Scotsman icemaker dce33 is making ice, but it is melting

Question edited for full 'make model (what it is)' and spelling of 'reservoir'.

Matt Solves his own issue, well done and thanks for coming back with the answer.

UPDATE (since I cant figure out how to answer my own question):

Figured out that it was just a faulty pressure sensor. I believe it got water in it which was disrupting its function... I took the pressure sensor apart and reassembled it and now it can keep up with the drainage out of the reservoir.

Interesting note, which I hadn't realized before, the hose from the reservoir drains much faster than the bin... the bin has small holes that lead to the drain whereas the reservoir tube can have good throughput.

..

This is normal until the machine begins to fill up the storage area. The storage area is not refrigerated on these machine so the ice is continually melting. It does get some cooling when the machine is making ice from the cold air dropping off the evaporator. The bin is insulated so when it fills the ice will melt slower.

Poor draining of water in the ice bin will cause a high rate of ice melting, Remember this is not a freezer but an ice maker. If the machine is making ice OK but it is melting to fast then check to make sure the bin is draining all the melt off and not letting water stand in bin causing ice to melt fast.

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.

The bin should fill up and the machine shut off in 24-36 hours from time it is turned on. If not the condenser coil may be dirty.
1.Clean the coil this should be done every year.
The bin brain may be partially restricted causing ice to melt faster.
1. clean out the drain.
The air flow to the condenser may be obstructed.
check to make sure there is nothing covering up the grill or coil.

The bin has most likely failed. Apparently the bin insulation on the DCE33 eventually gets saturated with water and loses it's insulation ability. Consequently the ice melts prematurely. Condensation starts to build up inside the bin because it's not cold enough adding to the problem as the water drips on the new ice inside the bin.

Mine is 5-yrs old and I was told that it's all the life I'll get out of it.

If everything else is workng properly, harvest time, cube size, cold water spray, then a new bin is the unfortunate solution.

The only thing that keeps the ice cold is the ice itself. If the icemaker isn't making ice fast enough then the ice will melt before more ice drops to keep it cold. In other words the motor ice the slower the ice melts. Now if the door gasket isn't sealing properly then the ice could melt to fast. Also the ice is going to melt some and when it does the water has got to drain out the bottom. If the water doesn't drain the ice will be sitting in water and will speed up the melting process dramatically. I hope this helps!

There are a couple of things to check. The machine must be level. You can remove the front cover and the plastic sheet that covers the plate where the ice is made. Check to see that the water is flowing from the manifold at the top of the plate. You may have to pop the hose off the end of that manifold to clean the water holes out. It must flow evenly over the plate. Probably the most common problem is the radiator coil there the fan draws air through is clogged up so that it can't dissapate heat properly. You should be able to feel a lot of hot air moving through the coils. The fan cycles on and off periodically to maintain a certain pressure in the freon. That is normal. Clean the fan coils and level the machine.

Check that the condenser is clean, the plastic sheet is hanging over the opening and trhat both spray nozzles are in place.

I believe it was the inlet water valve that needed to be replaced, but I got so fed up with the noise and repairs on this machine that I purchased a Whirlpool ice maker. So far, it's been great. It is much more quiet and produces 50 lbs of ice in 12 hours and shuts off until some of it melts. It only produces more ice about four times a day as it melts.
