Pros & Cons
Pros
Used on countertop ice maker. Had to grind the shaft off a bit, but works great. The original turns at 3 3/4 rpm, this one is 4-5 rpm.
Highlights
Quality
Likely plastic gears inside which is what failed on the original that came with the ice maker.
Competitiveness
I had to dremmel cut the key about 1/8” to fit the turn gear.

Shaft is longer than on original motor so decided to install a 14 spacer between motor and housing and cut a hole 214 hole in ice maker rear cover not enough clearance between motor and cover

Other option would be to shorten shaft and lengthen flat portion of shaft to match original motor shaft
