uxcell DC 12V 300mA 1300ml Water Flow Self Priming Diaphragm Micro Water Pump for Coffee Machine, Water Dispenser

I have a Gevi nugget ice maker that worked well for about 3 weeks before it started giving me problems. Over time it got worse and worse until even after repeated cleanings and flushings it wouldn't make ice. Finally it started giving the 'needs water' error despite having a full reservoir.After another full tear down and thorough cleaning/flushing of all the tubing I discovered the pump couldn't even push water up into the top reservoir that supplies the ice forming section.I took a chance on this generic pump based on the other positive reviews for pump replacements in ice makers. The ice machine now works better than it did when new. Overall, it was an easy replacement. I snipped the existing wires at the motor and soldered them to the new one.

Mueller ice machine stated add water. Replacing the water pump corrected the issue. This product is close to a direct replacement for the water pump. Easy install with basic soldering and the ice machine is working again.

3/15/22Just a quick update. Pump has been working great up until now. It is starting to make a lot of noise, so I’m buying two more to have spares on hand. I am beginning to think that hard water has a lot to do with these pumps going bad.I got this little pump and was happy to have found it for my Opal nugget ice maker. Long story short is that this is a perfect-fit replacement for the original pump, primes very fast, and had my ice machine up and running very quickly.Of course at this point I cannot attest to the durability of this little guy, but hopefully it will last as long as the original.All in all this really saved my ice maker, because Opal (actually made by First Build) does not support that ice maker at all. When I diagnosed the pump as faulty, instead of having a replacement, saying send the unit in, take it to whatever repair, here is a new pump, etc. they instead offered me 15% off a new ice maker. So at a price of $499 that makes this $19 pump worth $425!So if you have this problem with an Opal ice maker, have some mechanical and soldering capabilities, then buy this pump knowing it works. Other applications I’m sure will work as well, but can’t verify that personally.Good luck!

After searching forums of why my ice maker would work intermittently as well as the “add water” light would come on when it was full, I came to understand the OEM pump was not priming like it should. A search on Amazon lead me to this unit which was reasonably priced and worth a shot to try to fix the machine.The unit arrived quickly and then sat on top of the machine for a month because I was too lazy to take it apart and kept dealing with turning on the clean cycle to prime it and then finally that didn’t work. So today I took the new pump out of the box and took the ice maker apart. The pump doesn’t come with any wires which is fine since you can use the old one. However the old wires are soldered on which meant I had to cut it, strip it and resolder on to the new pump. It wasn’t the prettiest of jobs but it worked. After cleaning the machine, putting it back together, filling it with water, I plugged it in and heard the beautiful sound of a pump at work. I could see the water start to trickle down and knew it was working. We finally have ice again.I can’t speak for the longevity of this pump being the first day of using it, but pleased with it so far and it saved the machine for now.

Like the small size and quiet operation. Very tiny connectors, micro dot redish orange marks positive connection. Works great for the price. Shipping takes a while.

Plug and play just removed my other one and soldered the wires on the new one .. 5 minutes or so and the ice maker was back in service.

I originally purchased this pump planning to install in a Thereye nugget ice maker that was exhibiting pump issues. Before I got around to replacing it, the Thereye unit main seal started to leak (around 1yr old). Thankfully, Thereye stood by their product and fully refunded my purchase price the extended warranty I had purchased did not apply since it was technically still under the manufacturers warranty (Amazon DID refund the extended warranty price as the refund was handled thru Amazon)At any rate, we replaced the ice maker with an identically looking GE Opal V1B ice maker. Within a period of 5 months, 3 GE units units failed due to pump issues. FYI, I am running RO water ONLY tested to a TDS o around 10ppm, so the failures are NOT due to water issues. All 3 GE units failed at around the 2 month mark. We do use the machine 7X24. The 1st two were replaced by Geek Squad and the 3rd, I decided to bite the bullet and install the new pump I had on hand as clearly a new unit was going to fail due to the same cheap pump. It is a bit of a PITA to get the back and top cover off the ice maker, but all in all, not an overly difficult repair. New pump is rated slightly higher output than the original which should allow it to fill the internal reservoir faster and cycle with less on time and less wear and tear. New pump is slightly quieter than original as well. I have ordered another of these new pumps to have a spare on hand just in case the life span on this new pump proves no longer than the original design.

So I was having the issue that my icemaker would run for a minute then display the "Add Water" error. What was confusing was that the water would still cascade down the back like normal. If I covered the pump inlet, there was decent suction. The old pump seemed to be working. I took a gamble and tried this pump anyway and it worked like a charm. I'm back to making glorious nugget ice. I will note that you do need some soldering skills to install this pump properly. There are just metal terminals with holes in the middle of them on the pump. You might get by inserting the wire through the terminals and twisting tightly, but the old pump was soldered in, so I thought that was the right thing to do. Some heat shrink tubing would also be a good idea.
