The frige ice-maker will not produce ice.  Also, the customer states that there is sediment in the water filter.  I am thinking that the two are related.

Can find anything with this Kenmore model. But if you cross it over to an OEM equivalent, I can probably find something for you.

I must have missed something along the way. I don't know what a OEM equivalent is.

You know what OEM is— if not, Bing it. BTW, a general comment for everyone reading this— we live in a time where a world of information is literally at our fingertips. Many people are still getting used to the idea that when they don’t know something, the answer is just a few taps away on their phone. 

And you know that Kenmore is a marketing company, not an OEM. Many other OEMs supply products for Kenmore who then slaps a “Kenmore” label on it. 

Your task here is to figure out which OEM model is equivalent to this Kenmore model in terms of construction. One way to do this is to look up a key component, like a control board and then use a cross reference tool at Appliance Parts Pros to see what other models use that same part.
