@IceMachine411 well i havent been back to the call, iassumed it was a fan cycle switch but 2nd time i visited the the water pump also wouldnt cut on, only thing would cut on is the compressor, i just couldnt believe the punp went out right after, has to be something else right?

Awesome mate, really enjoying your videos… and learning a lot from you, I have some iceomatics in my service run here in Australia… keep up the great work 🙌🏼

[@IceMachine411]

Awesome brother! Thank you.

I’m thinking of bypassed the switch and let it runs while I’m there at the shop. Will there by long term damage if I do that? Thank you so much.

[@IceMachine411]

There will be no long term damage. Iceomatic has been shipping machines with the switch bypassed. Only possible issue is if it’s super cold outside. The fan will need to be able to turn off if it’s too cold.

Are you using voice isolation constantly? Use it

Nice work!!! How did you bypass the filter?

[@IceMachine411]

Thanks. There’s an o-ring on the filter that can be removed to bypass the filter.

Wow nice work I just subscribed your channel and I like it man I will check the rest of your videos

[@IceMachine411]

Right on brother. I hope you enjoy and find them helpful.

[@narudreivaj3163]

I didnt know that you can pinch and unpinch the copper line

[@IceMachine411]

It is a method that is recommended by some manufacturers. I would double check with your specific manufacturer. Also the pinch off method is not an easy task and there are risks involved. Proceed with caution!⚠️

Nice

[@edgar-_-5419]

I thought u could just bypass the switch instead of replacing it?

[@IceMachine411]

You could do that also. I think iom ships new machines with the fan cycle switch bypassed.

[@imech27]

@@IceMachine411 would this not cause an issue by bypassing it?
