Thanks for this I was planning on cleaning my ice makers, ( I have two of them). One point though. anything with compressor such as ice makers or refrigerators has oil in the compressor and should not be turned on right away after being upside down. You should wait a half hour to an hour for the oil to settle back down where it needs to be for the compressor to work so it won't be damaged.
Thank you so much for this video. Mine was making the LOUDEST sounds whenever pulling water to fill the tray and it was just hard water build up that needed cleaning. Such a helpful video!!
My ice maker arrived in the mail with a giant sticker that read "leave in the upright position for 24 hours before first use, so the coolant would be where it was supposed to be."
the plastic tube is prone to cracking and leaking. your method of pressing down on it will only accelerate the eventual cracking and leaking problem and then you'll need to take it apart again and replace the tube
After you turned the unit upside down did you give two days for everything to settle ?you turn it upside down, it can damage it if you don’t give it enough time to settle
