A:AnswerI googled about these machines. So apparently there's a small relay inside you should be able to hear it click when it's running correctly 2 times. (Once to open the water and then again to go to the next step. Mine clicks 1x's but not the 2cd. Which says to me that i need a new relay. They're only 25.00-40.00 thru ebay but the hard part for me would be the sadering the piece back on correctly. So i hope my 2 year geek squad insurance can help in this situation. Good luck
A:AnswerThe best way to clean out this machine is by using lemon juice and hot water or vinegar and hot water. Let it go thru a cycle or 2 before taking out the nasty water and running it again with only waste to rinse
A:AnswerNo. You’ll have to pull out a small plug to drain any unused water to clean the water reservoir area.I haven’t attempted to clean the actual ice-making parts, but I imagine I’ll use a bottle brush after I’ve had the machine for a bit longer.
A:AnswerIf using distilled water the sensor may not detect the water level and you may have to reset the machine. You should use distilled water because any other water still has lime scale and other minerals in it that can clog the lines.
A:AnswerAt this price point the manufacturer will likely consider it DISPOSABLE if you make a warranty claim. Oh, and the warranty station will be miles from home.
If the BB extended warranty allows you to return it to the store, may want to get one?
A:AnswerThe ice cubes are definitely not thick large nuggets. If you compare them to a "standard" ice cube from your refrigerator, the large ice cubes are about half the size and have a hole in the middle. I have not tried the smaller cube option, but my guess would be closer to the Sonic Ice cube style. Hope this helps.
