Thank you! That's not in the instruction book at all!

It's not that's why I'm here on youtube lol ty both so much

Thank you for some reason that not in my booklet.

This is not in my book either ! And I have really bad mold in back that I can't reach.

That feature would be make and model specific. Good if you have this model but useless for the majority of people.

Yeah I wouldn't want to use it it would smell like vinegar for awhile

I have tried this on my machine multiple times. Never worked :( . But, even if it does that, still use vinegar! Pushing water through does not destroy the mold. Add vinegar and run that, scrub as I did in this video. Basically do the same thing I did in this video, but also run the cleaning cycle if your machine will go into it.

Mine also has a "self cleaning" function. But that really won't do much.

Baby brush cleaners would be perfect for this and they are only a couple bucks

@krystalpolansky3572 Exactly what I was thinking or maybe even old school Test Tube cleaning brushes, they have nice long, bendable wire "handles". Because it needs to wrap around the metal ice molds.

Yeah me neither, I don't know how I never thought of looking at the bottom 😅

Lol, right.

Awesome! Glad to help!

You're welcome and glad to help!

I saw a video on here just tonight where they took the bottom and the side off of the machine and there is a sensor In there and they said to clean that if it stops making the full amount of ice. I don’t believe it was a Frigidaire brand but it’s worth a shot to try to find the video.

@@michellealms3238 Sounds like thats the ticket. It acts just the same as my washing machine that stopped filling up without any apparent reason. that switch/ sensor ( like yours) was keeping it from filling.

It's a bartesian. Makes coctails.

It can in a very large enclosure. But, I wouldn't recommend it.

@@earthling1984 what happened to yours ?

no white vinegar only

I would check your sensors. They are little things near the top on each side. When full, they see ice in the way and stop making I've until the path is cleared. Maybe they are dirty or there is some issue with them. The little screen at the bottom just pulls out. May need a little force. But that shouldn't have anything to do with it stopping making ice.

@@earthling1984 I did the vinegar n distilled water n cleaned everything with tooth brush, how long do I let the solution sit before turning on? I've tried getting scale outta where that little white screen is,how do I get inside there to clear it out

@@user-wu5uw6qy5f You could use some type of pipe or straw cleaner to push in there.

just pop it out and I spray it with my hand held sprayer so it gets back in there. just use the sprayer the whole time hotter the better. in bottom under that screen thing clean what u can and spray in there.but I have a problem with the outside vent don't let any dirt back inside u will never fix it as try and pull out any thing in there very carefully hardly any liquid on that try and keep it as dry as u can good luck to all of us. mine never works for more than the warranty would last before a year forsure she's dead

Fill, turn on, let a few cycles of ice be made, then drain, & repeat.

@@earthling1984 thank you!!

If I'm going away for more than 2 days, I drain it. If 2 days or less, I often just leave it running. I left mine full once a few years back for a week vacation. And turned off. It got moldy. I admit I added some bleach and it cleaned up nice. I took it outside and sprayed it out a LOT. Then I filled it, ran it, drained it, and repeated that many times, before using again. It was sparking clean again though.

@@earthling1984 I believe you just answered my question.... Do you drain it after each flushing when you clean it. (?)

I had that issue with mine after a deep clean. I unplugged it for a few days and when I started it up again it was working fine. I've noticed it does it after I've left it on and the ice bucket has been full an extended amount of time. But it still works fine. I've had mine about 4 years now.

Probably something else broke. Been doing this to my machine for like 4 years and still working great.

That's a Bartesian. Look it up. It makes all types of cocktails.

I actually have a review on it as well. Search YT for - Earthling1984 Bartesian.

Yeah I kind of showed / talked about that in this video.

He's alive and well.

@@earthling1984 Wow. He live to long

@@Pawsu.x Cats often live 20 years.

@@earthling1984 not all cats some cats live 4 years 3 days etc

@@Pawsu.x A quick search online will show 12 to 18 years being the average pet cat lifespan. Yes, some live longer. And yes, some live shorter. The ones that live longer are usually cared for very well and fed quality food (and not over fed). The ones that live very short usually have some type of genetic diseases, or were not care for / fed well.

Mine is in use 24/7. But yes if not using drain and dry.

It has a drain port...

Bartesian. It makes cocktails 🍸

I didn’t know they existed

Weird. Mine is still working years later. Looks and functions like new still.

I can get in there very well. But of course there are flaws to anything. Now, if you drink soda from a fountain then that is probably 1000% dirtier.

Also, not sure what reservoir you are talking about? The water reservoir is very easy to see and clean.

I use bottled water in mine, this still happens after a few months

@@ericadouglas0412I use bottle water in mine had it over a year and mine has never looked like this and I only wipe it out after it’s empty and I don’t run mine every day

Better with filtered water tbh

I use filtered water. It is just a Brita filter. I change the filter every 2 months. Not as good as Reverse Osmosis or Distilled of course.

@@erikae47 Ok. Please make a video showing how you would do it.

My manual said nothing at all about cleaning Sadly. But I've been doing this for about 4 years now and machine is still perfect. Running 24/7 for 4 years.

I use vinegar as well.
