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.
