Causes for ice machine shutdown after working for a few minutes

Jul 31,2024

When we use the ice machine daily, there may be problems such as the machine shutting down just after being turned on for a few minutes, or just starting up. What causes this failure? How can it be solved?

Cause 1: The tap water inlet is not turned on, and the heat dissipation is not good.

Solution: Check whether the tap water switch of the ice maker is turned on, whether the heat dissipation port is blocked by something, and whether the radiator of the air-cooled machine has not been cleaned for a long time. If so, clean the radiator (Note: Do not use hard objects to clean the radiator, but use a brush and polyester to clean it).

Cause 2: Check whether the ice full switch is damaged

Solution: Use a power meter to measure and see if the ice full switch is normally closed when the water baffle is closed. If it is, it proves that there is no damage. Otherwise, the ice full switch should be replaced, or check whether the magnet opposite the ice full switch is magnetic.

Cause 3: High-voltage switch open circuit

Solution: Use a power meter to measure and see if the high-voltage switch is normally closed when the machine is stopped. If so, it means it is normal. Otherwise, the high-voltage switch needs to be replaced. You can also short-circuit the two open-voltage switches on the computer board.

The ice-making machine is a refrigeration equipment that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator with the refrigerant in the refrigeration system. Depending on the principle and production method of the evaporator, the shape of the ice cubes generated will be different.
