Icemaker Repair

The Ice Machine is Noisy

At first, a noisy ice machine doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it doesn’t take very long before it really starts to grate on the nerves of all your employees. More importantly, a unit that has suddenly started making noises often indicates a hidden problem. Explanations for the noise includes:

  • A loose or broken internal part
  • The compressor is working too hard and possible approaching the point of breaking down
  • There’s a small blockage inside the machine that vibrates each time the appliance kicks on

It Takes Forever to Make Enough Ice

There’s a few different reasons that the this can happen. The most common reason is that the machine has grown too warm. If turning the temperature down doesn’t correct the issue, it’s time to look at the thermostat which may be mal-functioning. We’ll also look at the rest of the parts and make sure that the overheating isn’t caused by a part that’s starting to wear out


The Ice Machine has Started Using a Lot of Energy

A spike in your utility bill is sometimes the only warning sign that there’s something wrong with your commercial ice maker. Reasons include:

  • Something is making the unit work too hard
  • The unit isn’t cool enough
  • There’s a blockage 
  • One of the internal components isn’t working properly


Smelly Ice

The issue that causes business owners the most panic is finding out that they are suddenly the victim of what the industry refers to as Stinky Ice Syndrome. When this happens, it’s likely that you don’t dare serve the ice because you’re worried that your customers will think there’s something wrong with your establishment. 

Luckily, stinky ice syndrome is a correctable problem.

The reason the ice produced by your ice maker smells isn’t a mechanical problem, but actually an issue with bacteria/fungus that’s taken up residence within the unit. The reason the bacteria grows is because the ice machine isn’t getting wiped down properly, which creates the perfect growing environment. Once the bacteria takes up residence, it moves into the tubes, waterlines, and pipes that help transport the ice. 

Once this problem develops, the best way to correct it is to remove all the dirty components and thoroughly clean the unit before putting it together again. Using filtered water helps prevent you from experiencing another bout of stinky ice syndrome as does using the proper detergent to through clean the machine every few days.
