What Should You Do If Your Flake Ice Machine Is Leaking

Water leakage during the use of flake ice machine is a common problem, which not only leads to water waste, but also may affect the quality and storage environment of flake ice. There are many reasons for water leakage, and we need to take corresponding solutions according to the specific situation.

First, the leak may be caused by a clogged drainage pipe.

The drain pipe is responsible for draining excess water. Once it is blocked, the water will overflow from other places. At this time, we should clean the drain pipe regularly to ensure that it is unobstructed.

Secondly, the water distribution tray of the ice flake machine may also cause water leakage.

If the water level in the water distribution tray is not appropriate, too much or too little may cause water leakage. We should adjust the water valve on the water pipe behind the evaporator to keep the water volume in the water distribution tray within the appropriate range, usually 1/3 to 1/2 of the depth. In addition, if the water distribution pipe on the water distribution tray is blocked, it will also cause water leakage. At this time, we need to use tools such as wire to dredge the water distribution pipe to ensure that it sprays water normally.

In addition, the blockage of the water tank return port is also a common cause of water leakage.

If the return port is blocked by garbage, the water in the water distribution tray cannot return to the water tank, but will leak into the ice storage bucket. Therefore, we should clean the return port regularly to prevent blockage.

In addition, if the water inlet float cannot be closed, water will continue to flow in, and excessive water will overflow. 

This may be caused by the water inlet float being stuck or damaged by garbage. We need to check and replace the damaged float or clean up the stuck garbage.

Finally, if the seals and connecting pipes of the ice flake machine are aged or damaged, it may also cause water leakage.

In this case, we need to check and replace these parts to ensure their sealing performance.

In order to prevent the ice flake machine from leaking, we should perform regular maintenance, including cleaning the drainage pipes, water distribution trays, water tanks, water pumps and other components to ensure their normal operation. At the same time, we should also follow the instruction manual of the ice flake machine and operate the equipment correctly to avoid unnecessary damage.

Through the above measures, we can effectively solve the problem of water leakage in flake ice making machine and improve the operation efficiency of equipment and the quality of ice flakes.
