is there an adjustment for the melter to allow the ice sheet to break more completely when it falls?

I just installed this ice maker and am having the same issue. The ice comes off in a big block and does not separate without beating on it with the scoop. Still does not completely separate. We have reduced the temperature and it is a bit better. Going to reduce the temp a couple more degrees and see if that is the fix.

The electric valve that controls water level in ice maker put too much water in the tray which made it too hard to turn the prongs that dump the ice. I replaced that valve and that cured the problem.

You can adjust defrost duration + interval on the device. (Maybe a screwdriver is required... Very easy to do)

I've used mine a few dozen times and it hasn't formed ice crystals. No, you can't control the speed of the paddle.

The machine I have only makes snow ice that is very fine. It doesn't make chunky crushed ice. If it does do it I don't know how to make it do it.

I'm about positive it will break for that purpose. I'd recommend a good digital thermometer like a thermoworks.

I don't think so. I can't see where it does, there is just one temp knob on the whole unit. I haven't had any real ice accumulation at all though

Ours quit in the ice and sub-zero weather mid-winter. I let Amazon know and they sent a new one immediately, billing it to my account, then when the broken one was returned, they credited a full refund.

It will keep the ice melted around the de-icer if the temperature is cold enough. It automatically shuts off if it's too warm outside. If you set it on on ice, it will melt right down through the ice, but I put mine in before it froze. Do not chop a hole in the ice while there are fish inside. The percussion will injure the fish.

yes it can. I do it all the time. This way your drink does not get diluted when the ice melts.

according to the instruction manual, when the ice is about 1/8 inch thick. I've let mine go,longer with no apparent change in function.

well by the time the shipment got to me the icepack had melted. But that never seemed to alter the effectiveness. I suggest you use an icepack for as far, or as long as possible until you reach your destination :)

I'm pretty sure no....there is rubber on bottom that could possibly melt. I would call the company.

I suggest you purchase and install gutter/roof heater cables. I had an ice dam problem myself. I got the heater cables and it seems this has corrected the problem.

I think that would depend on a lot of factors like the thickness of the ice dam, amount of water behind it, and the outside temperature. In my case, I started to see water breaking through the dams in about an hour after I used it. Now I generally toss a couple of the pucks on the roof when I see the conditions that are likely to create ice dams. And they work to prevent the dams from forming a solid enough dam for water to collect behind it.

yes it will melt pre existing ice off any surface. I use it as a preventative.

No. Unfortunately you cannot adjust that, or the direction. I have the same issue and have to strategize when I do my back yard patio (I direct it at my house and then go back and direct that to the side of my house). I am trying to make some sort of "shield" out of hard rubber or plastic I can bolt to mine to modify it to direct the snow. The fact it only shoots straight up is the only big flaw with the unit I have encountered.
