Under-counter Ice Makers are designed
to produce
ice at the point of use such as your sunken bar and at higher volume
than your Refrigerator Ice maker. A choice of cube sizes and designs are
available from small thin squares to small shot glasses.
Indoor and outdoor Under Counter
models. Common and popular sizes for these units might be
34"x
15". There are smaller and larger but the 34 x 15 are
common.
- Ice production can vary from 30 to 50 lbs per day
for example and the holding bins typically hold a couple days
worth.
Some Frequently Asked Under Counter
Ice Maker Questions:
- Q: There's no ice in my bin but there's ice
slabs up inside melting and dripping on top of a wire grid thing when I
look inside. What's up?
- A: Your production may be fine but the cutting
grid thing is designed to be a hotwire. It might be de-energized or a
wire could be broken in the grid breaking the circuit flow. Either way,
It needs to be removed for
inspection.
- Q; I have a late model Whirlpool undercounter
icemaker with a drain pump, plugged in , water on and does nothing. What
could that be?
- A: Later models integrate the drain pump into
their circuitry, a failsafe of sorts. One just plugs into the other.
It's possible to isolate one from the other and determine which is at
fault. Energizing just the Ice Maker at this point will reveal if it's
at fault.

Counter Ice Maker FAQ for the moment. This will be updated soon, so
