As summer approaches, the need for fully functioning ice machines becomes increasingly important. Whether you run a restaurant, kitchen, or other business requiring commercial refrigeration, you don't want your ice machine breaking down in the year's most sweltering months. Dickerson's Commercial Refrigeration & HVAC in Lexington, KY, is the premier cooling and refrigeration business in central Kentucky.

Below, the experts share some common problems requiring ice machine repair: 

1. Faulty Dispenser

The most complex part of an ice machine is its dispenser system. As a result, this is also the component most likely to malfunction. You could have an old filter, bad water pressure, or problems with the water line. If the issue persists, contact ice machine repair professionals before it worsens.  

2. The Ice Doesn't Taste Right

If you start noticing the ice being dispensed smells or tastes bad, the most likely culprit is an old filter. Aside from replacing the filter, you may also want to consider a fridge deodorizer. 

3. My Machine Isn't Making Ice

If your machine stops making ice, the first thing to check is the dispenser system. But if it's a new ice machine, you might want to give it 24 hours to get to the right temperature and start working properly. Another thing to keep an eye out for is the water tube: sections of it tend to get frozen from time to time, and this could prevent your machine from processing and freezing water.
