Tower living

Many newer ice machines charged with R-290 sit in small tower pantries and lounges, and a hiss or a gas smell there means no switches and no flame: open the door, leave the room and call 911 if the smell is strong.

Small cafes and back bars

Small cafes and studio apartments often set an ice machine beside other equipment that throws heat, an espresso machine or a bottle cooler, and the warmth those neighbors add can cut a small machine's daily ice by a noticeable share.

Home bars with clear ice

In a designed kitchen the ice machine often has its own water branch with an inline filter tucked behind a panel, and a cartridge left past its date slowly starves the water trough, so the filter's age is read before anything else.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Near North Side.

In Near North Side 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
