Common Commercial And Residential Ice Maker Issues:
Change in Shape or Size of Ice
Always pay attention to the size and shape of the ice your industrial ice machine maker dispenses. Bigger ice cubes could mean water is leaking into the machine. You can try tightening the inlet valve, but call an ice maker repair company if the problem continues. Smaller ice, on the other hand, means reduced water flow. Try cleaning the water filter and examining your water supply for any leaks.
Slower Ice Production
When your machine takes longer to produce ice, it might mean the room is too warm or a damaged scale on the evaporator or plate, which prevents ice from falling into the bin.
No Ice Production
The first issue that could cause this is hot water entering the line, which takes too long to freeze. It could also be that the freeze cycle timer trips or a pressure difference triggered the ice machine to fail.
Strange Noises
This could be from a faulty compressor or temperature control unit. Water could also be getting onto the defroster heater, and it may need ice machine services to repair.
Frozen Water
If the water freezes before reaching the ice maker mold, the machine temperature might be too low. Try regulating your thermostat, but contact an ice machine repair company if it does not work.
Smelly cubes
While this problem is rare, it might indicate that your filter is dirty and needs cleaning or replacement.
