JennAir 15-Inch Pump Ice Machine JIM159XYRS Service
The JIM159XYRS is an undercounter ice machine with a drain pump already installed, a good fit for basements, bars and remodeled kitchens where a standard drain would be hard to reach. That pump is what separates it from the JIM158 units, so most service calls on it come back to moving water out.
We check the pump run, the float switch and the discharge line for kinks or buildup, then test the inlet valve and look for scale on the freezing plate. A quick clean often restores a pump that only seems dead. We also run a full harvest cycle after the repair to prove that water leaves the sump and the bin fills normally.
Every quote is given in writing before we work, and repairs have a 30-day workmanship warranty.
The JIM159XYRS has a drain pump from the start, so it can send melt water to a higher or distant drain. The JIM158 style relies on gravity. That makes the pump and its line a key service point.
Switch off the water supply valve and unplug the unit, then call us. Often the pump has stopped or the hose is blocked. We clear the discharge, test the float and confirm water leaves the sump.
Yes, occasionally. Mineral deposits and slime can build up in the pump area and the hose. Cleaning the machine once or twice a year helps, and we check the pump whenever we descale the unit.
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.
