Ice Machine Harvest FIxed!!!!!!!

[@benp8366]

If you leave a cup or scoop inside the machine, it will end up buried at the bottom as the ice inside melts and the machine fills. Just a friendly FYI in case you didn't know

[@armandomanzon5380]

Hi sir what did you change..i have similar problem now to mu manitowoc ice cibe machine .

[@lauraherrera4078]

Hi I have a prodigy Scotsman C022SA, I cleaned it out yesterday but now it has stopped harvesting ice and flashed code 2? Any advice on how to fix it?

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Check discharge line temp at compressor you need 130 degrees at the end of the freeze cycle for proper harvest, might not get it with that compressor, but that's what you look for on a normal one. Did you replace txv to a R134a txv? You did good on this.

[@joeshearer1247]

Actually discharge is between 145 and 160 depending on the temp outside but it plummets as soon as it enters harvest. Luckily it has just enough heat to release the ice. No I didn't change the txv it's a cap tube system. Thanks for the comment I was hoping you would.

[@hushamabbas3980]

How does the evaporator heats up in ice machine

[@joeyf504327]

DC is actually very easy to work with.. Inductors, Capacitors, Resistors, etc... But cool simple fix!

[@joeshearer1247]

Thanks man I just meant I didn't have any way to delay that open signal by just a few seconds longer since it is DC volt and everything I have is for 24vac. What would you recommend?

[@jessicashearer8326]

Proud of you Hun!

[@abinca6644]

Scotosman ice machine mv 606 continue 2 flashes. Already adjust the ice thickness sensor.. Please rply

[@jonnymac31]

Sweet bro. The best repairs are simple.

[@joeshearer1247]

Yes that they are ! Thanks buddy

[@MsChivas2007]

Now you need to pattern you invention lol. Enjoy the fresh ice

[@OlGoodJoe]

I know I'm late to this party but if you just thickened the bridge a tad it would have had the same effect. You are running your ice too thin.

[@nicholasceea4109]

Nice fix...I enjoyed the series.

[@ReneeMaser]

I just Watch your video Of the scotchman ice machine you working on? The white I Ice you see on that pipe above your compressor. That's a Sin 2 say that your unit is blowing free on.

[@20antman]

you can sell that machine to a Chinese restaurant. They will be happy to buy it, That is pretty much how all there refrigeration equipment is running anyways (tape & Bunjy cords). Good fix

[@joeshearer1247]

Lol actually the guy I got it from wanted first chance to buy it if I got it running again. But we are enjoying the ice this thing makes for now!

[@ReneeMaser]

I just watched your video on your scotsman

[@ReneeMaser]

The white ice you see on the pipe above your Compressor is a sign that says you are low on free on.

[@jamesedwardperry]

Ice bridge thickness is too thick. Do i just move swirch settings to half cube settings?

[@CaLuHeGu]

I have a question, sometimes, the scotsman ice machine stays in "harvest time blinks" and then turns off the machine, then a few seconds later starts the machine again. is this normal?

[@jmcstore]

Yes

[@rippinlip12]

What kind of band did you use

[@zakirhossien5092]

Hi sir I have ice machine that problem it’s 4.5 time drop ice and light coming high pressure and alarm what you think that

[@joeshearer1247]

Zakir Hossien try cleaning the coils and check the fan

[@zakirhossien5092]

Joe Shearer sir fan ok coil also clean I ask sir for txv can Happen like that

[@thundervee]

Good thing you got it fixed, cause you’re gonna need ice for your nuts if I see you for making me sit through this whole video to see a fuckin bungee cord! 😂😂

[@joeshearer1247]

Thundervee I've got lots of ice. Bungee cord is still working!

[@thundervee]

Joe Shearer 10-4 man. Glad it’s workin out!

[@gonzgarr1592]

great fix

[@zeke112964]

Keep it simple...I like the fix!

[@joeshearer1247]

Thanks for watching zeke

[@kellydouglas9402]

lols this guy, thats just the harvest door. you probably bumped the bridge thickness and got it going again,

[@justin0957]

Is this still working?

[@joeshearer1247]

Justin Hernandez yea

[@justin0957]

Who's doing the maintenance? Dave Jones?

[@joeshearer1247]

Of course he does made sure my compressor was phased correct and the water was wet enough to make ice

[@justin0957]

Here at Dave Jones refrigeration we do a 12 point water wetness test on all your equipment using the latest imanfold technology. We determine if you have fresh water, salt water, how wet the water is. Check calcium, minerals and potassium levels. Give us a call today!!

[@joeshearer1247]

Would start by saying, ok guys what I want to talk about today is water wetness.

[@Jeepjones85]

I’m glad this worked for you but there is still an underlying issue

[@joeshearer1247]

Yes I know i built this thing with spare compressor from a household refrigerator.

[@Jeepjones85]

Joe Shearer Well that’s cool 😎 if it works it’s works ! 👍🏻
