It’s possible for ice to cause damage to your machine. It can be costly to fix an icemaker that has frozen up. Sometimes ice can grow to the point where it damages vital components. There are methods to detect when an ice maker freezes so that you can stop further damage.
Avoid waiting for negative signs like soft, malformed or cloudy cubes and a distinct smell before you start cleaning. If these symptoms occur, it’s usually a sign that your cleaning is late. Stick to a strict timetable to remain proactive rather than reactive.

At LCRC Pros, we understand the importance of cleaning and sanitizing procedures for your commercial ice machine. Cleaning standards are important. It is crucial to know the best cleaners and the timeframe to use for each component of your ice machine. We are here to assist you with all aspects of preventive maintenance and commercial kitchen equipment tips.
Food safety has to be a primary concern on the mind of every Newark restaurant owner. You would not be in business long if it wasn’t. Serve potentially dangerous food to your customers can have severe consequences. A contaminant can be introduced to an ice machine. The ice can preserve them and allow them the opportunity to reproduce. The sticky substances produced by dangerous microorganisms when they establish colonies are called biofilms. They can then be very difficult to remove once established. Getting rid of mold and other dangerous microorganisms is not so easy.
You might need to clean it more frequently, depending on your usage volume, where the machine is located, and the water condition. The machine may need to be cleaned more frequently if it’s located near a food preparation line in a restaurant. If you don’t do this regularly enough or have not been doing it correctly, you may have mold, slime, and scale buildup within your machine, which could be contaminating your ice.
The short answer is yes. Ice can sustain many nasties, including bacteria that can cause significant harm to humans. It is common to believe that ice is too frigid to harbor germs. But that isn’t true. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean that bacteria can’t survive. Ingestions of dirty ice may lead to serious illnesses such as cholera or salmonella.
We don’t often think of ice machines as food so it is easy to forget about the potential dangers of not maintaining them. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does however consider ice food. Ice is handled by your employees and eaten by your customers. It can also spread illnesses just like other food sources. You won’t know if your ice has been contaminated until it’s too late. Even though your ice may not look, smell or taste bad, it could still harbour dangerous microorganisms. Federal law mandates that your ice machines be maintained clean. Fines up to $500,000. If you are found guilty of violating the law, you can be punished.
Regular maintenance and adherence to commercial ice machine cleaning guidelines is priceless in safeguarding against the costly and distressing aftermath of contaminated ice.
The heart of any commercial ice machines is a refrigeration unit similar to one that can be found in a refrigerator. A compressor pushes the refrigerant (a liquid that cools rapidly and has a very low melting point) through a narrow tube, which is known as the condenser. The refrigerant is gas when it enters the area. But it’s cooled in a condenser by water or air flowing around the tube. It cools down and condenses into a liquid. The liquid passes through an expansion valve before it is sent to the evaporator. There, it is re-evaporated back into a solid. The liquid absorbs heat from surrounding metal. The warm gas then returns to the compressor where it begins the whole process over again.
In the case of a commercial ice machine that produces cubes or half cubes, the evaporator is akin to the ice cube tray you’d use at home, though this one is big, metal, and stands up on its end. This positioning allows workers to use the tray without having to bend it to loosen the cubes, as they would at home.
The system forms the ice by doing something that may alarm people who are not familiar with commercial ice-making and/or convince them the unit is broken. A pump flows gallons of water in continuous streams over the evaporator. It is perfectly normal. As the water flows above that chilled metal, it forms ice crystals. They’re social creatures, so they invite other passing water molecules to chill there with them. The party grows and the ice cubes fill the entire evaporator plate.
The next steps can be done differently by different ice machine makers. The system stops water from being poured over the evaporator plate when the trays are full. At this point, all those individual cubes are connected by a thin sheet of ice that holds them together. You can free them by using commercial ice machines. Some push them out with a tiny piston that taps the tray. Others heat up the evaporatorplate, melting enough to make the sheet loosen. The cubes fall into the waiting container, most of which are broken up on impact. However, some parts may still be intact.
Believe it or not, but ice can actually harm your ice machine. An ice maker freeze up can be very expensive to fix if it ends up damaging your ice machine. Sometimes ice can grow to the point where it damages vital components. There are methods to detect when an ice maker freezes so that you can stop further damage.
While freeze ups can be caused by many things, there are several common problems that you should first look into.
Ice makers freeze when the evaporator plates aren’t able to release the ice. Water continues to flow on the stuck ice and it forms a huge block of ice as it is. An ice maker can freeze up, which can stop it from dropping ice. It can also cause damage to the evaporator plates, which could result in expensive repairs.
Scale is caused when your icemaker has hard water. Calcium and magnesium can form and stick to surfaces with water that is constantly flowing. If you live in an area with hard water, you’ve likely seen scale forming around your faucet or on your shower tiles.
Regular professional cleanings can help to eliminate scale buildup in your machine. A water softener (or phosphate filter) can help reduce scale in your system if you live with hard water.
