Normal Operation

The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from most water sources on a consistent basis. Water is constantly circulated over the evaporator assembly. As the water freezes, gravity causes any sediment to drop into the water trough and not become imbedded in the ice. This gives a clearer ice cube with a low mineral content. When the ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The cycle is then repeated. When the level of ice reaches the top of the storage bin the unit shuts off. As the ice level in the bin drops the unit will automatically restart to keep the bin full. Your unit’s ice production rate may vary depending on many considerations. Ambient air temperatures, water temperatures, condenser cleanliness and ice-maker cleanliness are all contributing factors to how quickly the unit produces ice. Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, the water circulation pump or ice dropping into the ice storage bin.

Ice Cube Thickness

Your Electrolux ice maker uses advanced technology to make ice that is crystal clear. This technology cascades a flow of water over a chilled ice mold that is mounted vertically so no water sits in it. Because of this ice making technology, clear ice cubes differ significantly from regular ice cubes. Differences are illustrated in Figure 25.

Cube “slabbing”: Electrolux clear ice makers produce a “slab” of ice that falls from the vertical mold, relying on gravity to break the ice bridges. Depending on the control setting, and the fullness of the ice bucket, it maybe necessary to tap the ice slab with the ice scoop to break it apart.

Ice Dispenser Operation & Care

The ice cube thickness control is factory set for best overall performance. The factory setting is designed to maintain an ice bridge of approximately 1/16” to 1/8” under normal conditions resulting in a dimple of approximately 1/4” to 1/2” in depth (see Figure 26a and 26b). A fuller cube with less of a dimple results in a thicker ice bridge. As the ice bridge becomes thicker, the tendency for the cubes to stay together as a slab increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8” may cause cubes to over-fill the ice bucket.
