What Santa Monica does
to an ice machine.

Tourists, workers and beachgoers can lift Santa Monica's daytime population to between 250,000 and 450,000, against roughly 85,000 full-time residents.

The hottest reading ever reported in Santa Monica is 100°F, on November 1, 1966, and hot, dry Santa Ana winds blow most often in winter.

In February 2019 the city moved its electricity supply to the Clean Power Alliance, with a citywide default of 100 percent renewable energy.

On the water

After a hurricane the power may stay off for days, and ice in a bin that sat warm and then refroze is thrown out, the bin washed and sanitized, and the machine checked for storm water in its base before it makes ice for drinks again.

Small cafes and back bars

Where one short counter serves coffee, drinks and ice, the scoop tends to live inside the bin, and a handle touched by hands all day is how slime starts on the bin walls, so a clean cycle and a scoop holder solve more than any part.

Mixed housing

A landlord who inherited an ice machine with a building may have no manual and no service record, so the visit starts by reading the model plate, finding the maker's cleaning schedule and writing down what has been done.

When an ice machine
cannot wait in Santa Monica.

In Santa Monica 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

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
