Problem
Ice Maker Not Making Ice
Quick answer
Standalone ice machines from Scotsman and U-Line stop producing when the water supply or filter is restricted, the evaporator is scaled, the harvest cycle fails, the bin sensor thinks the bin is full, or the sealed system is weak. A thorough cleaning and descaling solves many cases; the rest need component repair.
Common causes
- Water supply or filter
- Scale on evaporator
- Harvest cycle failure
- Bin sensor
- Sealed system
