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

Replaced pump on GE Opal 2.0. Working great so far. No more "add water" error when water is present. Doesn't seem any louder than OE pump. Replacement was fairly simple with a soldering gun. Heated up old solder and pulled wires out of holes. Fed new wires through same holes and soldered in place. Indicators on bottom of motor match old motor so you know what wires go where. Several good Youtube videos on the topic if you have any questions.

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.

Works great

Perfect replacement at a great price for my GE Opal icemaker; however, the pump only lasted about a year and a half before the internal rubber flaps degraded enough to keep the pump from working adequately.

3/15/22 Just 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.

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.

Unfortunately this pump never worked in my Opal 2.0 ice maker. Size is correct, but I think I got a defective pump this time. It is past the return window and because of the seller’s Amazon settings I am not able to reach out to them directly. This last part is on me, I waited too long to do the repair. The ice maker itself is notorious for bad pumps, and since I did not purchase mine new I have to decide how many times I’m willing to replace the pump. I know for sure I will be looking for a different source in the future (and doing the repair as soon as the pump arrives).

With some minor modifications it fit my whirlpool water cooler/heater and works just as well as the original and very quiet.

I bought this to replace the water pump in my Keurig machine. A little bit of soldering and now my machine is fixed!

Needed this for my water dispenser. Used a zip tie to tighten the end that holds the hose and the pump works. Only issue I have is when the tank is empty it keeps running until the new bottle is attached but overall works

Smaller than original. Dimension Measurements would have been nice. Need to solder connection.

This is a very sturdy little pump. It just works well. I have tried many different micro pumps and others fail because of internal design issues. This pump has proved so reliable that I have bought two more. The thing to consider is that the pump motor does not shed heat easily especially at higher operating pressures. I have installed a fan from a computer to continuously cool the pump during operation. Providing a little airflow over the pump, cools it nicely and keeps it performing all day long.
