This month GE unveiled a new icemaker to replace icemaker kit number WR30X10061. The new icemaker part number is WR30X10093. It is supposed to be a step forward in technology. Here are the features listed for this new electromechanical icemaker:

• Better reliability
• New on/off switch feature
• Icemaker is an improved assembly for easy installation
• 3 micro switches
  1. Water switch: calls for water to fill the icemaker
  2. Feeler switch: checks ice level to adjust ice production
  3. Hold switch: drives the motor
• 7 cube mold
• 2 pound ice production per 24 hours (approximately 70-100 cubes)
• Normal water fill time is 5.1 seconds

• Normal cycle time is 3 minutes

Time will tell if this new design really is a dramatic improvement over the old replacement icemaker kit (WR30X10061) but I’m betting the engineers at GE didn’t tinker with the design for nothing!
