San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area

Ice machine repair in Marina.

Chestnut Street bars and the flats near the bay put ice machines in small spaces close to salt air, and in this seismic zone a modular head should be secured to its bin so a strong quake cannot shift it off its base.

What Marina does
to an ice machine.

Much of the Marina is built on fill, mostly mud and sand dredged from the bay along with some 1906 earthquake rubble, and the 1989 Loma Prieta quake liquefied it.

When the Golden Gate Bridge opened in the 1930s, Lombard Street through the district was widened and soon filled with roadside motels.

Chestnut Street, from Fillmore to Lyon, is lined with stores, restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and bars.

NOAA's hourly normals for San Francisco International put the August dew point between about 53 and 56°F at every hour of the day.

Also known as Marina District.

Small cafes and back bars

Behind a narrow bar the undercounter ice machine is boxed in by coolers and a sink, and an air-cooled unit forced to breathe its own warm exhaust runs long cycles and drops thin cubes, so the clearance at its front grille is checked before the sealed system.

On the water

Salt air eats the fins of an air-cooled condenser on a waterfront bar's or a beach club's ice machine, and once the coil flakes the machine runs hot and makes less ice every summer, so coastal visits start at the condenser and its fan.

Tower living

A tower's lobby bar, rooftop lounge and residents' club often share modular ice machines whose condensers sit on the roof, and a long remote line that loses its charge or its fan shows up downstairs as a head that freezes slowly and a bin that never fills.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Marina.

In Marina as anywhere, these four call for the ice machine to be shut down and left that way for our visit: water spreading from it or its drain across a walkway or toward an outlet, a burning or hot electrical smell, a breaker that trips when it starts, or a hiss or gas smell at a machine charged with flammable R-290.

All 17 problems

Ice Machine Leaking Water Across the Floor or Under the Bin

6 causes, cheapest first

 A stainless undercounter ice machine built in under a dark wooden bar counter, its door closed and its lower front grille showing a faint gray haze drifting out into the dim bar, bottles on the back shelf out of focus, the empty bar stools pushed in. Clear the area first

Burning or Hot Electrical Smell From an Ice Machine

6 causes, cheapest first

 A gray electrical panel on a painted wall in a restaurant back corridor, one breaker switched to the middle tripped position, and through the open doorway beyond it a stainless modular ice machine on its bin standing dark and silent, a plastic ice scoop resting on the bin lid. Clear the area first

Ice Machine Tripping the Breaker or Blowing a Fuse

6 causes, cheapest first

 An empty bar storeroom with its back door propped wide open to a bright alley, a stainless self-contained ice machine standing against the far wall with its bin door closed, cases of glassware on steel shelving, daylight and fresh air pouring in. Clear the area first
