. I have never previously installed and ice maker. It keeps up with the demand. Works well. I ordered it on bestbuy.com and picked it up at the store curbside pickup. That worked flawlessly.

Good overall.
Works well, a little noisy at times but this does not last long. And not as noisy as the last one I owned. Easy to install on your own except for one thing. The power connection in the freezer cabinet is in a spot where you can't see it and the directions don't show which way it is oriented. If you use a mirror or smart phone camera in selfie mode it will let you look up into the recess. An annoyance more than anything.
