What Lake Forest does
to an ice machine.

Lake Forest's clubs include the Onwentsia Club, the Knollwood Club, Conway Farms Golf Club and the Lake Forest Winter Club.

Country clubs were centers of social life in Lake Forest's early decades, led by the Onwentsia Club.

Between August 10 and 13, 2020, the Midwest derecho affected 1.9 million electric customers across several states.

Older housing stock

In an older house a premium undercounter ice machine added during a remodel may drain into a cast-iron or galvanized line narrowed by decades of buildup, and melt water that backs up into the bin is traced down that old pipe first.

Gated communities

Estate generators pick up the load after an outage, but an ice machine restarting on backup power may stall mid-harvest or come back in its delay mode, so a bin sitting half full the morning after is checked for that before any part is blamed.

Ice for pool decks and patios

An outdoor-rated ice machine under a patio bar runs in the full heat of the afternoon, and its air-cooled condenser pulls in dust and grass clippings all summer, so cleaning the condenser filter is often what brings its output back.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Lake Forest.

In Lake Forest 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
