What Goes Wrong With Ice Machines

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.
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.

Ice Machine Problems Worth a Call

  • Ice stuck to the plate or grid in a sheet
  • Loud noises during harvest or from the pump
  • Machine runs constantly but the bin stays low
  • Water leaking under the machine or cabinet

How an Ice Machine Service Call Usually Goes in St. Marys

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.
Water supply and pressureThe technician confirms the supply valve is open and checks the line, the inlet screen and the inlet valve for restriction.

Is your ice maker inside a refrigerator rather than a separate machine? That is a different repair; see ice maker repair for St. Marys. Ice maker repair in St. Marys.

How to Choose a Freezer and Ice Maker Technician Near St. Marys

Ice Machine Repair FAQs: St. Marys, OH

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.
Why did my ice machine stop 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.
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.
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.
