So, every 9-15 months the ice cube tray gets cracks or the plastic part that keeps the thermistor in place breaks. So the only part that ever breaks is the plastic ice tray and the plastic retainer of the thermistor. Can you buy just the plastic ice tray? No, you have to buy one ice tray, one thermistor assembly, and two plastic parts that never break. The water then freezes the ice cubes that do make it out and it freezes into one solid mass on the bottom of the ice tray. Second, the plastic tray (because it is torqued to remove the ice) gets cracks in it. It has broken in a couple ways: First, the thermistor attachment assembly breaks off the ice tray. It is a small unit and will provide enough ice in the Summer for a couple people who drink ice water all the time. If the parts were cheaper, it would be an Ok compromise. Not too bad, all things considered.FINALLY: THE ICE MAKER - this is the worst part about the fridge. Nows a good time to clean the back wall of the fridge. We poured some hot water from the tap (not boiled water) into the drain to help it along, but that took forever.
If there are sheets of ice, wait until they sort of melt, then pull them out - otherwise, expect large puddles. You will need to defrost the fridge completely and have it turned off - leave the doors open.
Weve had it running for about a year and no more ice issues.What to do if the drain plugs up. Turn the fan on and occasionally check to see if it is still on - a power outage will turn it off again. This will then clog your drain plug with ice. With this off you will get a lot more icing on the back of the fridge. For whatever reason, the fridge circulation fan is defaulted to the off position. These are related issues in our experience. If you live in a house, get a bigger fridge that cools itself more traditionally.Icing and drain plug clogging. We live in an apartment and are used to these compromises. Theres a risk of it freezing if you rest it against the back. We put meats and other items like pickles, etc, at the very back of the fridge to keep them as cold as possible. This is a compromise for the depth of the fridge. There will always be frost and, especially in humid climates, some ice on the back of the fridge. Some of the problems weve encountered have been solved (for our needs, anyway). This is the product that could be great if only the parent company would al This is the product that could be great if only the parent company would allow it to be great.
