OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This portable icemaker uses a fully automatic control system, with an advanced microcomputer for easy and convenient ice making. Making ice is simple and fast. Just add water, plug into an outlet, and press the ON button. You can select one of the two ice cube sizes with the touch of a button. When first turning on the unit or during icemaking cycles, the compressor will stay idle for 3 minutes, while energizing.

There are warning indicators that alert you to fill water when the reservoir is empty and to remove ice when the storage basket is full. The icemaker also has built-in safeguards that can limit accidental damage, automatically shutting down the system when necessary.

Pre-Operating Instructions

Please read carefully.

1. The incline angle of the icemaker cabinet should not exceed 45° during transportation or use. Do not turn the icemaker upside down. Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. When the icemaker is moved or transported, please allow time for the fluids in the compressor to settle. Before using the icemaker for the first time, please wait 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in its proper place.

2. Please ensure the icemaker is level and on a stable table or platform to avoid malfunction.

3. The machine must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases.

Leave an 8-inch clearance on all sides of the icemaker for proper ventilation.

4. Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the icemaker. It is best to fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or lower.

Pre-Operating Instructions

Operating Instructions

1. Open the top cover, take out the ice storage basket and fill the water reservoir with drinkable (tap, purified or bottled) 2.3 quarts water to the level mark and replace the ice storage basket.

Operating Instructions

Make sure that the water level does not reach above the level mark or the
bottom of the ice storage basket. Close the top cover.

Note: During the operation process, if the level of water in the water reservoir becomes too low, the machine will automatically stop operating and the “Add Water” indicator will display on the LED.

2. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet. Push the ON / OFF button on the control panel to turn on the machine.
3. Select the desired size of ice cube by pressing the S or L ice selector button.

S = Small ice cubes (Approx. 7 minutes)
L = Large ice cubes (Approx. 12 minutes)

The icemaker will start making ice soon after. The next cycle of 9 ice cubes is complete (based on water temperature, ambient room temperature and selected ice cube size).

Note: To stop the operation, press the ON/OFF button.

Operating Process

1. Water is pumped from the water storage tank to the water box, which may take up to 1 minute.

2. The icemaking cycle begins when the evaporator rods are dipped into the water box. You will hear the compressor working.

3. It will take approximately 5-13 minutes for each icemaking cycle, depending on the size selected. The larger the size, the more time is needed to make the ice. After the cycle is finished, the water box will tilt forward and the remaining water will flow back into the water storage tank. The evaporator rods will then release the ice cubes.

Note: If the room ambient temperature is below 60° F, then small ice cube sizes are suggested to prevent ice cubes from fusing together.

4. Approximately 60 seconds later, the water box will tilt backwards and the ice pusher will push the ice into the ice storage basket. After the water box flips back to its original position, the next icemaking cycle will begin.

5. When the maximum capacity of ice cubes is collected and the ice reaches the temperature sensor, the icemaker will automatically stop operating. The “ICE FULL” LED indicator will light up.

If more ice is needed, remove the ice from the ice storage basket; then replace the basket into the machine, making sure that the basket is placed back to its original position. Note: When replacing the basket, ensure that the temperature sensor is above the basket so that the machine operates properly.

6. To continue making ice, check that there is water in the water storage tank. If there is no water in the water storage tank, then no water will be pumped into the water box, and the operation will stop. The “Add Water” LED display will light up. Press the “OFF” button. Fill the water storage tank with water, and then press the “ON” button for the icemaker to begin operating again. Allow the refrigerant inside the compressor at least 3 minutes to settle before
restarting.

7. If the compressor stops for any reason such as water shortage, too much ice, power off, etc., do not restart the machine right away. Wait at least 3 minutes before restarting the machine.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before using your icemaker, it is strongly recommended that you clean the icemaker thoroughly. Be sure to clean the icemaker regularly.

1. When cleaning, please make sure the power has been turned off and the plug is disconnected from the outlet. When plugging or unplugging the unit from the outlet, pull directly on the plug. Never pull on the power cord.

2. Remove the ice storage basket.

3. Drain remaining water from unit. Remove the cap, then the
rubber plug from the spout. When assembling back together,
the rubber plug must be inserted first into the spout, and then
capped. Otherwise, the icemaker will leak.

4. Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water and wipe with a soft
towel or sponge. Solvents, detergents and abrasives must never be used for cleaning.

5. Wipe the inner parts, such as the ice storage basket, water reservoir, water box, ice pusher, and evaporator rods.

6. The outside of the icemaker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution, warm water, and a soft cloth.

7. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.

8. To begin making ice once the unit has been cleaned, pour clean water into the water reservoir and fill up to the level line follow operating instructions. Never tilt or place the icemaker on its side, otherwise you must wait 10 hours for compressor coolant to settle.

9. To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, the water in the water storage tank should be replaced every 24 hours.

10. When the machine is not in use or will not be used for an extended period of time, unscrew the drain cap, then remove the rubber plug behind the unit to empty the remaining water in the water reservoir completely. (Follow the instructions in number 4 above.)

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    What should I do if my Igloo ice maker still doesn't make ice after following the manual's instructions?

    Answer

    If your Igloo ice maker is not producing ice after following the initial setup, try these troubleshooting steps:

    • Reset the Unit: Turn off the power, wait for 10 minutes, and then turn it back on. This can clear minor system errors.
    • Check the Compressor: When first turned on, the compressor stays idle for 3 minutes while energizing. Ensure you have allowed enough time for the cycle to begin.
    • Verify Water Levels: If the "ADD WATER" light is on, the reservoir is empty. If there is water but it's not pumping, the pump may be clogged or malfunctioning.
    • Check the Temperature Sensor: Ensure the ice basket is properly seated and that the temperature sensor is positioned above the basket. If the sensor is blocked or detects a "full" state, it will stop production.
    • Ambient Temperature: If the room is too warm, it may struggle to freeze. Ensure there is at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation.
    • Wait After Moving: If the unit was recently moved or tilted, the refrigerant needs time to settle. Wait at least 2 hours (or up to 10 hours if it was on its side) before starting.

    If the problem persists after these steps, the manual recommends contacting your dealer or Igloo customer service for further assistance.

  5. My ice maker on my igloo is making a sound

    Teresa asks My ice maker on my igloo is making a sound
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why is my Igloo ice maker making a noise?

    Answer

    It is normal for your Igloo ice maker to make some sounds during operation. According to the manual, you can expect to hear the following:

    • Compressor: You will hear the compressor working during the ice-making cycle.
    • Water Pump: Water is pumped from the reservoir to the water box, which takes about 1 minute.
    • Ice Harvest: You will hear the ice drop and being flipped into the basket.
    • Water Box: The water box will tilt forward and backward during the cycle, which may create some mechanical noise.

    The manual describes the overall noise level as "very minimal." However, if you hear abnormal or unusual noises beyond these standard operational sounds, the manual recommends consulting the manufacturer for further troubleshooting. Ensure the unit is level on a stable platform, as an uneven surface can sometimes cause increased vibration or noise.

    If the sound is accompanied by flashing lights, it may indicate that the ice basket is full or that ice is stuck. Try emptying the basket and restarting the unit.

  7. Were a re the water tubes in ice maker

    Dorothy M Ward asks Were a re the water tubes in ice maker
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Where are the water tubes located in the Igloo ice maker?

    Answer

    The water tubes in the Igloo ice maker are internal components that facilitate the movement of water from the reservoir to the ice-making mechanism. According to the manual and operating process:

    • Water Reservoir: This is the main storage area where you add water.
    • Water Box: Water is pumped from the reservoir to a smaller container called the water box (this process takes about 1 minute).
    • Evaporator Rods: These rods are dipped into the water box to freeze the water into cubes.

    While the specific "tubes" are not externally visible or listed as a user-serviceable part in the basic diagram, they connect the water reservoir to the water box. If you are experiencing issues with water flow, ensure the unit is level and the water pump is not clogged. For cleaning, you can wipe down the internal parts including the water reservoir and water box with a mild detergent and warm water.

    If you need to drain the unit, the water drain cap and rubber plug are located at the bottom or back of the unit, depending on your specific model.

    • Note: If the machine is not getting water, the pump may be faulty or clogged.

    Always ensure the unit is unplugged before attempting to inspect any internal components.

  9. My Igloo ice maker I put the water and show me the light ice make is full It’s not true it’s not make ice

    Esther asks My Igloo ice maker I put the water and show me the light ice make is full It’s not true it’s not make ice
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why is the 'Ice Full' light on when the basket is empty and no ice is being made?

    Answer

    If your Igloo ice maker is showing the ICE FULL light even though the basket is empty, it is likely a sensor issue. Here are the steps to troubleshoot this:

    • Check the Temperature Sensor: Ensure the temperature sensor (located above the ice basket) is not blocked or dirty. If it is covered in frost or debris, it may falsely trigger the 'full' alert.
    • Reposition the Basket: When replacing the ice basket, make sure it is seated correctly in its original position so that the temperature sensor remains above it.
    • Reset the Unit: Turn the power off, unplug the machine, and wait for about 10 minutes. Plug it back in and press the ON/OFF button to restart the system.
    • Check Ambient Temperature: If the room is very cold (below 60°F), the sensor may malfunction. Try moving the unit to a warmer location.
    • Verify Water Level: Ensure the water is filled to the 'Fill Line' but not above it, as overfilling can sometimes interfere with the internal mechanisms.

    If the light continues to flash and the machine will not start, there may be an internal malfunction. In this case, it is recommended to contact Igloo customer service for further assistance.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why does my Igloo ice maker say 'add water' when the reservoir is already full?

    Answer

    If your Igloo ice maker displays the "ADD WATER" light despite having water in the reservoir, it may be due to a sensor or pump issue. Here are the recommended troubleshooting steps:

    • Check the Water Level: Ensure the water is filled to the level mark but not above the bottom of the ice basket.
    • Level the Unit: Ensure the ice maker is on a flat, stable surface. If it is tilted, the sensor may not detect the water correctly.
    • Reset the Machine: Turn the unit off and unplug it. Wait at least 3 minutes to allow the refrigerant to settle before plugging it back in and turning it on.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How can I clean the water box in my Igloo ice maker? Does it come out?

    Answer

    The water box in the Igloo ice maker is a tilting component that moves during the ice-making cycle. While the manual does not explicitly state that the water box is removable for cleaning, it provides instructions for cleaning it in place:

    • Preparation: Turn off the power and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
    • Draining: Remove the ice storage basket and drain any remaining water by removing the drain cap and rubber plug from the spout.
    • Cleaning: Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water. Wipe the water box and other inner parts (ice pusher, evaporator rods, and reservoir) with a soft towel or sponge.
    • Drying: Dry the interior thoroughly with a soft cloth before refilling.

    If the gunk is difficult to reach, you may need to wait for the water box to tilt forward (which happens naturally after an ice cycle) to access more of its surface area. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the unit.

    If you suspect the pump or lines are clogged with residue, ensure you are replacing the water every 24 hours to maintain cleanliness.

    Note: If the unit is still under warranty (typically 90 days), avoid forceful removal of parts that are not designed to be detached, as this may void your warranty.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why does my Igloo ice maker stop making ice at night but work during the day?

    Answer

    Based on the Igloo Ice Maker manual, there are a few reasons why your unit might stop at night and resume in the morning:

    • Ambient Temperature: The manual notes that ice making cycles depend on ambient room temperature. If your home is significantly cooler at night (below 60° F), the manual suggests using the Small (S) ice size setting to prevent ice cubes from fusing together, which could cause the machine to jam or stop.
    • Ice Full Sensor: When the ice reaches the temperature sensor in the basket, the "ICE FULL" indicator lights up and the machine stops. If you use ice throughout the day, the basket stays empty enough to keep running. At night, if the basket fills up and isn't emptied, the sensor will shut the unit down until the ice melts or is removed.
    • Water Level: If the water reservoir runs low overnight, the "Add Water" indicator will light up and the machine will stop. Ensure the reservoir is filled to the level mark before bed.
    • Ventilation: The unit requires 8 inches of clearance on all sides. If it is in a confined space, heat buildup over several hours of operation could trigger a safeguard shutdown.

    If the unit is not full of ice and has plenty of water, try resetting it by turning the power off for 10 minutes and then back on. If the problem persists, it may be a sensor malfunction related to the change in light or temperature at night.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why does my Igloo ice maker shut off and display 'Add Water' immediately after starting, even when it has water?

    Answer

    If your Igloo ice maker is shutting off and displaying the "Add Water" light despite having water in the reservoir, there are several potential causes and solutions:

    • Check the Water Level: Ensure you have filled the reservoir to the level mark (approximately 2.3 quarts). If the water level is too low, the machine will automatically stop and trigger the alert.
    • Ensure the Unit is Level: The ice maker must be on a flat, stable surface. If it is tilted, the water sensor may not accurately detect the water level.
    • Clean the Water System: Mineral buildup or debris can clog the pump or interfere with the sensor. Drain the unit completely by removing the drain cap and rubber plug, then clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water.
    • Check for Pump Issues: If you hear the machine start but no water is being pumped into the water box (which usually takes about 1 minute), the pump may be clogged or malfunctioning.
    • Wait for the Compressor: If the unit was recently moved or stopped, wait at least 3 minutes before restarting to allow the refrigerant to settle.

    If the problem persists after cleaning and ensuring the unit is level, the water pump may be faulty, and you should contact Igloo customer service for further assistance.

    Note: Always ensure the rubber drain plug is tightly inserted before use to prevent leaks that could lead to a low water condition.

    For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the Igloo Ice Maker Manual.

    Troubleshooting Summary:

    • Verify water level is at the fill line.
    • Confirm the unit is on a level surface.
    • Clean the reservoir and sensors.
    • Wait 3 minutes before restarting.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Can I leave the Igloo ice maker plugged in after it finishes making ice, and will it keep the ice frozen for a few days?

    Answer

    No, the Igloo portable ice maker is not designed to keep ice frozen for several days. While it is an automatic machine that will stop when the basket is full (indicated by the "ICE FULL" light), it is not a freezer.

    • Melting and Recycling: As the ice in the basket eventually melts, the water will flow back into the reservoir. The machine will then reuse that water to start a new ice-making cycle automatically.
    • Storage Recommendation: For long-term storage, you should transfer the ice cubes to a freezer once the basket is full.
    • Water Maintenance: The manual recommends replacing the water in the storage tank every 24 hours to ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes.

    If you leave it plugged in, it will continue to cycle through making ice and recycling melted water, but it will not maintain a frozen batch for days at a time.

    Question

    Why does my ice maker stop and say 'Add Water' when the reservoir is full?

    Answer

    If your Igloo Ice Maker is reporting a water shortage despite being full, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take:

    • Check for Air Locks: Sometimes air can get trapped in the pump lines. Try turning the unit off, removing the ice basket, and gently stirring the water in the reservoir to release any trapped air bubbles.
    • Clean the Sensors: The unit uses sensors to detect water levels. Mineral buildup from hard water can interfere with these. Clean the interior of the reservoir and any visible sensors with a mild vinegar and water solution.
    • Ensure the Unit is Level: If the machine is tilted, the water may not reach the pump intake or sensors correctly. Ensure it is on a flat, stable surface.
    • Reset the Machine: Press the OFF button, unplug the unit for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and press ON. This can sometimes reset the microcomputer.
    • Check the Pump: If the water level is correct but the machine isn't pulling water into the ice-making tray (the "water box"), the pump may be clogged or malfunctioning.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, the internal pump or water sensor may be defective, and you should contact Igloo customer service for further assistance.

    Note: Always allow the refrigerant to settle for at least 3 minutes before restarting the machine after it has stopped due to an error.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why does my Igloo ice maker shut off with a noise while the water reservoir is still full?

    Answer

    It sounds like your ice maker may be encountering a sensor or mechanical issue. Here are several steps to troubleshoot this behavior:

    • Check for an 'Ice Full' condition: If the ice basket is full or if ice is blocking the temperature sensor, the unit will shut off automatically. Ensure the ice basket is empty and that the sensor (located above the basket) is clear of any obstructions.
    • Verify the Water Level: Ensure you have not filled the reservoir above the 'MAX' fill line. If the water level is too high, it can interfere with the mechanical movement of the water box.
    • Level the Unit: Ensure the ice maker is on a completely flat, stable surface. If it is tilted, the sensors or the water pump may not operate correctly.
    • Reset the Machine: Turn the unit off and unplug it from the power source. Wait at least 10 minutes to allow the refrigerant and internal computer to reset, then plug it back in and try again.
    • Check for Blockages: If the machine makes a noise and shuts off, the water pump might be clogged or the water box might be stuck. Ensure there are no mineral deposits or debris in the reservoir.

    If the 'Add Water' light is flashing despite the reservoir being full, the pump may be failing to move water into the internal water box. If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to contact Igloo customer service as the internal pump or sensor may require professional repair.

    Question

    Why is my Igloo ice maker making a loud noise when pumping water?

    Answer

    If your Igloo ice maker is making an unusual or loud noise during the water pumping phase, it may be due to a few common factors:

    • Clogged Pump: If the unit is not getting water or the pump is struggling, it may be clogged. Regular cleaning is recommended to prevent mineral buildup.
    • Leveling: Ensure the ice maker is on a stable, level surface. An unlevel unit can cause vibrations and mechanical strain on the pump.
    • Air Circulation: Ensure there is at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides of the unit for proper ventilation. Overheating can sometimes lead to increased mechanical noise.
    • Initial Startup: Note that you will hear the compressor working and the water pumping for up to 1 minute at the start of a cycle; however, an 'awful' or grinding noise is not typical.

    Since your unit is less than a year old, it may still be under warranty. The manual suggests contacting your dealer or Igloo customer service if malfunctions persist. You can also try turning the unit off, waiting 10 minutes, and restarting it to see if the noise clears.

    If your Igloo Ice Maker indicates it is full when it is not, it is likely a sensor issue. Here are the steps to troubleshoot and fix this:

    • Check the Sensor: The ice maker uses a temperature sensor to detect when ice has reached the top. Ensure the ice basket is placed correctly so that the sensor is positioned above it. If the sensor is blocked or touching something cold, it may trigger the light.
    • Clean the Sensor: Gently wipe the sensor area with a soft cloth. Dust or residue can sometimes interfere with its readings.
    • Reset the Unit: Turn the ice maker off and unplug it from the power outlet. Wait at least 3 minutes to allow the refrigerant to settle, then plug it back in and turn it on.
    • Check for Obstructions: Ensure the ice pusher is not stuck and that there are no ice cubes jammed near the sensor area.
    • Ambient Temperature: If the room is very cold, the sensor may misinterpret the temperature. The manual suggests using the 'Small' ice size setting if the room temperature is below 60°F to prevent ice from fusing and potentially blocking the sensor path.

    If the light continues to flash or stay on after these steps, the sensor or the internal microcomputer may be malfunctioning, and you should contact customer service.

    Based on the manual for the Igloo Ice Maker, if the "ICE FULL" light is on but the basket is not actually full, it is likely a sensor issue. Here are the troubleshooting steps to resolve this:

    • Check the Temperature Sensor: The ice maker stops automatically when ice reaches the temperature sensor. Ensure that the ice storage basket is placed correctly in its original position and that the sensor is located above the basket.
    • Check for Obstructions: Make sure there are no ice cubes or debris blocking the sensor's view or touching it directly, which could trick the machine into thinking it is full.
    • Reset the Machine: If the basket is empty and the light is still on, try turning the unit off by pressing the ON/OFF button. Unplug the unit and wait at least 3 minutes to allow the refrigerant to settle before plugging it back in and restarting.
    • Ambient Temperature: If the room temperature is very low (below 60°F), it is recommended to select the Small (S) ice size to prevent cubes from fusing together, which could potentially interfere with the sensor.

    If these steps do not fix the issue, the sensor may be faulty or dirty. You can try gently wiping the sensor area with a soft cloth.

  33. What type of refrigerant does this unit take, and where is it added?
    Igloo ICEBNH26SS

    Denise Warner asks What type of refrigerant does this unit take, and where is it added?
    Igloo ICEBNH26SS
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    What type of refrigerant does the Igloo ICEBNH26SS ice maker use and where is it added?

    Answer

    The Igloo ICEBNH26SS ice maker typically uses R134a or R600a refrigerant, though you should check the specific rating label on the back or bottom of your unit to confirm the exact type and amount required for your model.

    Important Note on Adding Refrigerant: Portable ice makers are sealed systems. Refrigerant is not a consumable like water; it should never need to be "added" or topped off under normal operation. If the unit is not cooling, it likely has a leak or a compressor failure. Adding refrigerant requires specialized tools (such as a piercing valve and manifold gauges) and should only be performed by a certified HVAC technician. Attempting to add refrigerant yourself can be dangerous, may void your warranty, and could permanently damage the unit.

    For general maintenance, ensure the unit has at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation and that the compressor cooling fan is not blocked.

    If you suspect a refrigerant issue, it is recommended to contact Igloo customer service or a professional repair technician.

    • Refrigerant Type: Check the unit's silver rating label (usually R134a or R600a).
    • Service Port: There is no user-accessible port; a technician must install a service valve to access the system.

    For more details, you can refer to the Igloo Ice Maker Manual.

    Disclaimer: Handling refrigerants is regulated by law in many regions and requires professional certification.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I fix the 'Add Water' error on my Igloo ice maker?

    Answer

    If your Igloo ice maker is displaying the "ADD WATER" alert even when there is water in the reservoir, follow these troubleshooting steps:

    • Check Water Levels: Ensure the water level is below the "MAX" fill line. If the water level is too high, it can interfere with the sensors.
    • Clean the Sensors: Mineral buildup on the water sensors can cause false readings. Wipe the interior of the water reservoir and the sensors with a soft cloth and a mild vinegar solution.
    • Reset the Unit: Press the OFF button, unplug the unit for at least 3 minutes to allow the refrigerant to settle, then plug it back in and press ON.
    • Check for Clogs: If the water is not being pumped into the ice-making tray, the pump may be clogged. Ensure the unit is clean and free of debris.
    • Level the Unit: Ensure the ice maker is on a flat, stable surface. An uneven unit can prevent water from reaching the sensors correctly.

    If the "Add Water" light persists after these steps, the water pump may be malfunctioning or the sensor may be faulty, and you should contact Igloo customer service for further assistance.

    Note: Always wait at least 3 minutes before restarting the machine if it has been turned off to protect the compressor.

    For more details, you can refer to the Igloo Ice Maker Manual.

    Disclosure: If your specific model differs from the standard portable unit, some steps may vary slightly.

  35. Does igloo ice maker have to have an ice basket to function properly. If so, where can I get a New one ?? I lost original during our last move to another apartment.

    Denon Wolff asks Does igloo ice maker have to have an ice basket to function properly. If so, where can I get a New one ?? I lost original during our last move to another apartment.
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Does the Igloo ice maker require an ice basket to function, and where can I buy a replacement?

    Answer

    Yes, the ice basket is necessary for the Igloo ice maker to function properly. The unit uses a temperature sensor located above the basket to detect when it is full. Without the basket, the ice will fall directly into the water reservoir, and the sensor may not correctly trigger the "ICE FULL" indicator, potentially causing the machine to malfunction or overflow.

    To obtain a replacement ice basket, you can try the following:

    • Contact Igloo Customer Service: You can reach out to Igloo directly for official replacement parts. Note that some units are manufactured by licensees, so you may need to check the specific contact information on your unit's label.
    • Online Retailers: Search for "Igloo ice maker replacement basket" on sites like Amazon, eBay, or specialized appliance part websites.
    • Third-Party Parts: Many portable ice makers use similar dimensions; ensure you match the basket size to your specific model if purchasing a generic replacement.

    When you get a new basket, ensure the temperature sensor is positioned above it so the machine can accurately detect when the ice reaches maximum capacity.

  36. Not enough water is being pumped to the ice maker to make proper sized ice bullets.

    Kathleen McCannon asks Not enough water is being pumped to the ice maker to make proper sized ice bullets.
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why is my Igloo ice maker not pumping enough water to make full-sized ice bullets?

    Answer

    If your Igloo ice maker is not pumping enough water to produce proper-sized ice bullets, there are several potential causes and solutions to check:

    • Check Water Levels: Ensure the water reservoir is filled to the "MAX" fill line. If the water level is too low, the pump may struggle to move enough water to the ice-making tray.
    • Inspect for Clogs: The water pump or the internal tubing may be clogged with mineral deposits or debris. It is recommended to clean the unit thoroughly. You can run a cleaning cycle using a mixture of mild detergent and warm water, or a diluted vinegar solution to dissolve scale buildup.
    • Ensure the Unit is Level: The ice maker must be placed on a flat, stable surface. If the unit is tilted, water may not flow correctly into the ice-making box.
    • Check the Pump Function: If the "Add Water" light is flashing even when the reservoir is full, the pump may be malfunctioning or blocked. Try turning the unit off, waiting 10 minutes, and restarting it to reset the system.
    • Ambient Temperature: Note that the first few cycles of ice making often produce smaller cubes as the machine reaches its optimal operating temperature. If the room is very warm, it may also affect ice size.

    If the pump continues to fail after cleaning and leveling, the pump itself may be defective and require professional service or replacement.

    Note: Always wait at least 3 minutes before restarting the compressor if it has been shut off to allow the refrigerant to settle.", "contextual_details_en": "Troubleshooting an issue where insufficient water is being pumped into the ice-making tray, resulting in small or malformed ice bullets.

"ICE FULL" LED indicator OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This portable icemaker uses a fully automatic control system, with an advanced microcomputer for easy and convenient ice making. Making ice is simple and fast. Just add water, plug into an outlet, and press the ON button. You can select one of the two ice cube sizes with the touch of a button. When first turning on the unit or during icemaking cycles, the compressor will stay idle for 3 minutes, while energizing. There are warning indicators that alert you to fill water when the reservoir is empty and to remove ice when the storage basket is full. The icemaker also has built-in safeguards that can limit accidental damage, automatically shutting down the system when necessary. Pre-Operating Instructions Please read carefully. 1. The incline angle of the icemaker cabinet should not exceed 45° during transportation or use. Do not turn the icemaker upside down. Doing so could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to operate incorrectly. When the icemaker is moved or transported, please allow time for the fluids in the compressor to settle. Before using the icemaker for the first time, please wait 2 hours after the unit has been leveled and positioned in its proper place. 2. Please ensure the icemaker is level and on a stable table or platform to avoid malfunction. 3. The machine must be placed on a dry and level surface with sufficient ventilation, far from heat sources such as ovens, heaters and corrosive gases. Leave an 8-inch clearance on all sides of the icemaker for proper ventilation. 4. Do not fill the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the icemaker. It is best to fill the water reservoir with water of room temperature or lower. Operating Instructions 1. Open the top cover, take out the ice storage basket and fill the water reservoir with drinkable (tap, purified or bottled) 2.3 quarts water to the level mark and replace the ice storage basket. Make sure that the water level does not reach above the level mark or thebottom of the ice storage basket. Close the top cover. Note: During the operation process, if the level of water in the water reservoir becomes too low, the machine will automatically stop operating and the "Add Water" indicator will display on the LED. 2. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet. Push the ON / OFF button on the control panel to turn on the machine.3. Select the desired size of ice cube by pressing the S or L ice selector button. S = Small ice cubes (Approx. 7 minutes)L = Large ice cubes (Approx. 12 minutes) The icemaker will start making ice soon after. The next cycle of 9 ice cubes is complete (based on water temperature, ambient room temperature and selected ice cube size). Note: To stop the operation, press the ON/OFF button. Operating Process 1. Water is pumped from the water storage tank to the water box, which may take up to 1 minute. 2. The icemaking cycle begins when the evaporator rods are dipped into the water box. You will hear the compressor working. 3. It will take approximately 5-13 minutes for each icemaking cycle, depending on the size selected. The larger the size, the more time is needed to make the ice. After the cycle is finished, the water box will tilt forward and the remaining water will flow back into the water storage tank. The evaporator rods will then release the ice cubes. Note: If the room ambient temperature is below 60° F, then small ice cube sizes are suggested to prevent ice cubes from fusing together. 4. Approximately 60 seconds later, the water box will tilt backwards and the ice pusher will push the ice into the ice storage basket. After the water box flips back to its original position, the next icemaking cycle will begin. 5. When the maximum capacity of ice cubes is collected and the ice reaches the temperature sensor, the icemaker will automatically stop operating. The “ICE FULL” LED indicator will light up. If more ice is needed, remove the ice from the ice storage basket; then replace the basket into the machine, making sure that the basket is placed back to its original position. Note: When replacing the basket, ensure that the temperature sensor is above the basket so that the machine operates properly. 6. To continue making ice, check that there is water in the water storage tank. If there is no water in the water storage tank, then no water will be pumped into the water box, and the operation will stop. The "Add Water" LED display will light up. Press the “OFF” button. Fill the water storage tank with water, and then press the “ON” button for the icemaker to begin operating again. Allow the refrigerant inside the compressor at least 3 minutes to settle beforerestarting. 7. If the compressor stops for any reason such as water shortage, too much ice, power off, etc., do not restart the machine right away. Wait at least 3 minutes before restarting the machine. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before using your icemaker, it is strongly recommended that you clean the icemaker thoroughly. Be sure to clean the icemaker regularly. 1. When cleaning, please make sure the power has been turned off and the plug is disconnected from the outlet. When plugging or unplugging the unit from the outlet, pull directly on the plug. Never pull on the power cord. 2. Remove the ice storage basket. 3. Drain remaining water from unit. Remove the cap, then therubber plug from the spout. When assembling back together,the rubber plug must be inserted first into the spout, and thencapped. Otherwise, the icemaker will leak. 4. Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water and wipe with a softtowel or sponge. Solvents, detergents and abrasives must never be used for cleaning. 5. Wipe the inner parts, such as the ice storage basket, water reservoir, water box, ice pusher, and evaporator rods. 6. The outside of the icemaker should be cleaned regularly with a mild detergent solution, warm water, and a soft cloth. 7. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth. 8. To begin making ice once the unit has been cleaned, pour clean water into the water reservoir and fill up to the level line follow operating instructions. Never tilt or place the icemaker on its side, otherwise you must wait 10 hours for compressor coolant to settle. 9. To ensure the cleanliness of the ice cubes, the water in the water storage tank should be replaced every 24 hours. 10. When the machine is not in use or will not be used for an extended period of time, unscrew the drain cap, then remove the rubber plug behind the unit to empty the remaining water in the water reservoir completely.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why does my Igloo ice maker say 'ice full' when it is empty?

    Answer

    If your Igloo ice maker is showing the "ICE FULL" indicator when the basket is empty, it is likely a sensor issue. Here are the steps to troubleshoot this:

    • Check the Temperature Sensor: The machine stops when ice reaches the temperature sensor. Ensure the sensor is positioned correctly above the basket and is not being blocked or touched by the basket itself.
    • Clean the Sensor: Sometimes frost or debris can build up on the sensor, causing a false reading. Gently wipe the sensor area with a soft cloth.
    • Check for Obstructions: Ensure the ice pusher is moving freely and not stuck in a position that might be triggering the sensor.
    • Ambient Temperature: If the room is very cold (below 60°F), the sensor may malfunction. Try moving the unit to a warmer location.
    • Reset the Unit: Unplug the machine for at least 10 minutes to allow the microcomputer to reset, then restart.

    If the problem persists after these steps, the internal sensor or the microcomputer may be defective, and you should contact Igloo customer service for further assistance.

    Note: Always ensure the unit is level and has at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation, as overheating can also cause erratic behavior.

    Question

    Why has my Igloo ice maker stopped working after cleaning and resetting, and how can I contact customer support?

    Answer

    If your Igloo ice maker has stopped working despite cleaning and resetting, there are a few additional troubleshooting steps you can try:

    • Check the Power Light: If the power light is flashing, it often indicates that ice is stuck or the basket is full. Ensure the basket is empty and the sensor is clear.
    • Wait for the Compressor: If the unit was recently moved or stopped for any reason (water shortage, power off), wait at least 3 minutes before restarting to allow the refrigerant to settle.
    • Check the Water Level: Ensure the water is filled exactly to the fill line. If the "Add Water" light is on, the machine will not operate.
    • Reset Cycle: Turn off the power, unplug the unit for 10 minutes, and then turn it back on.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, the manual suggests contacting your dealer or Igloo customer service for assistance. While a specific phone number is not provided in the manual text, you can visit www.iglooicemakers.com for official support and contact information. Note that many of these units carry a 90-day warranty.

    Please ensure the unit is on a level surface with at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation, as overheating can cause the system to shut down.

    Question

    Why is the power light flashing and the ice maker not starting?

    Answer

    A flashing power light on your Igloo ice maker typically indicates that the machine is in a standby mode or has encountered an issue that prevents it from starting. Here are the most common solutions:

    • Check for Stuck Ice: The light often flashes when ice is stuck or the ice basket is full. Empty the ice bucket and ensure no cubes are blocking the sensor or the pusher mechanism.
    • Water Level: Ensure the water reservoir is filled to the correct level. If the water is too low, the machine may not start.
    • Reset the Unit: Turn off the power, unplug the machine, and wait for at least 10 minutes. Plug it back in and press the ON/OFF button to restart.
    • Compressor Delay: Note that when first turning on the unit, the compressor may stay idle for about 3 minutes while energizing before ice production begins.
    • Leveling: Ensure the machine is on a flat, level surface. If it is tilted, the sensors may not function correctly.

    If the light continues to flash and the machine does not start after these steps, there may be a malfunction with the internal pump or sensors, and you should contact customer service.

    En español: La luz intermitente suele indicar que hay hielo atascado o que la canasta está llena. Vacíe la canasta y reinicie la máquina desenchufándola por 10 minutos.

    Note: If you have recently moved the unit, wait at least 2 hours for the refrigerant to settle before turning it on.
