Found out my ice maker was just a bad contactor after 2 hours of troubleshooting

Last Thursday I pulled apart a Sub-Zero fridge in a house off Maple Ave, swapped the ice maker module, then tested the old one on the bench and it clicked fine. Turned out the contactor coil had a hairline crack that only showed at certain temps. Anyone else ever wasted a whole afternoon on something that simple?

2 hours of troubleshooting" for an ice maker sounds pretty minor honestly. I've had AC units take way longer for simple fixes that ended up being something stupid like that lol.

Honestly, a broken ice maker feels more like a minor inconvenience than a crisis.
