Most modern refrigerators can be retrofitted with an icemaker. Did that
to the one before the one we're using now. Turns out most of them, no
matter the brand, take the same icemaker. This does not include the
through the door dispenser types.

Yeah, my current freezer has the capability but it's not mine to mess
with. Plus - don't you need access to a water line? My fridge isn't near
a water line and it can't be moved.

My waterline runs through the bottom of the cabinets the twelve feet
necessary to reach the fridge. Either copper tubing or one of the newer
non-reactive plastic lines (what I'm using) will do the trick. I had
retrofitted for the old fridge and then the compressor went kerplunk and
had to buy a new fridge.

I never thought about extending the line through the floor. I am
(hopefully) moving next summer and I will do whatever it takes to get an
icemaker! ;-)
