Yes, most ice makers are designed to run continuously, so you can leave them on overnight. Many models even feature an automatic shutoff function that stops ice production once the storage bin is full.

However, if you won’t be using your ice maker for a while, here are some tips:

Turn off the water supply to the ice maker or refrigerator.

Switch off the ice maker to conserve energy.

For added convenience, you might consider a portable ice maker with an automatic timer, allowing you to schedule when the machine starts or stops.
