Problem Posible Cause TEST / ACTION
Ice Machine Slow/Low Ice Production Heavy/Frequent Ice Consumption 12 – 24 hours to fill bin is normal. Heavy/frequent ice consumption will slow refill process. Advise customer.
Improper Ambient Temperatures Ambient air temperature minimum = 50°F (10°C), maximum = 100°F (38°C) for models UC-15I and UC-15IP; 110°F (43°C) for models UC-15IO and UC-15IPO. Advise customer. NOTE: Check control board light to see if ice machine shutdown on over temperature limit (control board light will flash rapidly).
Improper Water Temperatures Water temperature minimum = 50°F (10°C), maximum = 80°F (27°C). Ice production slows with warmer water. Advise customer.
