Ice Making Machine Care

The most important thing to remember:

ICE IS A FOOD PRODUCT - HYGIENE IS A MUST!

Good Practice

  • Clean the machine exterior daily
  • Check the quality of the ice daily
  • Clean front grill weekly
  • Clean and sanitise the machine interior monthly

Bad Practice

  • Never leave the bin door open
  • Never store anything other than ice in the bin
  • Dont use anything to force ice from the evaporator
  • Never switch off the machine other than when cleaning
Problem Cause Solution
Ice machine will not run Switched off, Breaker off, Fuse blown oe unplugged Restore power supply
  Bin thermostat incorrectly adjusted Adjust thermostat
Runs but no ice production No water to machine Restore water supply
  Evaporator thormostat incorrectly adjusted or faulty Adjust or replace thermostat
Long freeze cycle - low production Dirty condenser Clean condenser
  Water temperature too high Connect to cold water supply
  Refrigeration problem Service call required
Shallow, incomplete or white ice cubes Ice machine is dirty Clean and sanitise
  Water pressure incorrect Check correct pressure
  Air temperature too high around machine Vent area or move machine
  Evaporator thormostat incorrectly adjusted Adjust thermostat
Fails to start harvest cycle Evaporator thormostat incorrectly adjusted Adjust thermostat
Ice cubes do not release Ice machine is dirty Clean and sanitise
  Low ambient temperature around machine Move machine to warmer are

These are general guidelines that should apply to most machines and could save the cost of a callout if checked first. Most manufacturers will provide a troubleshooting guide particular to your model and many have an Faq section on theor website.
