A:AnswerThe small cubes are about the size of a child’s thumb. The large cubes are about the size of an adult’s thumb. Not much of a difference really. But I’m totally impressed with how fast it makes the ice. Within about 7 minutes the first batch is out followed by every 6 or 7 minutes after that.
A:AnswerYes. There is a sensor to stop the ice maker from making more ice once the bin is full. It is possible to rearrange some of the cubes that went in last to make room for another batch.
A:AnswerHi there! I understand your concern about rust in your Insignia ice maker. While small amounts aren't highly toxic, consuming rust-contaminated ice isn't recommended, and it can affect ice taste and clarity. Many portable ice makers have non-removable parts, making thorough cleaning difficult.
For the best resolution, I recommend contacting Insignia Support at 1-877-467-4289. They can advise on cleaning, replacement parts, or if your unit qualifies for service or replacement.

A:AnswerThank you for your inquiry! When your Insignia™ Portable Ice Maker with Auto Shut-Off stops making ice, there are several troubleshooting steps you can follow. First, ensure the ice maker is plugged in and the power switch is turned on, and verify that the outlet is working by plugging in another device. Check the water reservoir to ensure there is enough water, as the ice maker won't function if the water level is too low. Use clean, filtered water to avoid mineral buildup. If the ice basket is full, empty it to resume ice production. Ensure the ice maker is in a well-ventilated area and not exposed to high temperatures, ideally between 50°F and 90°F (10°C to 32°C). Regularly clean the ice maker using a mixture of water and vinegar or a specialized cleaning solution to remove mineral deposits and dirt. Unplug the ice maker for a few minutes to reset the system and check for any obstructions in the ice tray or water pump.

A:AnswerI had that same situation happen to me recently. I took my portable ice maker to the Best Buy store I purchased it, took them minutes to find my record and the Geek Squad protection I had purchased, took my damaged item and replaced it immediately. I was thrilled.
A:AnswerI’ve noticed when I refill the water the light stays on. Simply turning the machine off, waiting a few seconds, and turning it back on seems to work for me.
A:AnswerThere are two sensors on the left and right above the basket. Clean those with rubbing alcohol & a paper towel. Those are light sensors and tell the machine that the unit is full.
A:AnswerThis is the same problem I'm having with mine and it stopped literally 1 month of having it. It's distressing bcuz i hate going to circle k every day just for crunched ice
A:AnswerMine has done this after having a full basket and it was like it forgot to reset. I just hit the power button turning it off then right back on again. So far this has only happened once to me and this corrected the issue
A:AnswerNo, this unit does not have a self-cleaning function. Clean the interior with diluted detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth, then rinse with clear water.
A:AnswerAssuming you mean that you just cleaned the interior out, my guess is that the drain plug isn't fully seated. Is it leaking from there (bottom right of water tank when facing it)?
