Question 1

Does it have auto shut off?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does have an on/off button.... however, be aware that after 10 days of use (5 weekends), icemaker completely died. I contacted seller and was told "sorry no returns after 30 days". Total cost $160.00 for 5 weekends of ice. OUCH !!

Question 2

Why does the ice full light come on when there is no ice

Accepted Answer

Something is blocking the sensor. Right above the tray, at the back, you'll see a small clear lens - one on the left and one on the right. If that light path is blocked then it'll think it's full of ice.

I've often found it's the ice tray that's not seated all the way to bottom and it's blocking the "beam."

It can also happen if there's a droplet of water on either lens.

After all that - it may be a bad sensor.

Question 3

Does the ice melt and recirculate to keep making ice?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will recirculate.  BUT. I do not like this ice maker. It's very noisy. Slow to make ice. I had 2 Igloos prior to this one. Both lasted only a little over 1 year, so I tried the Frigidaire... Bad choice. I gave it away and bought another Igloo. Worth it to have a great ice maker.. even if I toss it after a year. Next year, I'll buy my 4th Igloo after this one fails. Don't get the Frigidaire. You will be disappointed.

Question 4

Has anyone contacted them about prop 65 cancer warning on the box. just wondering why its on box. what chemicals. does water come in contact?

Accepted Answer

To Diambel:  You are absolutely correct! I was born and raised in CA (nearly 70 years ago) and these crazy laws to "protect" us never end... and I did have to have an Alpicool travel freezer shipped to my niece's house in Las Vegas, to pick up on my next visit, because it was for bidden to be shipped to CA...

Folks, don't worry about items with a Prop 65 Warning on them - it's just that everything that might be sold in CA requires it. Everything seems to cause cancer in CA...
