How often should a cube ice machine be cleaned? How to maintain it?

How often should a cube ice machine be cleaned? How to maintain it?

2025-07-03

To ensure clean, hygienic, and efficient ice production, it is recommended to perform basic cleaning every 2 weeks and deep maintenance every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage and water quality.

Routine Cleaning Recommendations:

Every 2 weeks:

Clean the ice storage bin and remove leftover ice or debris
Wipe the ice outlet to avoid odor buildup
Rinse the water inlet filter to prevent clogging

Monthly to Quarterly:

Use food-grade ice machine cleaner to clean the evaporator and ice mold
Check the water pump and drainage pipe for blockages
Clean dust off the compressor and condenser fins if necessary

Annually (by a technician):

Inspect the refrigeration system
Replace aging parts and sealing components
Calibrate control panels and sensor accuracy

Maintenance Tips:

Use clean water sources to reduce scale and residue buildup
Install the machine in a well-ventilated area, away from grease and heat
When idle for extended periods, drain all water and unplug the unit
Periodically check the power supply and control panel status

Proper cleaning and maintenance not only improve ice quality but also extend the machine’s lifespan and reduce breakdowns.
