Product review (5 stars): Works GREAT!!!
I needed a new ice machine. My MAX ICE unit was starting to leak by the gasket area. MOST HELPFUL HINT!!!! (I did not read anywhere.) PUT YOUR NEW UNIT IN THE FREEZER THE DAY BEFORE!!!I read all the reviews I could. Learned a lot. Took my time. The person that left the best notes, I read and re-read. Got everything ready. Went in without a problem. Started making ice almost right away. It has a temp. gauge inside that I read on another review and it has to get cool/cold before it starts making ice. If you are not sure about the water shut off valve, just go outside and turn the main valve off. Then run the faucet in the kitchen until it stops. This way you know it is off. I made the mistake of not knowing on another project, and turned the water shut off valve under the bathroom sink "too much". {it was a quarter turn unit}. I kept turning and turning. Finally, a leak. Had to replace it too. If you do not know where your shut off valve is, turn the water on in the kitchen sink, then go underneath, turn the shut off vavle until it stops running... Maybe a quarter turn unit.  :-}
