About the BI98
Mounted below a bar or kitchen counter, the BI98 runs on mechanical controls with no display, so the only report it gives is what the machine does: less ice, wet ice, or none. It makes crescent ice through a harvest cycle.
For a BI98, we inspect the evaporator plate first, since scale there prevents a clean release and leaves the cycle stalled or dropping partial cubes. An inlet valve that seeps and floods the mold is next, then the parts that help the compressor start. We also time a full harvest. The price is put in writing before work begins.
What we check on a BI98 visit
- Evaporator plate scale, when cubes release poorly
- Water valve seepage, when the mold floods
- Compressor start parts, when it does not start

Does the BI98 show error codes?
No. It uses mechanical controls without a display, so we diagnose it by watching the cycle and testing the valve, plate and start parts directly.
Why is the ice from my BI98 stuck together?
When an inlet valve seeps, the mold takes on too much water and cubes freeze into clumps. Scale on the plate can also keep pieces from releasing, so we check both.
