    About a year later it died on me. First it started off with mild growing in the waterline. Then the ice reservoir started turning orange. No matter how often I cleaned it. Then the motor died. Was great for the year

    Very disappointed in this ice maker's longevity. Purchased two and ended up returning one as defective. The other one has started leaking from the back and it is not even 6 months old. I expect more from any brand, but especially Insignia. Poor quality - don't waste your time or money.
