Icemaker Tip
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. -- John H |

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. -- John H |

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. Casady |

Casady 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! |

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. Casady |
