Viking FGIM5151 Clear Ice Machine
The FGIM5151 is a retired 15-inch clear ice machine. The listing offers only the width and the type, so we read the tag when we arrive and base every decision on what the machine does.
Clear ice machines freeze water in a sheet and then release it, which makes them sensitive to scale, water flow and harvest timing. We begin with the water supply and fill, then the evaporator surface, then a full freeze and harvest cycle. The drain is traced for blockages, and the condenser area is cleaned. If the compressor does not start, the controls and start parts are tested before any replacement is suggested.
Your written price comes first, and repairs are covered by a 30-day workmanship warranty.
It freezes a sheet of ice and releases it, so scale, water flow and harvest timing matter. We clean the evaporator and test the harvest cycle along with the usual water and drain checks.
Mineral content, low water flow or a dirty evaporator can cloud the ice. We descale the machine, clear the water path and check that the fill completes.
Note when the ice stopped, whether the compressor runs, and whether water is pooling. Keep the area around the machine clear so we can reach it.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
