In this troubleshooting situation we’re looking ahead to fall, and we’re following up on a complaint from a restaurant manager that one of the ice machines in his high volume establishment isn’t producing enough ice. There are two identical machines in this installation. Both are remote condenser type and are of the same age, having been installed eight years ago in the same section of the kitchen. The remote condensers are located on the same area of the roof. The climate area is mild, and the month of the year is November.
The restaurant manager reports that from the middle of the day through the afternoon, the cubes from the problem ice machine are nearly as plentiful as the identical unit that’s operating properly, but the cubes that are being produced are being produced seem incomplete.
