What Goes Wrong With Ice Machines

Drain and drain pumpUndercounter machines drain melt water by gravity or with a pump. A clogged drain or a failed pump leads to leaks, overflow and shutdowns.
Controls and sensorsBin sensors, thermistors and the control board decide when to make ice and when the bin is full. A sensor fault can make a machine stop with an empty bin.
Water supply and valveA partly closed supply valve, a kinked line or a failed inlet valve leaves the machine short of water and making thin or no ice.

Signs Your Ice Machine Needs a Technician

  • Cloudy, soft or thin ice
  • Machine runs constantly but the bin stays low
  • Loud noises during harvest or from the pump
  • Ice stuck to the plate or grid in a sheet

Inside an Ice Machine Repair Visit

Scale and cleaningThe freezing plate or grid and the water system are inspected for scale. A cleaning or descaling cycle is run with the cleaner the manufacturer specifies.
Condenser and grilleThe condenser behind the front grille is cleaned, since built-in machines rely on front airflow to shed heat.
Drain and pumpThe drain line is checked for clogs and slope, and on pump models the pump is tested. Drain problems cause most undercounter leaks.

Questions to Ask a South San Jose Hills Repair Technician

  • Can you check the drain and drain pump as well as the ice-making side?
  • Do you work on my ice machine brand and type (undercounter, built-in, freestanding or countertop)?

Ice Machine Repair FAQs: South San Jose Hills, CA

Why is my undercounter ice maker not making ice?
The usual causes are a closed or restricted water supply, heavy scale on the freezing plate or water system, a drain or pump problem, a dirty condenser, a room that is too hot or too cold for the machine, or a failed control. A technician checks each in order.
Is a countertop ice maker worth repairing?
Some technicians work on countertop nugget ice makers; many do not, because the units are inexpensive compared with a service call. Ask when you call, and compare the quote with the price of a new unit.
Why is water coming from my ice machine?
Most leaks come from the drain: a clogged or kinked drain line, a failed drain pump or a drain that is not sloped correctly. Supply line connections are the next place to look.
Why does my ice machine make cloudy ice?
Clear-ice machines depend on clean water flowing evenly over the freezing surface. Scale, a dirty water system or low water flow can make ice cloudy or soft, so cleaning is usually the first step.
