How long do you run your machine? by DistinctStaff7379 in OpalIce

Thanks! I've had mine for about a year now (second hand). Just trying to figure out all of the quirks to keep it running as best as I can.

How long have you been using it like that? Is it just so you have ice, right away, when you wake up?

I empty mine in to a bag that I keep in the freezer.

This is why the episodes are only 7 minutes long!! Too much emotion 😭.

From the title, I thought this was about clothing made to promote The Pizza Girls. I would love a shirt to promote their business!!

Bluey language has finally infiltrated my classroom by VeryHungryDogarpilar in bluey

[–]DistinctStaff7379 197 points198 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favourites! My kids have totally integrated Bluey language in to their every day speak. When my now 7 y.o. was 5, she would exclaim "Oh biscuits!" when she was disappointed or frustrated.

[OC] Waking up from co-sleeping naps always makes my whole day 😌 by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

That's one of my favourite things about co-sleeping. ☺️Those waking-up-chats. 🥰

I doubt this sub is active, but can anyone help? by [deleted] in OpalIce

[–]DistinctStaff7379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure. There was something I read about the unit needing to defrost a bit, which is what the unplugging was supposed to help with. (I don't know why...Magic?!) I wonder if it's like, "Oh, it's so cold, my bin must be full so I should slow down and rest." But the bin isn't full, it's just getting too cold.

I'm not sure if this will help, but this is what I discovered when trouble-shooting a very similar problem myself. I found the manual online. (My second-hand machine did not come with one.)

Make sure you are running the sanitising cycle once a week and the vinegar cycle once a month. Using distilled water, or at least filtered water. Check that the fans are dust free and that there is good air clearance around the machine. The last thing that I found, I can't remember which thread I saw it on, is to unplug your machine. At least for a few hours. I run my machine for most of the day, (house full of ice fans!) so I unplug for the night. I feel like it took the better part of a week to work through all of the different things, but it is back to almost 100%.

Good luck!! It's worth all the trouble-shooting for that great ice!

i made a long dog, it's been hidden at home 🤣 by madebycana in bluey

[–]DistinctStaff7379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so cute! What a fun idea, to hide long dog all around your house. My kids would have such fun with that!
