My roommate fucked up my ice machine

This is a bit long im sorry-

I bought myself the cosco mini ice machine a while ago and its been great. Love it, been chewing ice for a year or two.My roommate hasnt been the best about it... im the one who cleans it, refills it, etc. Which is fine. But he takes my ice, never refills it and leaves me with no ice during cravings often. Its annoying but i can deal with it.

But ive been away for the last week. Ive been looking forward to my ice. I come back, make myself a glass, everything's fine. I go and put away my things, empty my luggage. I come back, refull my glass. Hes super happy to tell me he refilled it when i was gone

That asshole filled it with lemonade.

It had the time to make like 3 batches of ice cubes (which is like 15) and gets mad at me for getting mad at me... Ive cleaned it 4 times, ran it more cycles than i can count. It still tastes like lemonade. And one thing about me is i cant stand lemonade, even the smell makes me gag...

Anyone know how to get rid of the taste? Or should i get a new one on him? I dont know what to do... im tired, exhausted from driving so much...

TLDR: my idiot roommate filled my ice machine with the one drink i cant stand, i need tips on how to clean it properly.

Will this ice make me sick or nah?...

I normally get 2 XL cups of crushed ice from Circle K. When they are out of that I use their follet ice machine instead. Did that tonight, but when I got home I realized there's a bit of musty smell to the ice 😒 Never had that happen before. Kinda feel like I shouldnt eat it, I dont want to get sick. Buuuut, my AC is broken and it got up to 102 today so the house is still really hot.

Ice was gonna get me thru the night but I only have stank ass ice now and I cant go anywhere to get some somewhere else tonight. Should I say F it and eat the ice or not eat it and just use it in my little air cooler 🙄🫠 The ice addiction is REAL but summer adds even more reason to be an Ice Head lol

PS: Yes, I am aware that I should get an ice machine. That does not help me in this moment of addiction, sadness, and heat tho. 🥲

Fixing the GE Opal 2 by replacing the motherboard

Hi all,

I've had my fair share of issues with my GE opal screaming and squealing
After a long time of experimenting, I've come to the conclusion that the logic on GE's board is inherently flawed.

It doesnt seem to adequately detect the motor being stressed.

So, well, I set out to replace it.

I have a prototype mostly ready. Its making ice, watching the motor current, and managing the pump properly.

I also additionally challenged myself to use all the original connectors.

No wire snipping, no soldering.

The idea is down the line perhaps sell a drop in PCB that will just work out of the box

I've attached the schematic, and here is the github repo for anyone interested.

It has a few things in it, I mapped out all the piping and water flow, some reverse engineering, and the code for my prototype is in /firmware

https://github.com/SomeAspy/GE-Opal-2-fixes

Curious if people would actually be interested in buying a board should it ever make it to that stage
