How Room Temperature Affects Ice Production

Why Ice is Melting in JennAir Undercounter Ice Maker

Discovering ice melting in your undercounter ice maker can be quite inconvenient, especially when you're depending on it for gatherings or daily refreshment needs. Understanding the root causes of this issue is key to maintaining peak performance and ensuring your ice remains solid when needed. This guide delves into the common reasons for ice melting, offers troubleshooting tips specific to JennAir undercounter ice makers, and outlines preventive measures to keep your ice bin stocked with solid ice. 

Reasons for Ice Melting

When ice begins to melt in the ice bin of your undercounter ice maker, it's important to identify the common factors that could be affecting ice quality. Ambient temperature is a primary consideration; a warm environment can cause the ice to melt faster than it can be produced. This is particularly relevant for undercounter models, which might be located in warmer parts of your kitchen or bar area. If the room temperature exceeds 90°F (32°C), typically, ice production will be reduced. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will occur. The amount of melting varies with room temperature.  Ensuring that your ice maker is placed in a well-ventilated, temperature-controlled location can help alleviate this issue.
