1. Compressor: The compressor is the heart of the ice machine. It compresses the refrigerant gas and circulates it through the system.
2. Condenser: The condenser is a heat exchanger that cools the refrigerant gas and turns it into a liquid.
3. Expansion valve: The expansion valve controls the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator.
4. Evaporator: The evaporator is a heat exchanger that absorbs heat from the water and turns it into ice.
5. Water filter: The water filter removes impurities from the water before it enters the ice machine.
6. Ice bin: The ice bin stores the ice that is produced by the ice machine.
7. Drain: The drain allows water to drain from the ice machine.
8. Electrical controls: The electrical controls regulate the operation of the ice machine.
9. Ice cube trays: These are usually plastic and are where the water will freeze into ice.
10. Solenoid valve: This part controls the flow of water into the ice cube trays.
11. Harvestor: This part removes the ice cubes from the trays.
12. Pump: This part pumps water to and from the machine.
13. Motor: This part powers the harvestor and pump.
14. Housing: This part encases the ice machine and protects the components from damage.
