I've never had great luck with ice makers. Mostly they clog up and stop working. The ice maker in my GE started leaking, ruined the floor and stained the ceiling below before I noticed it. That was about a year after the in-door water dispenser quit. Design flaw, they routed the water line too close to the interior and it is prone to freezing up.
