Viking DUIM1531D Designer Ice Machine
The DUIM1531D is a retired Designer series 15-inch ice machine, described by Viking as offering maximum ice production with a minimalist look. The listing is brief, so the tag on the unit tells us the rest.
These machines live under counters, so they depend on a clean condenser and a clear drain. A machine that makes less ice than it used to almost always has one of them to blame, along with scale on the evaporator. We begin with the condenser and airflow, then the inlet, the fill and the evaporator surface. We watch a harvest cycle and then trace the drain for blockages or kinks if water gathers in the base.
Your written price comes before work, and repairs include a 30-day warranty.
A blocked or kinked drain, a failed drain pump or a leaking fitting. We trace the drain line, test the pump if there is one, and tighten or replace the fitting.
Keep the vent clear, clean the condenser and use filtered water if you can. These steps reduce the scale and heat that slow production over the years.
Yes, a little melting is normal between harvests. If the ice is wet or fused into clumps, the drain or a warm condenser may be the cause.
