Operation of Ice Machine
New Sounds
The ice machine will make sounds that are different than your household refrigerator.
Because these sounds are new to you they may be of concern but are most likely
normal. The ice production process will make noises that are not typical in a refrigeration
product, ice falling onto hard surfaces, water cascading across the evaporator plate, and
valves opening and closing. Following are some of the sounds that you may hear:
• A rattling noise which could be water flowing through the water line.
• A splashing sound when water is flowing over the evaporator plate and into the
water reservoir.
• A "thud" when the ice slab is released from the evaporator plate and slides onto the
grid cutter.
• A gurgling sound which is refrigerant flowing in the ice machine.
• An air noise from the condenser fan.
