Repairing Opal Nugget/Chewable Ice Machines

Before ordering anything for an Opal nugget/chewable ice machine, we look up the exact model number. Parts that look alike often differ between production runs, and matching the model avoids repeat visits.

How we repair your Opal Nugget/Chewable Ice Machine

A nugget or chewable ice machine is a built-in undercounter unit that freezes water on a cylinder and compresses the flakes into soft, chewable nuggets. Every nugget/chewable ice machine combines a water inlet valve, a freezing surface or mold, a harvest system and sensors that tell it when the bin is full. A technician checks water supply and pressure, scale buildup and sensor operation before testing the refrigeration side.

Before you call

Quick checks you can do safely

  • Replace the water filter if it is due.
  • Clean the front grille.
  • Check that the drain line is not kinked or blocked.
