I don't think you are doing anything wrong, but try switching back to large and see if there is a difference.

Mine is doing the same thing. I finally just stopped using the ice machine unless I need it for a one time use. Was awesome while it lasted :/

The 3 settings are small, medium and large. It does not make different types of ice. I love the dome shaped ice. We let the basket fill up and then freeze it do the ice maker can keep on making!

We use ice from our commercial ice machine - half cube. They are a little smaller than bagged ice.

My issue for replacing this part and my ice making unit started with an appearance of peeling inside my ice maker tray. The coating was flaking into the ice it made. Could be your taste issue. Assuming your not dealing with a bad filter cartridge. I hope this helps.

From my point of view, it is more work than it's worth. All of my recipes are for 4 or 6 quart machines, so none will work with this unit. Purchased mixes don't taste as good to me as my homemade from scratch ones. No ice, no salt is true, but you have to freeze the insulated mixing bowl for a minimum of 12 hours before using it. 24 hours works better, and then refreeze the contents you don't use right away, in the bowl, so you can dispense them using the machine again. Plus, it's mostly plastic. If you drop it, it breaks and needs to be replaced. My opinion, stay with a 4 or 6 quart electric machine that lasts and produces more ice cream.

I bought the ice maker it makes ice like it should but the problem is it will not stop making ice I have to turn water off to stop it from over flowing

It's not the machine. The machine does one thing and it does it well. What you do with the ice after is on you. If you're returning the item, I doubt you're looking for advice. The only reason why the ice is clumping is due to the outside air temperature, humidity and the temperature of the syrup. Try adjusting one of those three pieces.

Depends on how much flavor you want. The more the better the taste. Thats all I got. We really used ours for just the ice maker. Wished I could be more helpful.

Our water is very hard the normal cubes that come from our ice maker are white. The small amount that we make with this water have a white hue but are translucent.

Since I have no use for ice cubes I have no experience to draw from. I can say this about the water from my Aquasana filter. If I let it stand overnight it is crystal clear the following day and my well water is very hard.

I'm going to say no. I think you mean standard vs. widemouth? If so regular ice cubes are too wide. I would exercise caution with this product though. Read my review. The claims about keeping stuff ice cold for hours in a hot car seem to be completely bogus, unless i got a defective one, but I don't know what type of defect I could have had that would have caused such decreased performance, the product didn't appear to have any defect at all. I would melt ice cubes down and shove a bunch of them in then take it to my kids ballgame at by the end of the game 2-3 hours later all the ice is melted and the drink isn't very cold.

It may be freezing up. I only put 2 scoops of ice in at a time. When that has been crushed, I put I. 2 more scoops.Also, don't push the ice down. That causes the blade to get packed with ice.

I think one difference might be the amount of ice cream it makes. The model I chose makes 2 quarts (almost). Depends on the recipe. I am not sure the specs on the other orthe price and can't tell you the difference being worth it. Sorry. I love this one. I did find not to turn on the cooling with the beater. That causes the first ice cream into the machineto freeze on the bottom of the bowl prior to the other and hard to remove. Turn on the beater and then add the ice cream then after a minute or so turn on the cooler button.

Yes, waiting until the ice loses its frosty appearance helps. Also if the ice cubes are small to start with I have trouble getting them to shave correctly. I'm talking about the approximately 1/4" yhick cubes you get from some ice machines.Barry

My best advice to you is to examine the ice maker that is in your product. Does it look exactly like the IM6? GE has used the same ice maker for many years and is adaptable for top fill and side fill-both parts will come with this replacement. YouTube has several clips showing how to access the current ice maker and the replacement with the new product. I found this informative. Good luck.

Possible defective motor winding or your ice was still to cold (wait the 15 min. before blending) Return it for warranty if it happens again.
