Our house had a stand-alone ice maker installed under the kitchen counter when we bought it. Don’t remember the brand, but it stopped working a few months after we moved in. Replaced it with a Kenmore ice maker, because we trusted the brand. A part went out six months later, covered under the warranty. After warranty expired, something else went out. I’m pretty good at repairing things, so I found a service online where expert repairmen tell you how to fix your appliances. He told me what part needed replacing, and gave me a downloaded repair guide all the pros use.

I asked him if there was a more reliable ice maker than Kenmore, and he told the brand doesn’t matter, as there is only ONE manufacturer making ice machines. He said every brand out there is the exact same thing, and they all suck. All the major brands like Whirlpool, Amanda, Kenmore, etc., get the same machine from the same manufacturer. The only difference is the name of the brand.
