Operation

Your Electrolux ice maker uses advanced 
technology to make ice that is crystal clear. This 
technology cascades a flow of water over a chilled 
ice mold that is mounted vertically so no water sits 
in it. Because of this ice making technology, clear 
ice cubes differ significantly from regular ice cubes. 
Differences are illustrated in Figure 25.

•    

Dimples: Electrolux clear ice cubes have 
“dimples” on one side from the cascading 
water process.

•    

Cube Variations: Cubes made from different 
batches, or even cubes within the same 
batch may have varying dimples, thickness 
and/or sizes due to the cascading water 
process.

•    

Cube “slabbing”: Electrolux clear ice 
makers produce a “slab” of ice that falls from 
the vertical mold, relying on gravity to break 
the ice bridges. Depending on the control 
setting, and the fullness of the ice bucket, it 
maybe necessary to tap the ice slab with the 
ice scoop to break it apart.

The ice cube thickness control is factory set for 
best overall performance. The factory setting is 
designed to maintain an ice bridge of approximately 
1/16” to 1/8” under normal conditions resulting in a 
dimple of approximately 1/4” to 1/2” in depth (see 
Figure 26a and 26b). A fuller cube with less of a 
dimple results in a thicker ice bridge. As the ice 
bridge becomes thicker, the tendency for the cubes 
to stay together as a slab increases. A bridge 
thicker than 1/8” may cause cubes to over-fill the 
ice bucket.

The ice maker is designed to make clear ice 
from most water sources on a consistent basis. 
Water is constantly circulated over the evaporator 
assembly. As the water freezes, gravity causes 
any sediment to drop into the water trough and not 
become imbedded in the ice. This gives a clearer 
ice cube with a low mineral content. When the 
ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the 
evaporator and into the storage bin. The cycle is 
then repeated. When the level of ice reaches the 
top of the storage bin the unit shuts off. As the ice 
level in the bin drops the unit will automatically 
restart to keep the bin full. Your unit’s ice production 
rate may vary depending on many considerations. 
Ambient air temperatures, water temperatures, 
condenser cleanliness and ice-maker cleanliness 
are all contributing factors to how quickly the unit 
produces ice. Certain sounds are normal during 
the unit’s operation. You may hear the compressor 
or fan motor, the water valve, the water circulation 
pump or ice dropping into the ice storage bin.
