Hoshizaki Ice machine beeping

[@JuanTodoli]

As Chris does, you have a gift: Explaining things. Good one on that nugget Bill 👍

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Much appreciated Juan

[@JuanTodoli]

@@curioushvacguy6876 You're welcome.

[@josephmettes9147]

Thanks for the video Bill! I definitely like the tech tip of removing the control area to gain better access to change the water valve. Will definitely be using that one soon I'm sure.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Glad you liked it Joseph and thanks for watching

[@IFIXCASTLES]

My company uses hoshizaki cubers exclusively so seeing a nugget machine was nice. Thanks and good repair!

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Thanks Greg

[@ares3914]

I appreciate this video especially things you don't see everyday. Your a great tech and i enjoy your videos

[@natepeterson7145]

That's a cool ice machine . Good work again!

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Thanks Nathan

[@jimmyp5487]

Service 7-Eleven’s and they just moved to these hoshizaki flakers. Pretty simple units. Good video 🤘

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Thanks

[@jimmyp5487]

Curious HVAC Guy ... got your stickers on the mail I appreciate it brother. Was weird when the envelope got delivered it was opened but all the stickers were still in there. 🤘

I remember when I was a teen, eating at a restaurant, they had the cover off of their crushed ice machine and it used a vertical drum, water ran down the drum and froze, then a lawnmower reel blade came motoring around and cut the ice off. I could watch that for an hour!

[@FireandFrostHVAC]

The water components looked surprisingly clean, I wonder if it was recently serviced and a cleaner removed some built up scale from the fill valve that in turn exposed the wear issue. I don’t see a lot of cubers with augers in my area, just a few flakers here and there. Good video, thanks!

[@curioushvacguy6876]

You may be right, over the last 4 years Ive worked on less and less ice machines for some reason, one day ill get back into the swing of things and be able to understand the cause of some of these issues

[@jeffrobison2013]

the nugget machines work just like a flaker except they have an extruder on top the ice is forced thru to make the nuggets. I was self taught on the old scottsman flakers from back in the 70s. I had 3 of them i rebuilt and used for several years.

[@Eddy63]

Good vid Bill ... And nice catch on the power cord ... 12 AWG on 20 amp breaker ...

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Thanks for watching, always appreciate the feedback

[@atouchofa.d.d.5852]

The maintenance guys will do the p.m. That's pretty funny

[@curioushvacguy6876]

lol- yeah well see on my next visit

[@jpp9876]

Those water valves operate like low voltage irrigation valves do. That solenoid moves a needle that allows the water to leak down stream which the existing water pressure then is able to push the diaphram open. De-energized and the needle is pushed back in place preventing the water to bleed through. The water pressure then fills up the back side of the diaphram which equalizes water pressure on both sides of the diaphram. With the help of the spring adding just a little more pressure it forces the valve closed.

[@Sctronic209]

I don’t work on ice machines that often but it is kind of fun when I get the chance.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

I completely agree

[@brainndamage]

Is the water inlet filtered? Could be just crud from the incoming water supply.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

It is filtered but since we dont change them I have no idea when they where changed last

[@saltrue1555]

That was very good video, like always thank you very much for your teaching, stay safe,God Bless and your teaching is very appreciate it,we’ve learned allot, thanks again.

[@LoneWolf-qr4mn]

Hello got a question can you get a certification on training and working on ice machines how do you go about get information and what websites can i look for i find a few similar out of state im from michigan looking for one here im in hvac/r class refrigeration can you give me some pointer

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Hey Lone wolf- Ive heard of a really good Ice machine program put on by CFESA- I believe that is in North Carolina. The othere option would be to go to either Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Follet or Scotsmans factory training programs- these usually are free if your a warranty provider, if not then you would have to pay. Ive been to the Manitowac class and it was really good- I would recommend going to that class first then Hosizaki. Hope that helps

[@soloch69]

Great 👍🏻 video like always bro thank you for sharing your skills keep up the great work and keep them videos coming

[@Robyrich2377]

Good job dude,,, good job as well in explaining...

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Thanks Robert, I appreciate the feedback

[@bryantylerservices]

Awesome video! Great quality machine.. The head ( excruciating) valve by auger, i believe its named looks fine on machine,and definitely good call on wire nut rigged cord replacement and some nickle safe cleaner( pm), on the plate will really help. Awesome video. Bryan Tyler Refrigeration

[@curioushvacguy6876]

lol yeah that power cord was a maintenance guy special

[@laskalives]

gotta love those wire nuts on that electrical cord exposed to an environment full of moisture with no protection....

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Its crazy sometimes the things we see in the field

[@jimbola77]

Thanks Yamo

[@DW-bo3qw]

I think Hoshizaki calls that the extruding head

[@josephmettes9147]

I believe so as well.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

That sounds like its right, thanks for the feedback- learned something today

[@dunckeroo1987]

Shucks, at first glace I though it was a slush machine. A weird way to make Ice.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

I wish it was a slushie machine, Ive never gotten to work on one of those- they seem pretty neat. Thanks for watching
