My ice maker was totally locked up with calcium build up, to the point that the pump would barely work for just a few seconds and then stop. I had to keep resetting the machine over and over until I was finally able to get the mixture up into the mechanisms, and then I let it sit about an hour or so. After that I ran the ice maker through multiple cycles. The first few cycles the pump motor would squeal, but pretty soon it was running like a champ. I thought I'd have to toss the ice maker, but no."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is my second order of the Essential Value ice machine cleaner and descaler. I have an Igloo and a COSTWAY machine. Neither are very big. I mix a solution of 2 ozs. To 1 qt of water and run the machine. After I throw all that ice away, I put clean water in the machine and run it through several ice making cycles. Then wipe in interior down with a clean cloth. Before I found this product I used solution of vinegar and water. A major job to clean the little deposits from the water collecting on the inside. This ice machine cleaner makes this job so much easier. The inside if the ice maker is slick and shiny and ready to make ice in half the time. I will reorder again in the near future.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Easy to use. Just pour in and turn on the cleaning cycle. Seems to descale well and we have hard water.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'You can clean your ice maker 4 times with each bottle, so a six pack of it will go a long ways. We had an older Opal ice maker that was getting to be pretty slow making ice. Put this stuff (1/4 cup per gallon of water) in it and ran the clean cycle six times now t works great.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My ice machine was starting to have a mildew smell. I'd cleaned before with vinegar and a scrub brush, but that was a PITA. I decided to give this a try since if it didn't work I'd just have to go back to the vinegar and brush again. I followed the dilution scale and ran my machine for a few hours, dumped out the ice basket and then proceeded to dry out the inside. I gave it the smell test and presto, no mildew smell. I would gladly recommend this for the OTC ice machine."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I’ve had my opal for over a year and started to only make 1/2 amount the ice it was suppose to make. First tried the bleach cleaning, then also tried soaking vinegar for 24 hours but no luck. Used this solution and unit works/makes ice perfectly again.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I used this for my countertop ice machine. It worked well. Would buy again. Just so you have an idea, the ice machine sat in my garage for 4 years. I decided to use it again and noticed the inside was dried up and had lots of calcification. I mixed the solution the way the bottle suggested and let it set for hours. Poured solution through all the nukes and cranny’s. Cleared out what I could with a sink brush a few times breaking the yuk down. Checked it occasionally. I also scrubbed the inside with a T-shirt not to scratch it up. I ran the machine with clean water many times so it would push out anything that had been dry in it for those years. It took many hrs but when I got it all done I had a new ice maker. So glad I ran into this product. It was worth not buying another machine.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "It has worked wonderfully on the hard water build up! Since it hasn't been cleaned in over a year, I ran it through two clean cycles."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was seconds away from throwing away my ice maker. 2 years old and it basically had stopped working all together. I used this stuff and the ice maker is like brand new. I used a 3rd of the bottle and filled the water up to the max fill line in the ice maker (countertop Frigidaire). I let the entire amount run through the machine then I did it again with just plain filtered water. Presto! New machine.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I had an ice maker bucket that probably hadn't been cleaned since the fridge was bought 7+ years ago.\nIt had a thick layer of lime scale.\n\nThis stuff was so amazing. I put it in a tub of water and left to soak for 40 minutes.\nWhen I pulled it out it didn't even need scrubbing to get the scale off. It was like a brand new ice bucket."}]
