Does the box will not boot the water when the ice melts?

I do not use ice in the cooler. I use it primarily to bring home frozen goods from the market. The frozen goods remain in good shape even if they are in the container for one hour. Ice cream stays cold as well. If I were to add a coolant I would use blue ice blocks that do not have real ice.

I have not had a problem with it leaking water but the seams are not sealed. It's a great box overall and has come in very handy for me.

Assuming you don't have a problem with the water supply to the refrigerator and the filter is clean, the water line is probably frozen. It runs behind the ice maker mechanism and that section is known to ice up. It's a known issue and part of the myriad of issues with this unit that go wrong.

Technically it does but all it amounts to is a very shallow bowl shaped area at the top where you put the water in. I haven't used ice in mine but it MIGHT hold an ice tray's worth of cubes, that's about it.

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.

There is a small hole at the top. Must not be pictured but there is a hole. Plus you don't need that much ice that it would overflow as it melts.

Mine has kept a 25 gallon uninsulated plastic basin completely ice free with the temps in single digits. Not sure what temperature the water is, but it is still cold to touch.

The only advice I can give is to defrost as the ice builds up. Just pull the plug and let it defrost slowly. Do not use anything to remove the ice.

Hi David, According to the manual: "P1- Unit is defrosting-- Allow the unit time to automatically defrost. The error will clear after the unit self defrosts."

Not at all. It only turns on when the water temp drops below a certain temp to keep it from freezing

Mine does not shut off either even when the water is too hot. I would return it but I had discarded the box already.

No. I forgot what depth it could go when I went snuba-ing when I got to about 15 ft it started to freeze and shut off. It had a bit of water in it but I let the components dry and it works fine still.

Yes it does, it has a sensor that shuts the machine off. once it gets low again it will make ice again.

The only way I know if the deicer is working is if there is ice formed all the way around it, I wiggle the cord and if it is floating freely, it is working. The heat is on the underside so there really is no other way that I know to check it. Just don't let snow build up on it as it make cock sideways or sink.

I have not had that issue at all! In fact, my husband just used the ice bucket to chill some champagne. We left the bottle in the bucket along with all of the ice on our glass coffee table. The next day, the ice had all melted, but there was no mess outside the bucket. It looked like someone had just filled the bucket with water. I was very impressed! I highly recommend this ice bucket!

I have two of them, they melt the snow and make a channel to the gutter-down spout, melt water is gone. We are in Florida, but my daughter stops by our northern residence in the Buffalo, NY area and turns them on when we get snow which Buffalo gets on occasion.:) No icecycles since the installation which used to be a big problem.

The ice is held in a basket overtop of the water tank so as it melts it goes back into the water tank. You have to put the ice in your freezer to save it. This ice maker will brake on you!
