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 the Refrigeration System Operational
Analysis Table, it can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction.
Any number of problems can cause improper ice formation.
Example: An ice formation that is “extremely thin at the outlet” could be caused by a
hot water supply, water leaking out the overflow pipe, a faulty water float valve, a low
refrigerant charge, etc.

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.
