Common faults and simple solutions

2022-01-06

Summer is here, and the frequency of use of the ice machine is also higher. It is inevitable that some failures will occur. Those who open a store must understand the relevant equipment and learn simple troubleshooting. Today, we will talk about the common faults and solutions of the ice machine.

Fault ①: No ice making

Solution: 1. If it is not placed horizontally, place it horizontally as required. 2. If the ice plate probe is faulty or too close, replace or adjust the ice plate probe. 3. Check whether the solenoid valve is leaking, and then replace the solenoid valve and filter as appropriate. 4. Check the refrigerant leakage, and then check the leakage and repair the welding and add the refrigerant by vacuuming according to the situation.

Trouble ②: loud noise

Solution: 1. If the fan is noisy, check the fan blades, install screws, correct or tighten them. 2. Check whether the chassis is deformed and adjust it according to the situation. 3. If the compressor is noisy, adjust and replace it.

Fault ③: no water, no water

Solution: There are two situations: 1. The pump works but does not supply water. There are several possibilities:

A. If there is air in the pipeline, discharge the air in the pump.

B. If there is too much ice slag at the bottom, shut down and restart the drain.

C. If the impeller of the water pump is worn out, replace the water pump.

2. The water pump does not work, there are two possibilities:

A. If the water pump is broken, replace the water pump.

B. If the wiring is bad or the circuit board is faulty, check the circuit or replace the circuit board.

Fault ④: There is ice in the upper part of the ice tray but no ice in the lower part or the ice is thin

Solution: 1. If the ice tray is installed too inclined, adjust the installation. 2. If there are few refrigerating species, add refrigerating species appropriately after confirming the refrigerating species. 3. If it is not placed horizontally, place it horizontally.

Fault ⑤: The compressor does not start

Solution: 1. The voltage may be low and the voltage can be adjusted. 2. Check the start protector and replace it if it is damaged. 3. Check whether the compressor is normal. If it is abnormal, replace the compressor.

Fault ⑥: Insufficient heat dissipation

Solution: 1. If there is no ventilation, adjust the position of the vent. 2. If the condenser is dirty, clean the condenser.

Trouble ⑦: no water

Solution: 1. If the water inlet valve is blocked, clean the net cover. 2. If the inlet valve is broken, replace the inlet valve. 3. If the socket at the circuit board is loose or the circuit board is broken, check the circuit board or replace the circuit board. 4. If the water level sensor switch is broken, replace the water level sensor switch. 5. If the ice baffle does not return properly, adjust it.

Trouble ⑧: no running

Solution: 1. Check whether the baffle is in place, and adjust it according to the situation. 2. Check whether the magnetic switch is working and whether the circuit board wiring is loose. If it is loose, insert it tightly, or replace the circuit board or replace the magnetic switch. 3. Check whether the flow pipe is blocked, and clean the flow pipe as appropriate. 4. Check whether the water supply pipe is damaged or falling off, and reinstall or replace it as the case may be.

 

Failure ⑨: Tripping

Solution: 1. Check whether the fan is damaged or whether the circuit board is loose or faulty, and replace it as the case may be. 2. Check whether it is blocked by ice or dirt, and replace the filter or capillary. 3. Check whether the fan probe is normal. If the probe is broken or the circuit board is broken, replace it. 4. If the heat dissipation is not good, clean the condenser or place the whole machine in a ventilated position. 5. If there is too much refrigerant, put the refrigerant appropriately. 6. If the compressor overload protector fails, replace the protector.

Trouble ⑩: slow ice making

Solution: 1. If the water flow is slow, adjust or block the holes. 2. If the ice tray is dirty, clean the ice tray. 3. If the solenoid valve is not tightened, replace the solenoid valve. 4. If the condenser is dirty and the place is not ventilated, clean the condenser and place it according to regulations. 5. If the water tank is leaking, replace the water tank or make up the leak. 6. If there is a slight leakage of refrigerant, check the leakage and repair the welding, and re-evacuate to add refrigerant. 7. If there is too much refrigerant, release the refrigerant appropriately.

Failure : Frequent ice removal

Solution: 1. If the ice baffle is too close to the ice tray, adjust it clockwise. 2. If the ice plate probe fails, replace the ice plate probe. 3. If the circuit board is faulty, replace the circuit board.

Failure : Circuit board failure

Solution: Check whether the various plugs of the circuit board are normal and whether the circuit board is damaged, adjust the sockets or replace the circuit board according to the situation.

Fault : Whether the magnetic switch is normal

Solution: 1. Check whether the magnetic switch is in position, and adjust it according to the situation. 2. If the magnetic switch is broken, replace it.

Failure : other reasons for not refrigerating

Solution: 1. If the refrigerant is leaking, check for leaks and repair welding, and re-evacuate to add refrigerant. 2. If the solenoid valve cannot be closed, replace the solenoid valve.

 

The above is a summary of some common ice machine failures and solutions, hurry up and learn!
