Industrial Ice Machine Common Troubleshooting Guide

Industrial size ice machine​ are not only applicable to industry, but also play an important role in business. The use scenarios include but are not limited to food processing, chemical industry cooling, and fishery transportation. However, during the use of ice machines, problems such as low ice making efficiency, ice-making failures, and reduced ice quality may occur, affecting production efficiency. So how to quickly solve and prevent common faults of ice machines? This guide will provide you with a practical troubleshooting solution for best industrial ice machine troubleshooting to help you quickly solve the problem.

Common Faults Of Industrial Size Ice machine​ And Troubleshooting Methods

ice maker machine

Ice Maker Does Not Make Ice

Reason: power connection failure, refrigerant leakage, electromagnetic valve not closed tightly, compressor failure
Repair method: Check power connection, water supply, if the compressor refrigerant leaks, repair the leak or replace the electromagnetic valve. Check the compressor operation status and replace the compressor yourself or ask a professional repairman
 

Ice Cubes Cannot Fall During Dehydration

Reason: Water temperature detector failure, control program cannot sense the water temperature and proceed to the next step, misjudgment occurs, or controller failure
Repair method: Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the water temperature probe (when the water temperature in the water tank is close to 0℃, unplug the three-core wire in the control box and test the resistance of the two wires on both sides). If the resistance is above 27K, it is judged that the controller is broken and should be replaced. If the resistance is lower than 27K, any one of the two wires must be disconnected and the resistance is adjusted to between 27K and 28K by connecting a resistor in series.
 

The Water Shortage Light Is On But Water Cannot Enter

Reason: water inlet pipe is broken, water pressure is insufficient and water cannot enter automatically, compressor failure, solenoid valve failure.
Repair method: First check the water inlet pipe to see if it is broken or blocked. If not, increase the water pressure and restart the industrial size ice machine to see if water can enter. If there is no problem, it is recommended to contact after-sales or ask a professional repairman to inspect and adjust.
 

Insufficient Ice Production

Reason: The ambient temperature is too high, the temperature control system is faulty, the evaporator is frosted, and the compressor efficiency is reduced.
Repair method:Check the installation location, improve ventilation conditions or set up insulation around the ice maker ice machines industrial​. Check the temperature control system to ensure that the parameters are normal and can be corrected if necessary. Clean and defrost the condenser and evaporation of the ice maker. Check the working condition of the compressor to see if it is damaged and whether there is any abnormal sound during operation. If there is a problem, contact after-sales or a professional repairman.

Ice Maker Is Too Noisy

Reason: The compressor and fan of the ice maker are aging or faulty, the condenser has poor heat dissipation effect, and the temperature is too high to affect the normal operation of the compressor and fan.
Repair method: Check the operation of the compressor and fan, and check whether there are foreign objects or main parts are loose. Clean the condenser to prevent dust from causing uneven heat dissipation and affecting the normal operation of the ice maker. If the noise problem still cannot be solved, it is recommended to contact after-sales or find a professional repairman to check and replace the fan and compressor

Ice Making Is Normal But Dehydration Is Difficult Or Not

Fault phenomenon: The two-way solenoid valve does not work or is stuck;
Repair method: After starting the ice maker machine, after ice cubes are generated on the ice maker, press and hold the selection key for 3 seconds to enter the forced deicing state, touch the solenoid valve with your hand, if there is no vibration, it means that the solenoid valve is not powered normally, check the control board and connection wires. If there is vibration, you can repeatedly de-ice several times to solve the problem of blockage of some solenoid valves. If there is still a problem, it means that the solenoid valve is damaged and needs to be replaced

Industrial Size Ice Machine Leaks

Reason: The water pipe connection is loose or damaged, the drainage pipe is blocked due to excessive precipitation of impurities, and the water pump fails and cannot deliver water normally.
Maintenance method: Check the water pipe connection to ensure that the connection is firm and undamaged, clean the water pipe, and remove the impurities and sediment accumulated in the water pipe. Finally, check whether the industrial size ice machine water pump is working properly: check whether the voltage is normal, and check whether the water pump has any abnormalities, such as looseness, abnormal sound, temperature, water leakage or odor. Through these methods, potential problems of the water pump can be discovered in time and corresponding maintenance measures can be taken.
