Why Ice Machines Slow Down or Stop

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.
Scale and cleaningMinerals in the water coat the freezing plate or grid and the water system, which slows ice production and can stop harvest. Many slow-machine calls start with a cleaning cycle.
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.

When to Call About an Undercounter Ice Maker

  • Blinking light or error code
  • Loud noises during harvest or from the pump
  • Cloudy, soft or thin ice
  • No ice, or far less ice than it used to make

What an Ice Machine Technician Checks

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.
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.
ControlsCodes and blinking lights are read and the control is tested once the water, drain and airflow have been ruled out.

Ice Machine Repair FAQs: Richton Park, IL

How much does ice machine repair cost in Richton Park?
Most companies charge a service call or diagnostic fee that is often applied to the repair if you go ahead. Cleaning and descaling, a water valve, a drain pump or a control are common jobs. Our ice maker repair cost guide lists published ranges.
Why is my undercounter ice maker leaking?
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.
Do you repair countertop nugget ice makers?
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.
Does my ice maker need descaling?
Manufacturers publish a cleaning interval in the use and care guide, and hard water shortens it. Scale slows ice production and can stop a machine entirely, so a cleaning cycle is often the first step on a slow machine.
