PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

PROBABLE CORRECTION

Unusual noise

Mineral scale in evaporator

Clean water system with ice

machine cleaner.

Grease coupling

Auger coupling worn

Replace coupling and adapter

stand.

Bearings worn

Replace bearings and water seal.

Gear motor loose on frame

Tighten bolts, check grommets

Low water level

Check water level in reservoir

Tubing vibrating

Check tubing for contact

Tooth on a gear missing

Check gears in auger drive

Compressor too loud

Replace compressor

Gear noise

Check gear motor for oil leak

No water is dispensed

Water Switch in Off position

Switch to ON

Water switch open

Replace switch

Water solenoid plugged up

Clean inlet screen of solenoid

Water solenoid coil open

Replace solenoid

Vend switch open

Replace switch

Water turned off

Restore water supply

Water drips from spout

Melting ice in chute

Some water dripping is normal

Water solenoid leaks thru

Replace solenoid

Ice jammed in spout

Clear ice jam, check for cause

Bin drain restricted

Clean drain, check bin drainage

Ice will not stop dispensing

Vend switch stuck closed

Replace switch

Water leaks from cabinet

Evaporator water seal worn or

cracked

Replace seal and bearings

Tubing to evaporator leaks

Replace tubing/fittings

Drain leaks

Check drain tubes and fittings

External drain restricted

Clean out drain

No refrigeration

Gear motor does not turn

Check motor

Centrifugal switch does not close Check switch
Fan motor does not turn

Check fan motor

Lack of refrigerant

Add refrigerant, if problem is

reduced, locate leak and repair it.
