How Does an Ice Maker Work?

For refrigerators, ice makers have to be hooked up to the same power source as the unit for operation and a plumbing line that will provide fresh water to create the frozen cubes. They feature an electric motor, a water valve and a heating element. Once started, ice makers go through a cycle that sends a current to the water valve that lets in just enough liquid to fill the cubed molds. Next, the machine waits for the water to freeze as programmed with its built-in thermostat. The heating element underneath the mold warms the bottom just enough to loosen the cubes, then the ejector blades are activated to push the ice into a bin.

In commercial ice makers, they will feature a metal ice tray that's connected to coiled heat exchange pipes. It has a compressor that drives refrigerant to the condenser that then releases it into an evaporator. This cycling creates a gas that cools the metal tray. Water is drawn from a sump pump that then pours over the chilled tray gradually to form clear cubes. Just like in a refrigerator, the heating element warms the ice and releases it.
