Here are some common issues and how to fix them:
The ice cubes are too small. This can be caused by using too little water. Make sure to fill the ice cube holders to the top with water before freezing.
The ice cubes are uneven. This can be caused by not freezing the ice cube holders on a level surface. Make sure to place the ice cube holders on a flat surface in the freezer so that the ice cubes freeze evenly.
The ice cubes are sticking to the ice cube holders. This can be caused by using too much oil or grease on the ice cube holders. Make sure to wash the ice cube holders thoroughly with soap and water before using them.
The ice cubes are melting too quickly. This can be caused by using the ice cubes in a warm environment. If you’re using the ice cubes in a drink, chill the drink first. You can also try freezing the ice cubes in a freezer-safe container before using them.
The ice cube holders are cracking. This can be caused by using too much force when removing the ice cubes. Make sure to twist the ice cube holders gently to remove the ice cubes. You can also try running the ice cube holders under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the ice cubes.
