Machine is not making ice

1. Setup and Installation:
   • Ensure the ice machine is properly installed and connected to a water supply and electricity.
   • Check that the machine is level to allow for proper ice production.
2. Water Supply:
   • Ensure that the water supply is providing clean and potable water.
   • The water temperature entering the ice machine should ideally be around 50°F (10°C) for optimal ice production.
3. Machine Operation:
   • Turn on the ice machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
   • Wait for the machine to start its ice-making cycle. This typically takes some time after the initial setup or after the machine has been cleaned.
4. Harvesting Ice:
   • Once the ice is made, the machine will enter the harvest cycle where it pushes the ice into the storage bin.
   • Wait for the ice machine to complete the harvest cycle and check the ice bin for the availability of ice.
5. Maintenance:
   • Regularly clean and sanitize the ice machine as per the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure the quality and safety of the ice.
   • Keep the condenser and air filters clean to maintain the efficiency of the machine.
6. Troubleshooting:
   • If the machine is not producing ice, consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer's customer support for troubleshooting assistance.

Remember, specific instructions can vary depending on the model and make of the ice machine. Always refer to the user manual provided by the manufacturer for detailed and accurate instructions tailored to your specific model (CME256AS-1H in this case).

Hi, Are you using Scotsman ice machine cleaner? and are you using the right amount?
1. Open the door and turn the ice machine control knob to off.
2. Scoop out all the ice, discard it.
3. Pour 4 ounces of Scotsman ice machine cleaner into the ice machine reservoir.
4. Turn the ice machine control to on.
5. Allow the machine to operate for about 2 to 3 hours.
6. Pour hot water into the bin to melt the ice that has formed. That ice will likely be white and frosty looking.
7. Clean the bin liner of mineral scale by mixing some ice machine cleaner and hot water, and using that solution to scrub the scale off the liner.
8. Rinse the liner with hot water.
9. Sanitize the bin liner.
Now a dirty evaporator plate will not stop it from making ice it will cause it to hang up on the plate during harvest cycle if machine is not making ice good then there is something else wrong but when you clean the machine also make sure you clean the condenser coil and fan if this is dirty this will cause it to slow down on production of ice.

rotated the ice bridge adjustment screw clockwise about a 1/8 turn in between freeze cycles. thich direction makes the ice thicker.

Sounds like a filter or line is clogged.

This problem is going to be the ice maker itself. The arm you are talking about is the shut-off mechanism for the ice machine. Just before the ice machine starts to make ice, the arm slowly rises. Then the arm falls down, if there is ice blocking the arm from falling all the way down it will not make ice because there is plenty! If the arm is able to fall down completely, the ice machine will make ice like normal. If your ice maker is making ice regardless of the arms position, something is wrong with the ice maker. Depending on who replaces this, it could cost anywhere from $100 to $200.

if this is a water cooled machine, the head pressure flow controller need to be replace/adjusted.

3 beeps means the machine has ran two 1 hour cycles back to back to make ice an average timeframe for ice making is 25-30 min. Could be several issues, float switch dirty, water valve leaking by, dirty spray tubes, dirty evap., then go to refrigeration Expansion valve, compressor, charge, Hot gas valve leaking by,,,,,
