Our beautifully designed countertop nugget ice maker is developed to avoid ice clumps and produces one pound of fresh ice per hour and has a large-capacity bin that holds up to 3lbs of crunchable nugget ice - that's 24 pounds of ice per day. Begin enjoying your first batch of ice in 20 minutes or less with the rapid production of this countertop ice maker. You'll always have fresh ice on hand thanks to a smart, automatic ice maker that refills when your ice is running low. Troubleshooting: (1) Unit alerts to add water when reservoir is already full of water (switching blue light ring) - *Inadequate water flow - Follow descale procedure manual page 9 of Use of Care *Air in water lines - Clearing trapped air requires manual priming of the unit. Remove white water filter or metal particulate filter. In a rapid plunger like movement, press finger at reservoir outlet 4 times to force water into lines (2) Low quantity ice or unit continues to enter defrost (slowly falling white light ring) - *Inadequate Cooling - With unit off, using a vacuum, clean the vent on left side of the unit to remove dust/debris *Improper Spacing around unit - Ensure unit has a minimum of 3 inches of clearance around the side and back walls of the ice maker for proper air circulation (3) Hardwater stains in reservoir/back wall/ice bin - *Descale procedure manual page 9 of Use and Care.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
In contrast, this unit produces plentiful amounts of wonderfully crunchy ice without any of the mold build up I found in unit it replaced. Cleaning and use has been a snap.
However it's is not a fire and forget unit. If one doesn't clean it, it will complain with a groaning noise that will wake the dead. Take the once every month cleaning recommendation seriously. This is done by setting it to a clean cycle with a vinegar and water mix. I run it four times, let it set overnight and then run it twice more in the morning with plain water.
You could do the cleaning with a bucket to empty the unit, but I found it easier to just set by the kitchen sink. That way I don't have to move it around as it's not the lightest appliance.
Another maintenance issue is a motor inside the unit and that is more painful. It needs to be oiled now and then (so far about every 4 months) or again, grinding noises that are very undesired. Such noises indicate significant wear to me, so it must be dealt with.
You have to remove the back plate (9 screws plus 2 on the top panel to free the backplate). The motor is on the left if you're facing the back and has visible fan on top. 3-in-1 oil or a spray equivalent at the join of the fan and motor does the job here.
That may sound like a lot, and I'm sure it may gave some doubts on dropping the $$$ this unit costs. But if one is willing to do the work, the reward is all the wonderful ice that one could want. I've had it keep up with the needs of a half dozen people coming over for visits.
