There are several reasons why the flake ice machine stops running 5 to 10 minutes after starting up:

Temperature control: Some flake ice machines are designed to stop automatically when the ice reaches a certain thickness or the temperature inside the machine drops to a preset value. This is usually the function of the temperature controller, which cuts off the power supply after detecting that the temperature has reached the set point to prevent over-refrigeration.

Self-protection mechanism: If the flake ice machine overheats or detects an abnormal situation (such as too low water level, insufficient water flow, etc.), the flake ice machine will activate the self-protection function and temporarily stop running to prevent damage to the equipment.

Water system problem: If there is a problem with the water supply system, such as water supply interruption or insufficient water pressure, the flake ice machine may stop running.

Electrical failure: Problems with electrical components such as relays and contactors may also cause the machine to stop suddenly.

Maintenance needs: If the flake ice maker machine has not been cleaned and maintained for a long time, it may affect normal operation due to scale accumulation or blockage, and unscheduled shutdowns may also occur at this time.

Sensor failure: Failure of components such as temperature sensors or water flow sensors may cause the control system to mistakenly believe that the preset conditions have been reached, thereby triggering a shutdown.
