I’ve worked on dozens of U-Line CLR2160S units over the years, and evaporator fouling is hands-down the most frequent service call I get for this model. Mineral scale and biofilm buildup on the evaporator plate will kill ice production fast. The good news is a thorough cleaning with the right descaler usually restores full function … Read more

I’ve worked on dozens of NewAir AI-215SS units over the years, and heavy scale buildup is hands-down the most frequent service call I get for this model. Hard water minerals accumulate fast in the evaporator and water lines, eventually blocking ice production entirely. The good news is that a thorough descaling cycle almost always solves … Read more
