Affresh Ice Machine Cleaner, Removes Hard Water & Mineral Buildup, 16 Fl Oz

Recommended by Kitchen Aid for my ice maker and works well.

Works as advertised!

This cleans our kitchen aide ice maker well.

I was hesitant at first to purchase this for my FirstBuild (GE) Opal Nugget Ice Maker 1.0 not knowing if it would be compatible with it. I no longer have any hesitation regarding using this with my nugget ice machine after my first cleaning using Affresh. I thought my machine was on it's last leg considering the reputation this ice machine has for reliability and maintenance. It was producing a few nuggets of ice before going into defrost mode or just shutting off with a flashing yellow ring. I tried cleaning it with vinegar per manufacturer recommendations with no change in ice production. I refused to pay $30 for the official Opal Ice Machine cleaner, then I found Affresh. I drained the machine, switched it to cleaning mode, filled it with the bottle of Affresh and then 32 ounces of tap water and ran the cleaning cycle. I ran the cleaning cycle approximately eight times which may be overkill but I didn't have much to lose at this point. After running the cleaner through, I drained the machine and rinsed it using the cleaning cycle approximately 4 times making sure to use fresh water each cycle and then refilled it with fresh water, and switched the machine to ice mode. My Opal Nugget Ice Machine is now making ice as fast if not faster than when it was new. It takes a lot to impress me, but this cleaner managed to do that. I highly recommend it for all the Opal ice machines. It's much cheaper than the official cleaning solution and much more effective and a lot faster than using vinegar to clean the machine (vinegar cleaning process takes approximately 18 hours to complete per manufacturer instructions). If you have an Opal Nugget Ice Machine that appears to be on it's last leg and isn't producing much ice look no further than Affresh ice machine cleaner as a first step to take when troubleshooting ice production issues. You gotta slightly modify the directions on the bottle but it's a very simple process. A couple other things to mention is to make sure you use distilled water in your machine if possible. It cuts down on how often you have to clean the machine. Also I have the first version of the Opal Ice Machine made by FirstBuild who is affiliated with GE, but I'm assuming it will work great with the GE labeled version and also the new GE Opal 2.0 Ice Maker as well.

Works great with my kitchen Aid under counter ice maker.

Does a great job. We have used it now for several years.

Thank you for my package for my mom your fixed in Ice machine!
