when the ice melts does it remake or drain out?

Remakes. The ice bin is over the water reservoir so it just melts back into there.

Yea, just need to reach back and knock the ice forward, then when it gets full, push the wire sensor all the way up to shut it off until it gets low, then put it back down to turn it back on. Not a problem

Ohhhhhhh. I do this while it's DEFLATED! Thank you!!I wonder if it will sit low enough in the water. Well, we'll find out once this ice melts!Thanks again!

Yes. My advice is to only fill it with ice about half way. As the ice melts the food started to float. So we had to drain it and I realized that next time I wouldnt use as much ice. I really loved it. Worth the money and the food stayed really cold for several hours.

No it is poured into radiator and fill the rest with water just make sute to completely drain your cooling system prior

Yes, the pump has an overload (circuit beaker) which will kill the power when the impeller is frozen. After thawing out, it resets and restarts on its own.

If this is the same product that I own (it looks like it) I have found NO defects in it. It makes ice quickly. It obviously isn't a freezer, so one shouldn't expect it to stay frozen for an extended period.

This is not a freezer so the ice continually melts and new ice is formed. The drain pump is getting all the melted ice out of the unit to avoid ice blocks, etc.Tthe ice is always chewable and super fresh, just like with commercial ice makers.

It does not, it doesn't melt immediately but if you left it for quite sometime it melts. It would be nice to have a unit that dropped it into a freezer then continued to make more. We do really like it though...great for camping!!

No, there is no drain. The ice did melt, but the water remained very cold and kept the items in the buffet cold as well. We used it outside, so it was no problem to dump the water in the yard.

The new ice maker should not do that, I installed one and it worked perfectly and cranked tons of ice. You do need to make sure it is plugged in properly and there is no damage to the power cable or connectors. I think I left my old cable and reconnected it to the unit and it worked fine.

i cant answer about melting ice that is already existing, but i believe it probably would, i have sprayed my very steep driveway many times ahead of heavy frost conditions and i am very impressed by how it keeps frost away for several days every time i spray. hope this helps in your decision.

It will keep the ice melted around the de-icer if the temperature is cold enough. It automatically shuts off if it's too warm outside. If you set it on on ice, it will melt right down through the ice, but I put mine in before it froze. Do not chop a hole in the ice while there are fish inside. The percussion will injure the fish.

it doesn't make it cold but it does cool it down. The ice melts just the same as it would sitting out. so about an hour or so depending on where you have it sitting.

It cannot be submerged in water because of the fan motor and batteries. So if it is loose ice that will be melting no

I don't know. I have had our four plugged in since early 2013 and have not had to defrost it yet. There is no build up of ice, just a tiny bit of frost. I hope this helps. Overall it is well worth the money.

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.
