I bought one of the Luna ice makers about a year ago and it worked great for about 8 or 9 months and then it started not releasing the ice and freezing up. I was able to work around it by unplugging and letting the ice melt for awhile and it got worse. I called the company and explained and they said it was the compressor and they would replace it even though it was out of warranty. There are not that many companies that will stand behind their products, but these guys will.
