U-Line 3018CLR Clear Ice Repair

U-Line ice maker model

Most common issues on this model

  1. Cloudy cubes from a filter or water-flow problem
  2. Scale stretching the freeze cycle and cutting output
  3. Backed-up water from a blocked drain line

The 3018CLR makes clear ice by freezing slowly, and it stands in the Modular 3000 Series next to refrigerator, wine or freezer modules. At 18 inches wide it fits a bar run or kitchen row where the cabinet faces line up and the water line and drain are hidden behind the toe space.

Clear cubes depend on water quality and flow, so the first thing we look at is the supply line and filter. Cloudy ice points to a water problem. A freeze cycle that runs longer than before points to scale on the freezing surface, which we clean with a descaling process.

If water backs up, we trace the drain line from the cabinet to the connection. The price is written before we start, and a 30-day warranty follows the repair.

3018CLR3018CLR questions
The ice in my 3018CLR turned cloudy. Why?

Cloudy cubes come from poor water flow, an exhausted filter or mineral build-up. We check the supply, replace the filter and clean the freezing surface, then run a cycle to confirm the cubes are clear.

How do you descale a clear ice machine?

We run a descaling solution through the water system, clean the freezing surface by hand, and rinse the cabinet fully before it makes ice again, so no taste carries into the first batch.

Water is pooling in the cabinet. Where does it come from?

A blocked drain line or a crimped hose. We trace the line to its connection, clear the blockage and test the drain with water before we close the cabinet.
