If you push the ice towards the display window & gently push the bucket back in, you can get it to completely fill the bucket. In other words you’re moving it from the sensor. I purchased a distiller to use the recommended distilled water. My machine stays clean.
@JustADad. Thanks for your very thorough review. I've been researching nugget ice makers, and finally decided on this one. From your reviews on coffee makers to ice makers and everything in between, Keep up the GREAT work !
It's not built to allow for that, which is a shame. However, see the auto fill kits online and it's probably doable with some creativity. Once the ice drawer is full, the machine hybernates, so there's no risk of it making more ice than it can hold. The auto fill kits have a float valve that just adds water to a reservoir as needed. There may be someone on YT who's tried an auto fill kit with these ice makers. Best of luck.
Just got mine today. Cleaned it with a tablespoon of clorox mixed with water and then flushed it 4 times. Washed the tub. Not using the side container yet. Filled water to the water line. Started making ice immediately, then after maybe 5-10 minutes it start dripping/leaking water into the tub with ice in it. Is it suppose to do this? Will it do this everytime? Anyone else have this issue? Did I get a lemon? I'd appreciate any comments of what it could be and what resolved it. Thank you. Scott
