Philadelphia's water is moderately hard, and over a few years the scale it leaves in the inlet valve and fill tube slows an ice maker down. Changing the filter on schedule helps more than most owners expect.
Older twins and rowhouses often have the laundry in a basement with a low ceiling, so let us know if the stair or doorway is tight.

Undercounter clear-ice machines
Undercounter clear-ice machines run water over a chilled plate or grid so that ice freezes in layers, leaving minerals behind in the water that runs off. A harvest cycle warms the plate or uses a hot-gas valve to release the sheet, which then drops onto a cutter grid or into the bin. Unwanted water drains away, either by gravity to a floor drain or through a built-in drain pump.
These machines have their own compressor and condenser, and their own drain. That means more to maintain: periodic descaling of the water system, cleaning the condenser, and keeping the drain clear. Many of the problems are scale and drain related, and both are preventable.
Undercounter machines are also sensitive to their surroundings. They pull in room air at the front grille to cool the condenser, so a cabinet installation that blocks the grille, or a hot spot beside a range or dishwasher, slows production noticeably. On models with a drain pump, a stalled pump can flood the bin or the floor beneath the cabinet.
