    Dude this was genius! My warranty expired and I was so mad that after 3 months the same thing was happening. I was looking at new ice machines today to buy a new one next week and I came across this video. Tried it, works perfectly fine! Thank you so much for uploading this

    Omfg bro I was doing everything to cleaning it and taking it apart and as soon as this video ended, I cut out the top part of Tupperware and it fixed it immediately. Thanks my man 🙏

    Thank you. I just used your plastic lid fix trick, took about 1 minute to do and no more sticking slide. Awesome!!!

    One of my group home staff was able to help me figure out the icemaker and it is now functioning so far at least it’s running so now I’m checking to make sure it’s making ice.

    Husband bought one for our home and we love it. But how can I take the top off as u did so I can clean it. Your help is appreciated.

    • @rickanderson704
      @rickanderson704  Рік тому

      Hello. I don't remember how, other than starting with the visible screws near the bottom and eventually you remove enough for the top to come lose. But I don't remember it to clean it. I clean the easy to reach parts with warm water and a rag then put in some fresh warm water and white vinegar in it and let it run over and over. About 2 parts water to 2 part vinegar. Then put fresh water in and let it run. Once done even the hard to reach parts look very clean. I hope that helps. There are some good videos out there showing ways to clean them.

    I see the you slide the top part of the ice maker off to clean like how you do that ? Do all the ice makers do that ?

    It was 3 months old- why didn’t you just return it?

    • @rickanderson704
      @rickanderson704  7 місяців тому +1

      Good question! After the 3 months is was not a quick and easy return. Didn't keep box that long, after 90 days the return policy change, especially for items not working, etc. I'm glad I didn't have to. It's still working great today, years later.

    How on earth do you get the little tray upright without it being on so to clean it?

    • @rickanderson704
      @rickanderson704  Рік тому +1

      Not sure, but maybe try unplugging it when it is at the best position to clean it.

    • @GretaKnauer1980
      @GretaKnauer1980 Рік тому

      For anyone else - if you take off the motor (right hand side on mine - 2 screws) the little tray is free to move around.

    I just got one and it’s not making ice at all. When it turns (ice meant to be dumped into basket) the water just pours back into the tank. And idea how to resolve it?

    • @rickanderson704
      @rickanderson704  8 місяців тому

      Sorry it didn't work. You might try "lightly" pulling the try toward you when you turn it on. If it is able to get past the start point and raise up the water might start. If it does then try a different type of plastic or a different thickness of plastic to see if it will work without you pulling on it. Just a thought of something more to try. Good luck.

      Hello. I don't remember how and am not home to see if I remember. I'll try t check sometime soon.

    • @rickanderson704
      @rickanderson704  2 роки тому +1

      Hello again. I didn't reopen it but after looking at it again I'm pretty sure you remove the white sides by unscrewing them from the bottom. That should give you access to the screws to the top. Not sure, but I think that is how it works.

    • @rickanderson704
      @rickanderson704  Рік тому

      No, if it is new, this fix probably will not fix it. If you bought it used, it is probably worth a try.
