U-Line U-BI1215SOD Outdoor Ice Repair

U-Line ice maker model

Most common issues on this model

  1. Condenser fouled with outdoor dust and pollen
  2. Water line freezing without winter drain-down
  3. Scale on the freezing surface cutting output
  4. Drain blocked in an island installation

The U-BI1215SOD is a 15-inch built-in ice maker from the outdoor (1000) series, and it has an on/off switch on the cabinet. That switch is worth knowing about: before cold weather you turn the machine off, and when it will not start, we check that switch before anything else.

Outdoors, the main wear is dirt and temperature. Pollen, leaves and dust pack the condenser, and the machine slows in summer. Water left in the supply line cracks fittings in a freeze. We clean the condenser, check the drain run from the island, and look at the inlet valve and line.

We give you the price in writing before replacing parts, and the work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty. Island installations also get a look at the receptacle and cord, since wet outlets cause as many service calls as the ice maker itself.

U-BI1215SODU-BI1215SOD questions
The machine will not start. What do you check first?

We begin with the power supply and the on/off switch, then the water inlet and bin thermostat. Outdoor units lose power to wet connections as well, so we inspect the outlet and the cord.

How should I prepare it for winter?

Turn the machine off with the switch, shut the supply, and drain the water line. Water left inside expands and cracks fittings. We can drain and inspect the system before the first freeze.

Why does ice production fall in summer?

A dirty condenser and hot air around the cabinet both lengthen the cycle. We clean the coil, check the fan, and make sure the island leaves the cabinet room to vent.
