What Del Mar does
to an ice machine.

Hollywood silent film stars took to the Stratford Inn, the hotel the South Coast Land Company completed around 1910 on an earlier hotel's site.

Temperatures pass 85°F only a few times a year, and a heavy marine layer often settles in because the town lies between two lagoons with the ocean to the west.

Much of the population lives on the coast and bluffs, which face sea level rise and erosion.

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.

Seasonal houses

Owners closing a house for the season are best served by a machine that has been switched off, drained and left with its door propped open, since a sealed bin in a humid, empty house is exactly where mold takes hold.

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 Del Mar.

In Del Mar 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
