Henderson's water carries enough dissolved minerals to build scale on the small parts that feed an ice maker. The fill tube can partly freeze shut, the inlet valve screen can clog, and the mold can develop a crust that keeps cubes from releasing. The usual signs are small, hollow or misshapen cubes, a slowly shrinking ice supply, or none at all. A fresh water filter is often the first step.
Refrigerator ice makers have their own common failure points: a stuck feeler arm, a failed ice maker module, a frozen fill tube from a door left ajar, or an evaporator fan that is not moving enough cold air to the ice compartment. The technician tests each part in sequence rather than replacing the whole assembly by default. If the ice bin fills normally but the dispenser will not release ice, the auger motor or a frozen clump in the bin chute may be the cause instead.
Freestanding undercounter ice machines in larger 89012 homes and in commercial spaces need regular descaling, especially on hard water. Without it, the evaporator plate scales over, harvest cycles slow and water may overflow. Some models also have drain pumps that can clog. We repair these units and can explain the cleaning routine recommended by the manufacturer. Using a filter on the supply line to an undercounter machine is recommended by many manufacturers.
Before calling, check that the ice maker is turned on, the feeler arm is down, and the water supply valve is open. Replace an overdue filter. If you see water leaking or the fill tube is frozen, turn off the supply valve and let the tube thaw before running it again. Discard the first few batches after a new filter is installed, since they can contain carbon dust or taste off.
Hard water and ice makers: start here
The valley's tap water comes from the Colorado River by way of Lake Mead, and it is very hard: roughly 16 to 18 grains per gallon, or about 280 to 300 parts per million. The U.S. Geological Survey considers anything over 180 milligrams per liter very hard. For most of the house that means spotty glasses and crusty faucets. For an ice maker, it means minerals are deposited at every point where water stops, freezes or evaporates.
Scale shows up in a few predictable places. The small mesh screen inside the water inlet valve catches sediment and mineral flakes until the flow slows to a trickle. The refrigerator's water filter loads up faster than the calendar suggests. In standalone undercounter ice machines, a chalky white layer builds on the evaporator plate and in the water reservoir, which slows ice harvest and makes cubes cloudy, thin or hollow. Managing hard water is the single biggest factor in keeping an ice maker running here.
