Ice Machine Overflowing in Chartwell

The usual causes are inlet valve not closing, float or level probe scaled or stuck, blocked overflow or drain, incorrect water pressure to the machine. Which one applies is settled on site by measurement, not guesswork.

Block plant is the slowest ice to make and the slowest to melt, which is why it survives in transport and fishing duty. On block ice machines in Chartwell we see this fault regularly, usually alongside overdue descaling.

Ice Machine Servicing normally resolves it. Half a day per machine, including refill and a full production cycle.

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.
