Re: [portable icemaker

[Guest guest]

Oh yes.  i got my at Brandsmart.  It is a discount appliance store.  Sears

probably sells them too.  I got a water dehydrator from Sears years ago.  My

husband thought it was a lot of trouble and we drank a lot of water.  We use

bottled spring water now.  We don't trust our water but we cook in it.  We

live in a mobile home park and who knows when the lines were put in.  You have

to pour water in and then it makes icecubes.  We got it when my husband had his

knee worked on and needed ice for a little cooler to run ice water over his

knee.  We used it some and bought some ice from the gas station on the corner.

 

It worked really well until recently.  We ran water through a filter system and

then poured into the ice maker.  It isn't really big and fits on our counter. 

I haven't checked it yet since it stopped working.  It may need to be

cleaned.  We've had it a couple of years. My icemaker in refrigerator won't

work as the line doesn't put enough water in there.  I don't know if not enough

water pressure or if there is dust in the line.  The line runs under the house

and could be something got under there and bit it too.  Just don't know.
