How Perlick builds its ice makers
A Perlick undercounter ice maker builds clear ice by running water over a cold evaporator plate, so minerals get left behind in the water rather than frozen into the cubes. That design works well but it scales, and a scaled plate slows harvest and eventually stops production. The other half of the machine is the drain. Some models drain by gravity and some use a pump, and either one clogging will flood the bin or the cabinet. Outdoor units bring a third factor: a water line, valve or drain that froze. We check water supply, drain path and the plate before looking at refrigeration, because that's where most Perlick ice calls end.
Parts that tend to fail on Perlick ice makers
- Drain pump failure leaving water in the bin
- Scale on the evaporator plate slowing harvest
- Water inlet valve not opening
- Outdoor unit with a frozen supply or drain line
- Cubes melting together from a warm bin

Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Not necessarily. On outdoor units, a frozen water line, inlet valve or drain can stop the machine. Once thawed it may run normally, though freezing can crack valves or lines. We check for damage before replacing anything.
Clear ice is made by leaving the minerals behind, and those minerals build up on the evaporator and in the water system. Regular cleaning, per the manual, keeps harvest working and prevents a service call.
