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.

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.

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!

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
