Ice makers are used in everyday life and in professional kitchens to produce ice cubes. You fill water in, press a button and get a big batch of ice. That’s really convenient if you have a party. Unfortunately, even this simple device is able to create troubles. You can call a repairman, or you can try to figure out on your own how to troubleshoot the ice maker. All models of U-line freezers incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. Despite this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar. Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood, vinyl or tiled floors and paneled walls have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises. The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard when it operates. Air moving through a condenser may be heard as well. However, if the noise sounds weird and unusual, it is time to run a diagnostic. If you hear no odd sounds but you are not satisfied with the shape of the ice cubes, it is still necessary to check the appliance. A common issue you might observe with your U-Line ice maker could be that the freezer's temperature is too high (typically above 10 degrees Fahrenheit), which will cause your ice maker to fail to properly make ice cubes. If it is the temperature that's off, you'll want to make sure the condenser and coils are running properly. Another issue with this sort of appliance could be that the water inlet, which opens to supply water to the dispenser and ice maker, is malfunctioning. Additionally, the ice maker assembly might be malfunctioning and could require replacement or repairs. Freezer seals that become hard from drying out will crack and break when used intensively. A broken freezer seal means there is no longer an air-tight seal between the fridge and the outside, keeping cold air in and warm air out. In everyday practice seals will break on the top-side because this is where food spills and most pollution accumulates due to insufficient cleaning frequency. Once seals dry out, become hard and break they need to be replaced. There is no possibility to bring dried out rubbers back in the original flexible condition, drying out is an irreversible process. The reason why your U-line freezer produces abnormal ice cubes may be connected with defective seals. A professional service technician will replace the faulty seal, clean condenser and add freon if needed. Don’t hesitate to give us a call and arrange an appointment at a convenient time.
