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.

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.

I bought this to replace the pump on my Opal ice maker that died. This pump initially works well, but tends to fail after 3-6 months. I'm on my third or fourth pump now. I wish I could find a high quality pump replacement that would last much longer.

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.
