Product review (2 stars): Quality of Gear Mechanism is Poor
I have own two Koldfront ice makers. Both of them failed with the same problem: The paddle that sweeps the ice into the bin, jammed because of what seemed to be plastic gear had stripped. If you helped it move, it wold complete the cycle, but if not it would fault out. The first time it happened I called their customer support and they sent me a new one. The second time it happened I decided to try another brand. It did make good ice quickly until it failed. Both units fail within a couple of months each.
