Analysis of the reasons why the snowflake ice machine does not make ice?

The snowflake ice machine is a finely crushed ice type, with a large ice production capacity, which can meet the needs of laboratory ice baths, with high speed and high efficiency. Therefore, for many years, the "ice" used in the laboratory has only chosen the Snowflake ice machine. But there is no machine that can run smoothly all the time without failure. Sometimes when making ice in the laboratory, the ice machine will suddenly fail to make ice. Why is this?

Why doesn't the snowflake ice machine make ice? There are three reasons, let's analyze specific problems in detail!
1. Because the snowflake ice machine is not filled with water, it does not make ice

Water is the source of ice, and of course ice cannot be made without water. If the snow ice maker's water pump can't push the water onto the ice tray, it won't be able to make ice.

In this case, the water pump is not cleaned regularly, and the accumulated scale is stuck on the water pump. It is recommended to clean it once a month.

If the local water quality is poor, you can consider replacing the filter system, or increase the cleaning frequency of the water pump.

2. Because the snowflake ice machine has poor heat dissipation

Poor heat dissipation is mostly due to the long time of ice making, coupled with poor heat dissipation, the compressor becomes hot and causes overheating protection of the machine.

In this case, you can open the cover to see if the dust on the heat sink affects the air flow, or other foreign objects block the heat sink, just remove it.

3. Because the snowflake ice machine refrigerant is insufficient

If the snowflake ice machine has not made ice for a long time, check the refrigeration system to see if the refrigerant is sufficient before using it again.

If the refrigerant is leaking, you must first test the pressure to check for leaks, and then add refrigerant after repairing the welding. If there is still no ice, it may be a problem with the computer board or the sensor.
