JennAir JIM159XYCX Ice Machine With Drain Pump
Unlike a gravity-drain unit, the JIM159XYCX has a drain pump built in, which lets it work where the floor drain is lower than the cabinet or far away. It is also made for a custom panel, so it usually blends into a kitchen or home bar, and the pump is tucked behind the panel and toe area.
When this model leaks or stops making ice, the pump and its small drain line are the first things we test. A kinked hose, a stuck float or slime in the line can keep water from leaving. After that we check scale, the inlet valve and the door seal.
You see the price in writing first, and the work comes with a 30-day warranty.
It lifts melt water and defrost water up and out to a drain that sits higher than the machine, so no gravity run is needed. If it fails, water collects in the base and the machine can shut down.
The pump may not be running, the float could be stuck, or the discharge hose might be kinked or clogged. We run the pump, flush the line and clear the sump. Fixing it prevents damage to the cabinet floor.
A loud pump usually has debris or a failing motor. The ice is generally safe, but the pump may stop working without warning and flood the base. We recommend a prompt visit if the noise is new.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
