What Gold Coast does
to an ice machine.

Oak Street is the Gold Coast's main shopping street, and the district's retailers include Prada, Chanel and Hermès.

When Palmer House owner Potter Palmer built his 42-room castle-like mansion here in 1885, the Gold Coast became home to the city's super-rich.

Dining here includes Gibson's Bar and Steakhouse, Tavern on Rush and Hugo's Frog Bar.

Chicago's record-high minimum temperature is 85°F, set on July 29, 1916.

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.

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

Kitchen designers often place the clear-ice machine far from any floor drain, which means a drain pump hidden in the cabinet, and the pump's check valve and vent line are the first stop when water collects under a spotless island.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Gold Coast.

In Gold Coast 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.

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
