A:Answer Hi KOKO - Thanks for reaching out to us and for considering Model # GZS22IYNFS. We certainly appreciate your loyalty. We are sorry to hear your current Model # PYE22PSHJSS leaks daily. This is not considering normal and a technician is required for an accurate diagnosis. You should not expect this issue with your new model. Rest assured anytime we hear issues encountered with the use of an appliance, they are addressed. Also, we provide a warranty with all our appliances and consider issues beyond that period on a case-by-case basis. The icemaker will make approximately 4.5 lbs or 130 cubes per day. The bucket will hold approximately 8 lbs. of ice. Ice production can be increased by decreasing the freezer temperature to -2F. Ice production is dependent on freezer temperatures, which are affected by the temperature control settings, door openings, and food load. More food in the freezer will keep the temperatures more stable which will help the icemaker perform more efficiently. The frozen packages act as insulators to keep the cold air in. We recommend that the freezer be kept three-fourths full for optimal operation. We're glad to have you in the family. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue
