Perlick Ice Maker Repair in Philadelphia

The way Perlick builds its ice makers shapes every repair, and Perlick's undercounter ice makers are offered in pump and gravity-drain versions, with outdoor-rated models available.

On Perlick ice makers, the faults that come up most are faulty water inlet valve, drain pump failure, evaporator scale, and water level sensor fault. Symptoms that bring us out include ice production slowing, water on the floor, and ice looks cloudy. Scale is the first thing to cut output, so when the ice maker slows, replace an old water filter and run a cleaning cycle. Cloudy, soft or off-tasting ice usually means a dirty water system or an expired filter.

Good drainage and clean water are what keep a Perlick ice maker running, and a blocked drain or scale buildup can cause leaks or slow production. When water backs up on a pump model, the drain pump needs checking. Descaling and cleaning frequently bring performance back with no parts needed.

In a hot summer kitchen without air conditioning, an ice maker produces less ice, since warm room air and warm supply water both slow the freeze cycle. Water pressure, filter condition and scale are checked before any part is replaced.

If a Perlick ice maker quits producing, the likely cause is a clogged drain or a scaled water valve. Whether it proves to be the evaporator scale or something less obvious, you get a written estimate before any work, and the repair is covered for 90 days on parts and 30 on labor.

Clean and sanitize the bin and water system at least twice a year. For no ice at all or any other Perlick ice maker fault, the visit starts with a diagnosis and a written price.
