What Highland Park does
to an ice machine.

Along 6 miles of shoreline, a bluff about 100 feet high rises over the lake, cut by wooded ravines that reach as far as a mile inland.

Rosewood Beach, Moraine Beach and Park Avenue Beach, the last with a boating facility, are the city's three public beaches.

Highland Park was a dry community, with no alcohol sales, from 1869 until November 1, 1900.

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.

Mixed housing

On a block where an old corner restaurant faces a new cafe, the older one may still run a modular head from decades back whose parts are getting scarce, while the new one runs an R-290 machine full of sensors, and each takes a different kind of repair.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Highland Park.

In Highland Park 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
A stainless modular ice machine head sitting on a wide stainless ice bin in a tiled restaurant back room, a sheet of clear water spreading from under the ice machine bin across the red quarry tile toward a wall outlet with a plugged-in cord, a few loose ice cubes melting in the puddle.

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
