Does the whole thing slot together even if I don't want to use the freezer blocks? Or are they what holds it together? Thanks

They do not fit firmly together without the freezer block. The slots are not tight or secure enough. They will with any movement pop right out of their slot spaces. Disappointing.

They will slot together without the freezer blocks. All of the different items have the same snap patterns so they will fit together multiple ways, with or without the ice blocks.

Yes, it does. You do not have to use the freezer blocks. You can put each container in different places on the lids. It is not like a puzzle the pieces will fit almost any way you choose. They DO leak though...the only thing that we do NOT like about these containers. They would be perfect if they were truly leakproof.

Hi, Joe- Are you having trouble closing the freezer? The only reason I can think of for that is that the way you have positioned the food in the freezer may be blocking the drawers from moving correctly. If you don't have food in the freezer and the door is not closing, then you need to contact Customer Service for assistance.

I have it sitting on a part of my chest deep freezer that covers the compressor and acts like a shelf. It is not a hanging basket. It worked out good.

I've never used this in the freezer, but I got curious and poked around a bit and can find no mention of freezer use anywhere for this product. But, a similar question was asked regarding another size (Lustroware B-2896AA Smart Locks Jumbo Keeper 2.1-Gallon Food Container, Large, White) and was answered "unofficially" as follows: "I think it would do fine but am not sure how the clamps would fare being opened while super cold. I would let it set out for just a few minutes before unsnapping them."

I use three of them in my freezer. Heavy, but handy to lift onto the counter. They stay somewhat organized. My ice cube trays do not fit into them, so the last quarter is open. I have been using them for a long time and none have cracked. You do lose a bit of space due to the sloped sides, but worth it, I think.

Haven't tried it in the freezer. The divided container does fine in the dishwasher, but don't put the lid in there; it will warp and the gasket comes off.

The plates do clamp evenly without leaving any space in between. They do come together.

It hasn't been an issue for me. If you take the frozen tray out, it is still useable, and smaller, but the you loose your chill factor.

It is already assembled so you can't disassemble it. They have smaller size too. I use it inside of my refrigerator so I don't forget about food in the back.

I just installed this ice maker and am having the same issue. The ice comes off in a big block and does not separate without beating on it with the scoop. Still does not completely separate. We have reduced the temperature and it is a bit better. Going to reduce the temp a couple more degrees and see if that is the fix.

I am not using that feature, but it should not matter if you want to use both of them....just a guess on my part at this point. It seemed totally arbitrary as to which one is used for the freezer. I just put them in based on position. #1 to the upper freezer, #2 to the lower fridge. I will check the instructions and let you know if it is different from what I just said.

It will work for the freezer portion on the door. To be sure it's the correct one try taking out one that you have and compare the shape of it to the picture.

You can lock the mechanism that pushes the bag forward, so it won't smash the bags with the spring. That would allow you to store the non-frozen milk. I locked it in the freezer too.

No, there is separate block for it. Would be better if it would have a place on the block.

Yes! It all unscrews for cleaning and such, so you do not need to keep the ice container on there. Hope that helps!

Where the basket weave wires fold over the top frame, I suppose they could catch on something stored next to the basket that would be pulled out. I am using it as a freezer basket, so I have not experienced that. For my purpose, I am very happy with the quality and utility.

Yes, the lid does securely close without the freezer tray. However, without the freezer tray the smaller containers are loose within the larger bowl. And there is a lot of wasted space in the container without the tray.
