If your icemaker in your fridge stops working, check the freezer
temperature. Mine stopped working, and after googling and researching
possible causes, I came across a tip that said the freezer temp had to
be less than 17F for the icemaker to work. I checked the temp. It was
21-22 degrees, so I turned the setting a notch colder. Soon the temp
was down to about 8F, and damn if the thing didn't start working. By
this morning it had filled half the container.

Nope. The fridge owner's manual probably went with the folks who
bought the fridge.

Besides, the icemaker is an add-on.

Do you find it absolutely necessary to be a little smart ass? Harry
would probably still love you if you just acted normally. You proved
you could do it with your post about your rat problem.

I have a Sub-Zero fridge and the freezer stays at -2, about the
coldest at which ice cream is soft enough to dish up. The nicest
feature of the box is that it is made of high grade stainless, and
magnets won't stick to it.

Is there a reason to keep it set so low? Seems like it would just be a
waste of electricity and,

The problem with stainless is that it is hard to keep clean and shows
fingerprints easily. We bought a new fridge a while back and opted
for the "satina" finish, which looks like stainless but without all
the issues. And it is magnetic... another plus!

Stuff will keep twice as long at 0 as at 10. Basic law of chemical
reactions and temperature. Ice cream lasts much better, the growth of
the ice crystals is slower. As for wasted juice, there are separate
refrigeration systems for the freezer and the fridge, which helps
some. Theoretically, zero will take a sixth more juice than ten,
assuming a 70 degree room. If you want your stuff to keep for a long
time -30 is worthwhile.

The name of the manufacturer is Sub-Zero and it is by far the best.
The name should tell you something.

There is magnetic stainless. Diaper pins are made from it, it is good
enough for that. It isn't as corrosion resistant, something to
remember when you buy hose clamps for the boat. Take a magnet when you
shop. Magnetic is a plus only if you want the box to look like the
inside of a wastebasket
