Hard water is the usual enemy of ice makers around Lakeside, Alpine & Jamul: mineral scale narrows the fill tube and coats the mold until production drops off. A descale and a new filter sometimes solve it; a failing inlet valve needs replacing.
Backcountry addresses take longer to reach and some are on propane or well water, which matters for gas and water-fed appliances.

Nugget and portable units
Nugget machines freeze water onto the inside of a refrigerated cylinder, and a motor-driven auger scrapes the ice off, pushing it up through a die that compresses it into soft pellets. The auger motor, its gearbox and the bearings work hard, and hard water forms scale on the cylinder wall that makes the auger strain and squeal. Regular descaling matters more on nugget machines than on any other type.
Portable countertop units dip metal prongs into a reservoir, freeze bullet-shaped ice around them, then briefly heat the prongs to release it. They are inexpensive and convenient, but they are not built for long service; pump and sensor failures on an older portable unit often cost more to fix than the machine is worth.
