February 25, 2010 – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Scotsman Group LLC, of Vernon Hills, Ill., today announced a voluntary recall of Scotsman® Commercial Modular Cube Ice Machines (Modular Cubers).
The recalled machines are designed to be installed on top of ice storage bins or ice dispensers, and typically are used in commercial establishments. Model numbers begin with C0322, C0330, C0522, C0530, C0630, C0830, C1030, C1448, C1848, C2148, EH130, EH222, EH330, or EH430, and serial numbers of the recalled machines within these model designations begin with 05, 06, 07, 08 or 09. Model and serial numbers are on the back of all machines and, depending on the model, behind the machine’s front panel either in the lower right corner of the machine or on the left side of the sheet metal wall that separates the larger (equipment) compartment from the smaller (ice-making) compartment.
The solenoid, an electrical component in the product, can fail and result in an electrical arc that can pose a fire hazard.
Scotsman® commercial flake and nugget ice machines, commercial undercounter cube ice machines, and residential ice machines are not involved in this recall.
Approximately 43,000 ice makers have been sold exclusively at commercial food service equipment distributors and dealers nationwide from September 2006 through December 2009 for between $4,000 and $14,000.
The company has received four reports of fires and 37 reports of burned or melted components, resulting in replacement of machines and component parts. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
