What West Loop / Near West Side does
to an ice machine.

Around Fulton Market, old warehouses have turned into loft condos, and restaurants, bars and galleries fill the street level.

Chicago's health department inspects food businesses and responds to complaints and food recalls, with the goal of preventing foodborne disease.

On warm nights in strong heat waves, temperatures in the city proper can stay above 80°F, helped by the urban heat island and nearby Lake Michigan.

All of Chicago

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.

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.

Older housing stock

Old commercial buildings turned into bars and restaurants often have a single aging supply serving the whole back of house, and an ice machine on it fills its trough short whenever the dish area draws water, which shows as small or partial sheets of cubes.

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.
