Ice Formation Pattern

Evaporator ice formation pattern analysis is helpful in 

ice machine diagnostics.
Analyzing the ice formation pattern alone cannot 

diagnose an ice machine malfunction. However, when 

this analysis is used along with Manitowoc’s 

Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table, it 

can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction.

Examples of Evaporator Tubing Routing

Normal Ice Formation

Ice forms across the entire evaporator surface.
At the beginning of the Freeze cycle, it may appear 

that more ice is forming on the inlet of the evaporator 

than at the outlet. At the end of the Freeze cycle, ice 

formation at the outlet will be close to, or just a bit 

thinner than, ice formation at the inlet. The dimples in 

the cubes at the outlet of the evaporator may be more 

pronounced than those at the inlet. This is normal.
If ice forms uniformly across the evaporator surface, 

but does not do so in the proper amount of time, this is 

still considered a normal ice fill pattern.
