How to Make More Ice from Your Ice Machine?

Believe it or not, our team here at LA ICE MACHINE gets many calls almost every week from business owners stating their concerns regarding their ice makers not making enough ice. Their main problem is how the commercial ice maker just isn’t producing like it used to.

A common problem here at LA ICE MACHINE that we happily oblige to. However, we know very well how 90% of the time, the machine isn’t broken or at fault. In fact, it is a matter of regulating the machine maintenance checks and keeping them up to date.

Even many environmental issues can become a cause of decreasing amounts of ice production by the ice maker. So it definitely isn’t the right way to go about neglecting your ice machine or hitting up your service provider on the slightest of issues. Instead, let’s take a look at some of the remedies you can perform on your own to avoid low ice production in the first place.

Regular Preventive Maintenance 101

  • One of the best ways to ensure optimum performance of your ice machine and the appropriate amount of quality ice production is by conducting regular preventive maintenance checks.
  • There is no doubt that ice machines are complicated to handle on your own if you don’t have the proper know-how. However, with that being said, learning how to handle the equipment you use daily isn’t that difficult.
  • As you continue to use an ice machine daily, you would get in on its technicalities, what goes where, how it works, etc. You can read up guidelines, manuals and even ask your technician on their next visit for some easy tips and tricks.
  • Long story short, self-reliance for regular maintenance checkups on your ice machine isn’t a bad idea. However, if you are completely unsure of something, we recommend you hit us up immediately.
  • One of our expert ice machine technicians will reach out to you. During a preventive maintenance call, they will check the machine inside and out and run some diagnostic tests to ensure the machine is running according to specifications.
  • It happens more often than not that business owners are entirely aloof to something being wrong with the ice machine and don’t realize until it’s too late. Having a technician run a thorough preventive maintenance check would allow them to fix the problem before it becomes more severe.

Check Your Air & Water Temperature

  • The air and water temperature are very common reasons why your ice machine might not produce an adequate amount of ice. Many ice machine manufacturers place the air and water temperature of the ice machine at high priority to supplement the right amount of ice production.
  • Therefore, it is important to keep the air and water temperature in check before every usage. Ideally, temperatures between 70 to 90 degrees are best for optimum functionality and the right amount of ice production. Any higher, and the machine would start producing less ice.
  • Consequently, on the other hand, if you go any lower than the recommended temperatures, and you’ll notice that there still is not enough ice because half of the water would freeze inside than coming out in ice cube forms.
