ICE FORMATION PATTERN
Evaporator ice formation pattern analysis is helpful in ice
machine diagnostics.
Analyzing the ice formation pattern alone cannot
diagnose an ice machine malfunction.
However, it's important to keep in mind that any number
of problems can cause improper ice formation.

Example of Evaporator Tubing Routing
Normal Ice Formation
Ice forms across the entire evaporator surface.
At the beginning of the Freeze cycle, it may appear that
more ice is forming on the inlet of the evaporator than at
the outlet. At the end of the Freeze cycle, ice formation
at the outlet will be close to, or just a bit thinner than,
ice formation at the inlet. The dimples in the cubes at the
outlet of the evaporator may be more pronounced than
those at the inlet. This is normal.
If ice forms uniformly across the evaporator surface, but
does not do so in the proper amount of time, this is still
considered a normal ice fill pattern.
