Ice machine repair in Winnetka.

Winnetka's large houses often keep a clear-ice undercounter machine at the bar and another by the pool, and one on a porch or in a pool house has its water drained before the first hard freeze.

What Winnetka does
to an ice machine.

Winnetka sits 17 miles up the North Shore from downtown Chicago, and houses first went up there in 1836.

Winnetka's park district keeps five beaches and 27 parks, with golf, tennis, ice skating and paddle tennis among its facilities.

ComEd put money into a Smart Grid plan in 2016 to upgrade lines and install smart meters across its Illinois system.

Temperatures at O'Hare drop to 0°F or lower on about 5 nights a winter, and some far northern and western suburbs see 10 to 14 such nights.

Gated communities

A clubhouse bar, a fitness center and a pool pavilion inside a gated community often each run their own ice machine under the association's care, so a visit is arranged through the manager and the gate, and several machines are checked on one trip.

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.

A second ice machine

When the second machine sits in a garage, a basement or a pool house without air conditioning, summer heat around its condenser lowers its daily output well below the figure on the spec sheet, and moving air or a shaded spot helps more than any part.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Winnetka.

In Winnetka 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
