Product review (3 stars): Major design flaw, careless assembly
This product has a pretty serious design flaw. I have seen other people mention leaking problems. Sure enough, mine was leaking instantly once I started it up... dripping from the right edge about half way back.

I tracked down the issue, and you can fix this if you are just a little creative.

What is comes down to is this: If you look into the lower tank (take out the ice bucket) you will see the drain where water is recycled back to the top to be used again for making ice. That drain has a washer *with almost no pressure applied to it.* In fact it is just a friction fit. Pretty dumb. This could be easily remedied by having a threaded back side and a plastic nut so the washer would compress a little. With all the returns they are dealing with it would be a much more cost-effective solution....but I digress.

Anyway, what I did was to slice a synthetic wine cork in half (long ways). Squeeze the cork into the little indentation at the bottom of the reservoir. This puts pressure against the washer but still allows water to move. If you try this, it is at your own risk. Certainly *do not* use a regular wine cork because you will certainly get cork into your water lines. A synthetic cork, sliced cleanly, should be fine, but again... your risk.

For now... the leak is solved.

On another note, the blue "Ice Full" light was not turning off for me (which means the unit will not make any ice). I investigated the plastic lever that should turn that light (and the ice process) on and off. On the right side of the lever there is a cylindrical housing that probably holds a metal slug or a magnet... something that completes a connection so the circuit board knows the ice bucket is full. Well, my housing was empty. I wrote the company in order to get that part, whatever it is (seems a lot easier than sending the whole unit back). In the meantime I jumped those pins on the circuit board (which of course voids the warranty and should NOT be attempted by most folks, so don't mess around unless you understand what you are doing).

So, my ice maker is now working (though I can't leave it unattended or it will jam up with ice cubes... not a big deal for me) and it DOES make clear ice, which is the whole reason I got this unit for my home bar. It baffles me that they are so careless in the design and assembly. I'm sure they are spending far more processing returns than they would if they solved these little issues.
