[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just call an appliance repair handyman. Shouldn't cost more than a couple hundred to fix, if that. [/quote]

Good one.  We have a 3 year old Kitchen Aid fridge and we have been trying to get the ice maker fixed since January with no real luck.  The factory repairman has been out 4 times so far and has replaced 2 different parts and it still doesn't really work.  Each time they order a new part it takes 8-10 weeks to get the part in as well.  Something is wrong with the electronics and so far they have replaced the power supply board, and the main CPU board.[/quote]

CPU? You all have some fancy ice makers.  Pretty sure mine consists of a powered mechanical switch, a water tube, and a lever bar.

At any rate, I agree with all the folks saying to write the buyers a modest check ($200) at closing, assuming it still isn't fixed.  The suggestion that the buyers are owed a new fridge is ridiculous.[/quote]

All newer appliances have way too many electronics in them.  Our ice maker actually does work sometimes, but the computer that controls it locks up or something where it stops working for weeks at a time.  If I remove power from the fridge, it will sometimes start working again, but that is hit or miss.  This is a tough problem for the repair guy to solve because when he puts the ice maker into "test mode" and forces it to operate it works.[/quote]
