Great product until it broke, but will buy again.

My refrigerator stopped making ice. This was a great problem for my wife and eldest daughter. They love their ice. They convinced me to buy an ice maker, when I found one, they didn't like it, so I told them find one you like and I'll buy it. They chose this make and model, and I pulled the tri...

I haven't even had this machine a year, and it is leaking water all over my counter from underneath. In addition, pieces of the machine are in the ice. Complete waste of money.

Second unit in ten months and still no ice!!

Submitted 3 months ago

By Olin

From Jackson, GA

I purchased this ice maker as a Christmas gift in December 2023. The first unit worked for about five months before it stopped making ice. A replacement unit was shipped out at my expense (almost $30 for shipping) and It seemed to work well out of the box. A couple of weeks ago (late October 2024) it started making some strange loud noises and caused me some concern. It was still making ice until a few days ago and it stopped making ice. I can see ice in the hopper up top, but it is frozen solid and will not come out into the bucket. This ice machine has been a huge disappointment for me and my family. I would not recommend this product to anyone. It has been nothing but problems. These two units have lasted less than 10 months total. Not worth the money.

So I cleaned it yesterday and today THERE WAS MOLD! And now it's not even making ice anymore....not that I would have used the ice....expensive crappy machine!

From Dellroy, OH 44620

Only Been Sence July. Now the thing all the sudden starts clicking everytime we turn it on. Never did that before. I fear it is going to get worse. I can not find a diagram or parts for the unit anywhere to see about repairing the unit once it fully breaks. All manufacture devices should have a parts list so we can purchase and repair units. I am not thinking mine will work that much longer but we shale see.

1st one was great for 3 months and then major issues

Submitted 5 months ago

By Frustrated customer

From Maryland

I ordered one of these ice makers June 2023 and approx 5-6 months later it got incredibly loud and kept freezing up too much. I used the warranty and received a replacement after I had to pay for the shipping again. 2nd one out of the box was INCREDIBLY loud! I dealt with the noise to continue with my ice. Came home and my counter top was covered in water. The whole unit froze over and leaked everywhere. The machine also had white plastic chunks in the ice basket. Not worth the hassle.

I love my ice machine, life is worse without it. I had my first one replaced when the pump failed, the replacement has now failed. I have made sure I can manually send water into the upper reservoir. My question is can I easily replace the pump or is it cheaper to replace the unit? Or is this a common problem with another fix?

What's the best way to clean this machine. I run the "Clean" function and only ever use distilled water but still get mold growth on the interior. The manual doesn't mention any other cleaning method.

Asked by Archer
Verified Reply - AlaiThank you for contacting Newair! To clean your appliance, we recommend using a mixture of 13 parts water and 1 part vinegar or lemon juice. After cleaning thoroughly, please run a few cycles to ensure it is clean. Best Regards, Customer CareWas this answer helpful to you
Q

How often should I run a cleaning cycle? Is adding 1/2 a cup of vinegar and filling the water to the max line sufficient? When we turn it off at night, is it OK to leave it plugged in and just press the ice button to stop production?

Asked by ICY
Verified Reply - AlaiThank you for contacting Newair. Yes, the cleaning solution is sufficient. Press the “CLEAN” button. The power light will turn on for 5 seconds and then begin to flash. The cleaning procedure will last for 15 minutes. Once the cleaning cycle has ended, the power light will turn off. Press the “CLEAN” button again to turn off the function. 3. Once the cleaning process has ended, drain the excess water by positioning the ice maker near a drainage source. Remove the drain plug from the back, pull out the plug from the drainpipe, and let the water drain out completely. Then reinsert the plug. Best Regards, Customer Care.Was this answer helpful to you
Q

Is the unit meant to be on always unless cleaning? I am concerned if I turn it off. It will get moldy.
