How do you make watermelon ice cubes? I had some at a friend and they were really tasty.

Hello friend, thank you for your post!

I understand that you are receiving crushed ice even when you request cubed ice. It could be an issue within your control panel or solenoid. Since it could be any one of these under lying issues I would recommend having a technician come out to properly diagnose your appliance. Hope this is helpful. -Matt

How about watermelon? Either you can cut it up in advance and store in a Tupperware with ice packs to keep it cold or you can take a whole melon with you and a sharp knife. Kids and adults always enjoy watermelon at a picnic.

Flavored ice cubes are a great way of jazzing up a drink and cooling it down without watering down the flavor in the way that regular ice cubes would. You can make fruit cubes or vanilla cubes and really add another dimension to your drinks.

Remove the ice bin and throw out the ice. Run water through the ice bin to clear out the frozen ice in the bottom. Dry the bin really well. Re-install the bin and start over.

Things You'll Need:

• Fruit
• Blender
• Vodka
• Lemon juice
• Sugar, honey or agave nectar
• Ice cream maker or freezer

1. Choose your fruit or even blend more than one kind of fruit. As a general rule, it is best to use juicy, pulpy fruit, such as watermelon, mango or strawberries; however, you can add a splash of orange juice or even throw in banana for extra cream. Blend your selected fruits well in a blender.
   
2. For every 2 or 3 cups of blended fruit, add 1 Tbsp. of vodka and 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice. If you are serving sorbet to children or cannot consume even these small amounts of vodka, simply replace with lemon juice; however, know that you will not be able to taste or feel the effects of vodka in your finished product.
   
3. Blend sugar into the mix; however, add just a spoonful at a time, tasting until you reach your desired level of sweetness. As an alternative to sugar, you can use honey or even agave nectar.
   
4. Place your mixed sorbet in an ice cream maker to freeze for the creamiest results. If you do not have an ice cream maker, simply place your sorbet in the freezer for a few hours; however, sorbet will be a bit harder in texture but just as tasty if frozen in the freezer.
   

If you prefer ONLY cubes , remove the ice bin and 1 or 2 screws hold the long rod attached to the bin . Without this rod , you'll only get cubes . With the bin removed , the square hole where the rod inserts in the rear freezer wall , you'll see a square , white , plastic "gate" . Asolenoid with a plunger , raises this gate for cubed ice and keeps it lowerer for crushed ice . Usually this "gate" plunger , rusts , thereby replaceing the solenoid and plunger would have to be done . Without the rod on the bin , the inner flap would open automatically , dispensing cubed ice .

No two player, unfortunately. And Mindy will eventually give Patrick a throwing move. Once you get it, walk up to the watermelon and click R to pick it up and R to throw it. Once the move is upgraded, tap R to throw it, but hold down R to give it some extra distance.

I have a friend who has a kenmore coldspot Model# 7028999 Serial # EJ5040321 and it won't make ice there is water to the coldspot from the angle stop. A new pump was acquired and installled, but no water reaches the ice cube tray area. When ewater is poured into the ice cube tray area by hand, the ice cubes are made and the machine dumps them into the ice holder. What is the reason for no water from the angle stop to the ice tray? could there be an electric switch in addition to the pump device? Bob 512-762-4585

First pull out the ice bucket and close the door.  Set for cubed ice.  Press the button for ice to come out and listen for a loud clunk noise.  That is the sound of the solenoid.  You can open the door, hold the light switch and press the button and watch for the solenoid moving up and down.  Solenoid is at the back of the freezer in a little square opening where the rod on the ice bucket goes into.  If that solenoid is moving ok then put the bucket back in while the solenoid is in the down position and cubes should work.  If solenoid is not working then it will need to be replaced.  Let me know what you find.
