I see A LOT of mold in that bucket that holds the water while it makesthe ice.... So im pretty sure mold and slime is behind that compartment as well.

Just found this exact ice maker in the clearance section of Walmart here in Arizona. Our new apartment fridge doesn't have an ice feature so we got this and now we don't run to store for ice anymore. Totally hands off device for most part, love it!

I found one of these barely used at Goodwill for $12.99. I wasn't looking for an ice maker but it was a good deal and I thought it would be a nice toy. I like it!

No mention on the drain plug to empty water when done. To prevent mold. It’s on the bottom of the unit. You can also use a microfiber towel to also soak up any unused water.

I purchased this ice maker and like it a lot, and use the cleaning feature. I noticed that if you look at 2:42, you will see that the inside of your water collection bin that fills up to make the ice looks like it needs a good cleaning. If it doesn't I apoligize and curious if it just naturally stains from the minerals in the water. If it does need cleaning, I'm curious on how to stop the cycle in the right spot to be able to get in there to clean it with a cloth or something. Great video thanks for posting.

Does it keep the ice warm or do u have to move it to the fridge

@mostrogolf22 29 күн бұрын

Everyone said what's needed to be said... besides needing the cleaning, no ones asked what part of the country you live in... North, south, etc. Temp and weather will promote the mold, particularly the southern region.

Seems you had better luck than me. I bought one of these in Summer of 2022, it just quit on me. It only lasted me two Summers, not two years. Just bought another one and it was actually bad right out of the box. Contacted Frigidaire and they told me to contact Curtis International regarding the first one that failed with very little use. Seems they're gonna make me jump through some hoops so I can get it repaired or refunded. They also don't make them easy to clean. Never again!

I'm wondering about getting one of these. I get tired of not having ice but it's just me and I'm thinking it would be nice to keep out and make a glass worth at a time - maybe 2. this is actually bigger than I'd need but don't think they make little ones...

It’s a really good one, but you need to clean it once it starts to taste off, no offense to this man but his tray that hold the water while it makes ice is super moldy. Follow it’s cleaning instructions and it is good enough for me and my roommate until we both want to fill half gallon bottles with ice at the same time

I've had one a couple of months and it mildews inside and gets scummy. Im cleaning it all the time. It doesn't seem right. I'm thinking the temperature needs to be lower. I'll have to take a look at your cleaning vid. It's not the easiest thing to clean especially in the back where it makes the ice. I take the screws out and top off.

Run some bleach water through it once a month or so.

Scott, saw your response on the condition of your ice maker, so won't bust your balls about it. One tip to avoid that kind build up is to only use distilled water. I'm also aware that the smaller machines are a pain to clean because the drain plug is on the bottom. I like the models with the side drain, much easier to drain before cleaning. I clean mine at the sign of residue, starting with lightly spraying all interior surfaces with bleach & scrubbing as many areas that I can get to with a silicone brush, followed by running a full tank of half apple cider vinegar & half fairly hot water. Then run clear water cycles until I can no longer smell vinegar on the ice. This normally takes 2 reservoirs of water & takes a while, but I only have to do it twice a year. Disclaimer: I'm very OCD about stuff being clean😎

your making ice that isnt good for you! You need to disassemble the unit and clean it! Look in the tray thats picking up the ice!🤢 ITS FILTHY!!! I was using this machine and was getting a scratchy throat and i had to clean mine as well. every 3 months it needs it! the hose and pump need to be clean as well

Unscrew the bottom, then peel the metal shroud off of it, then the top comes off with 4 more screws and use a small bottle brush to clean it up!

They clump because they were partially melted.

If the bag of frozen stored ice cubes is slammed against the countertop ; the cubes will probably separate moderately well.

Apparently one part white vinegar and one part water and hold the power button for a few second til the light above the small and large setting glows which puts it in self cleaning mode. And don’t forget to drain the excess from the bottom by pulling out the white plug by the front center
