My GE fridge is set up for an icemaker, that is to say it has the 4 pin off center connector and cover plate. My question is will I need a pump motor?

no pump is required. water pressure from your water source forces water into the icemaker where it freezes and is ultimately expelled as cubes when they are frozen. no water pump is used in the process at any time. the short answer is, no you will not need any kind of water pump.

This unit should work with all GE refrigerators that have an existing ice maker installation, i.e.: wiring, (2) screw mounting and a water solenoid valve.

I can't tell you if you need it or not. Ours quit working and we replace the circuit board first, and it still didn't work. So we replaced the heating element and the fridge works great now. The heating element might have been all we needed to start with. It's the cheaper part to start with, too.

The ice maker I ordered was exact replacement. The wiring harness is the only part that does not come with the ice maker. The connection from the old one fit perfect. I researched your model #MTB2156DEW and it looks exactly like model#D7824706Q. I will say that it is compatible.

If you can get it to connect to bolth the icemaker and the ro unit without leaking, you can but I would recommend sticking with the push connect plastic line. Its easier to route and work with. It my save you a future headache

I visited several appliance repair and supplier sites looking for the model and part numbers for interchangeability. It appears that the replacement motors apply to many units. Instructions should have info about any particular wiring changes which will permit use in your unit. It was fairly straight forward.

The kit is only a replacement ice maker unit. It DOES NOT contain the water valve or water tube up to the ice maker unit. You would have to check the back of the refrigerator at the bottom to see if there is a valve and water line running to the freezer compartment. I would also check to see if there is an electrical connector in the left rear of the freezer unit near where the ice maker would be.

It worked nicely with mine after I abandoned the original metal backing plate for the fan. My refrigerator is a top freezer unit.

Actually this unit WILL accept a standard icemaker copper water line. I've had one installed on my refrigerator for over 5 years and never had a problem with it.

Enough to get water from the refrigerator, but not enough for the ice maker to work. This unit also broke after pumping 5 5gallon bottles and I'm not exactly sure why, to much stress on pump or random issue. I believe they made a newer one that says it pumps the same gpm, but if you look thru the specks you'll see it indicates an improved motor. Since I want the ice maker to work also I decided to go with a holding tank instead of a stand alone system.

DA97-00258C This is based on looking at some appliance parts web sites. But to be sure, i would look at the picture of this unit on Amazon plus check the part number on your actual ice maker.

I don't know specifically about the these three items you ask about but I have this motor and it is an exact replacement for the Hayward pump. It was a really quick install.

As much as I know, modern large refrigerators don't ever draw more than a few amps, perhaps as many as 6 amps for a second or two when the compressor first kicks in. I believe the 15 amps the question refers to is minimum circuit size which includes the circuit breaker and all the wiring from the circuit box to and including the outlet box the refrigerator plugs into. Running small motors like compressors with less than a 15 amp circuit can at start-up cause a voltage drop that can lead to damage to the motor. Something is horribly wrong if your refrigerator ever draws more than 10 amps, no matter how old or inefficient it is.

My best advice to you is to examine the ice maker that is in your product. Does it look exactly like the IM6? GE has used the same ice maker for many years and is adaptable for top fill and side fill-both parts will come with this replacement. YouTube has several clips showing how to access the current ice maker and the replacement with the new product. I found this informative. Good luck.

The supply lines for a washer are the same size and fittings as one's garden hose. Also, a washer requires two lines: one for hot and another for cold water. A refrigerator ice maker requires a single 1/4" copper or plastic line. Also, the fitting at the refrigerator requires a different type of connection. Go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy a specific kit for an ice makert. While there you can compare it to washer supply lines and the difference will be obvious.

I used this motor for Kenmore Coldspot 106.74959400 refrigerator. It looks to be the same part for your model. I watched some youtube videos and it was quite easy. Simply detach the three wires and connect in same order to the new motor. My fridge has been working great ever since. Hope this helps...

I went to the frigidaire site. You can find out there. That's what I did. Good luck
