my ice maker stopped working. I unplugged it for a while and it worked again only to have the ice cubes melt, is there something i can do?

The ice compartment is not refrigerated. The ice keeps itself cold and slowly melts. The melt water is turned back into ice. There is a screen in the bottom of the reservoir, under the ice, that can become clogged, and need to be cleaned. Recommend using white vinegar to clean out the icebox periodically. If that doesn't work, there is a valve, next to the top bottle reservoir, whcih keeps the reservoir under the ice full, which could be stuck, and may need to be cleaned.

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 :/

Just wipe it down once in awhile and defrost when ice builds up. I've had mine about a year and it still works fine.

The unit only keeps the small opening in the center ice free, not around the outer part of the unit. Did you put in water or on top of ice? It will not melt ice, in fact once the temperature gets to about 5 degrees for any length of time, the hole will freeze up.

I also noticed the ice melting sooner than I thought it would. Since they are large, I thought they would stay much longer than regular ice. I am not sure where I saw it, but the supplier had some tips on how to keep the ice frozen longer...I will look and see if I can find where that was. Maybe if you contact the supplier - maybe reply to an email they might send...they might be able to get you this info faster...just a thought.

No problems for us. This is our second ice pack from them. They both continue to work fine. I would recommend contacting the company and ask for a replacement.

The ice was round with a hole in the center. That is if the machine worked. Neither of the two ice makers worked for us.

I'm not sure what could have gone wrong. The mixing blades should be constantly turning when the machine is on which would prevent them from freezing. Sorry I can't say anything else.

We were very unhappy with this product. It stopped working in under 6 months. The only hting working is the hot water! I did not know it could make different size ice cubes! Good luck! I hope yours keeps working!

yep- not too badly either. I don't like setting the icemaker on my fridge door to crushed ice from cubes because the ice gets all jammed up in there. I use regular cubes in the bullet and it works fine. btw- I got an off brand bullet one time and it leaked all over the place. Magic Bullets won't last forever- they break too...but that is because you will use it so much. I often find the Magic Bullet cups at thrift stores too so you can get additional parts that way. I even got a new blade piece at Value Village last week! This is the first "As Seen on TV" product I would actually recommend.

Are you using the right crystals? They should only be the "hotfix" or have adhesive that will activate with the heating tool. I bought some crystals from the craft store thinking they would work but when they kept melting I realized they actually had adhesive stickers in the back. After that no more melted crystals

A trick my mother showed me about refreeze is place two ice cubes in ziplock bag and place in freezer. If the ice cubes are frozen flat the the freezer was off long enough for the cubs to totally melt then refreeze as a sheet of water. This is a follow up to my previous answer for the acu-rite

I have never had this problem. It maybe a defective unit. This blender has worked flawlessly since I bought it 2 years ago.

Mine is still working just fine, with light to medium use throughout the week. When the ice maker starts it makes a soft motor sound, which is caused by its pump, and once the ice tray is filled this noise stops. Sometimes, you can also hear a louder sound, made by a cooling fan. This unit is not the most silent on the planet but mine still works. Hope this helps.

It's probably broken. Mine did the same after 18 months, the defrost cycle ceases to work and the unit just ices up. It stopped making headway against the humidity, the water in the bucket is basically the ice melting a little. I threw mine away. It was a nice dehumidifier while it lasted. Too bad it's not built well.

Hair drier or just turning off the freezer would also work well, just be careful because any plastic in the ice maker could get warped from the heat if you aren't careful.

I have used cube ice and small blocks of ice and still get the same result. It has a good grinder on it. You just can't over fill it or it won't grind the ice.

Couple of things here...........It sounds like you did not use the ice maker regularly. Is there ice in the tray? Is the door dripping from melting ice? Does that tray appear heavy, if yes there is ice in the tray. If there is ice in the tray then it is likely a solid piece of ice has formed, preventing the tray from sliding out or jammed in the door.
