Endless Dirt and Rust: Uncleanable!
While cleaning my icemaker, I could not find out why I kept getting rust and almost dirt like stuff running out. I opened it up and something is rusting in it. It is supposed to be Stainless steel, but this motor thing isnt. Also, the plastic is cracked around the motor key and was only held on by the ring. I cant even clean this rust off, it just keeps flaking. What good is it now to put back together, just to eat rust ice? There is no good frigidaire help, its not registerable and its been only 9 months! I took it back to Sams and they said "TOUGH, CALL THE MANUFACTURER, YOUR 90 DAYS IS UP". WOW. Ok, but how? If you bought one you should look up in the right and see if yours is a rust bucket too. Maybe it was an accidental part? I wish I could get help, but Frigidaire has no contactable/manufacturers warranty type ability. All I can do is leave a review. Other than this, the ice is good. I think I have a bad part.

Love/hate relationship...
I really love these ice makers when they aren't broken down! I've bought at least 6 of these, and they always fail within the return period or warranty period.... well, this one just had a flimsy plastic piece on the shovel brake off, and the whole thing is useless without it. Plan to return it next time I go to Sam's! Hopefully won't have an issue returning this time... most of the issues i've had with these are senseless. If better quality parts were used in manufacturing, instead of flimsy plastic, these could probably last a long time!

Bad buy
I received it and it worked for two days and compressor blew up I contacted company and after sending a video and filling out a lot of paper work and 3 months later I received a refurbished one! This one had a small crack on lid and hard water resido on bottom it works great but leaks horrible on the bottom!! I wrote company again and was going to have to do same thing again video and wait 3 months so now I just have a tray underneath a hose going into the sink to prevent water going everywhere! !

DO NOT BUY!! Broke after 4 months.
DO NOT BUY!! The machine worked great for about 4 months and then began to make loud noises when pumping water and eventually stopped working. I attempted to seek a warranty claim and after very poor response rate and over a month, I was told to ship the unit cross-country at my expense for them to examine the product.

Great ice, impossible to keep clean
It works well until it doesn't. I loved having an ice machine since my apartment fridge doesn't have one, but it is impossible to keep this clean for more than a month or two. After that, no matter what you do to clean it, you cannot get it completely clean. They added the self cleaning feature in the 2nd model I bought and that helps keep the nozzles clean, but there is a film that starts to build over all the parts you can't reach. It grosses me out and then I stop using it and it becomes a waste of money.

Worked for a year or more before motor issues
This is review is for the model # EFIC123-SS I believe i bought this before Christmas 2019 so its been a year but it could be 2 years, you know how these things go. Anyway we had been hearing this hellacious grinding coming from the ice maker on a rare occasion and it eventually quit. Lights would come on but it would do nothing. Did a little digging on the interwebs and got a hint it was the motor. Took the thing apart (8 screws total) and see picture for the nasty bits..... The water that sprays in is directly beside the assembly arm that is turned by the motor. As a result this water splashed into the motor arm, rusted out the motor arm, and seized it up. I sprayed it with WD-40 and scrapped off most of the rust and it actually is working again. I might order a replacement motor but this will clearly be an issue for as long as this unit works. I would strongly AVOID this unit, I will now try not to think about the rust in my ice cubes....

Fast, but outcome is lackluster
I love the cubes that come out, and its super fast, but this Ice Maker doesn't work for our lifestyle. The cubs arent cold enough when the ice is made, so they are already half melted by the time we transfer them to an ice bucket in the freezer. This leads to one massive solid ice block. I have read others reviews on other sites, that they have same issues. The standard solution they have is to put ice in a bag, and smash the bag when they need ice. At this point, I want to go back to using trays, but already have used for a week.
Hello SlothMama, we appreciate your feedback and would like to apologize for your recent experience with the Frigidaire Stainless-Steel 26-lb. Bullet-Shaped Ice Maker. We pride ourselves on our high-quality standards and regret that our product did not live up to your expectations. You are correct, the ice storage area is not refrigerated. It is intended that ice produced be periodically transferred to zipperlock bags for storage in a conventional freezer.To make firmer/larger/drier ice, use colder water. Tip, let the first couple of batches of ice fall into the water reservoir to chill the water.
Buyer Beware - DO NOT BUY!!
I bought this product less than 6 months ago. It recently stopped working. I followed all of the Curtis recommendations. It still does not work. After frustration set in, and the Curtis representatives hanging up on me several times, they told me that my name has been flagged in their system and they will no longer help me with my defective product. So now I have a $100 paper weight.

Do NOT waste your time & $$$
Ice machine was good in the beginning..but there's no good way to clean the ice tray. One side of the tray kept on turning BLACK. I cleaned this more often, but last night, I had to give up. There was a trail of black water leading to the water well.....and shocking black pieces of rubbish was in the water! Please don't buy this!
