Cloudy or Hollow Ice Cubes in Mondeor Ext
Cloudy or Hollow Ice Cubes in Mondeor Ext, East Rand. Cubes are white, soft, hollow or misshapen.
Urgency for this fault is normally priority. Ekurhuleni visits are grouped by area so restaurant and factory ice plant can be attended on the same run.
The ice plant here is mostly estate clubhouses, guest houses, small restaurants and private bars, so the work is weighted towards undercounter and small modular machines. Filtration sized on measured hardness and throughput is the cheapest protection available for an ice machine's water circuit and pump.
We diagnose in order of likelihood rather than replacing parts speculatively: descale water circuit and inspect spray bars, then measure pump flow and current, then check purge cycle operation.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What causes cloudy or hollow ice cubes?

Is this common on undercounter ice machines?
The most common fault on undercounter machines is not a fault at all: enclosed cabinetry starving the condenser of air. On undercounter ice machines in Mondeor Ext we see this fault regularly, usually alongside overdue descaling.
Which service will fix it?
Ice Machine Descaling normally resolves it. Two to four hours per machine.
Can we keep operating in the meantime?
Sometimes — where the fault is a water-side problem the machine can often be run on reduced output until parts arrive. Where a compressor or leak is involved we advise buying in bagged ice while the repair is completed.
