Let $Z$ be the center of a nonnoetherian dimer algebra on a torus. We show
that the nilradical $\operatorname{nil}Z$ of $Z$ is prime, may be nonzero, and
consists precisely of the central elements that vanish under a cyclic
contraction. This implies that the nonnoetherian scheme $\operatorname{Spec}Z$
is irreducible. We also show that the reduced center $\hat{Z} =
Z/\operatorname{nil}Z$ embeds into the center $R$ of the corresponding homotopy
algebra, and that their normalizations are equal. Finally, we characterize the
normality of $R$, and show that if $\hat{Z}$ is normal, then it has the special
form $k + J$ where $J$ is an ideal of the cycle algebra.
