What Glencoe does
to an ice machine.

Three golf clubs border the village: the private Lake Shore Country Club, the village-run Glencoe Golf Club and the private Skokie Country Club.

Its small central business district holds the post office, library, Village Hall, a performing arts theater and the train station.

Glencoe's Park Avenue beach, once restricted to white residents, was integrated in 1942 after a court injunction allowed the sale of beach passes.

On a lake

Fresh-water fog and summer damp off a lake keep an ice machine's bin wet and its door gasket clammy, so mold near the bin door and the drain grows faster by the water than in town, and the cleaning schedule tightens with it.

Older housing stock

Older wiring may put an ice machine's compressor on a circuit shared with other bar equipment, and a breaker that trips each time the harvest starts is left off and reported rather than reset again and again; at a burning smell, switch the breaker off.

Home bars with clear ice

A panel-ready undercounter ice machine wears a custom front that matches the cabinets, and a heavy panel slowly pulls the door hinge out of line until warm air leaks into the bin, so a machine whose ice melts into clumps is checked at the door first.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Glencoe.

In Glencoe 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.
