[@brucemcnair887]

[@takleung7130]

Johnny you are sooooo right!!

[@-Gadget-]

Too True. I had a friend that used to own a restaurant here in my country, and his establishment was the Only place I would dare eat at due to him being the most full of crap person I have ever seen when it came to hygiene. Besides the daily "Sterilising" of the entire place, every other day he would have ALL his staff (Himself included, and myself on the odd occasion) cleaning extractors, walk in freezers, shelves for glasses, canned goods (Cream, olives etc), dispatch and delivery, main office, and even under the tables picking off gum that the patrons stuck onto the bottom of the tables. Needless to say, the staff and waiters did not love him very much, but he more than made up for it with wages and incentives 🤷🤷🤷

[@DaddyBeanDaddyBean]

When I was a wee lad back in the day - 1990's - I worked in a commercial kitchen than didn't like to spend money on anything. The ice machine stopped making ice; the water inlet was controlled by a float valve, and I found the float, um, floating. A pin had vanished out of its linkage, so it fell off, and the valve was running new water into the machine full-bore. Unwisely, I told the boss I could jury-rig it for now with a paperclip, to reconnect the linkage and get the inlet valve working again, but it would be very much a temporary fix and they needed to get the correct part. He said go ahead, and I did, and it worked. I don't remember how many days or weeks it lasted, but it didn't take long for that paperclip to rust through and the float to fall off again. This, of course, was my fault - "What do you mean it's broken again? You said you could fix it!" Good times.

[@MadMax-yq9ix]

Replace the paper clip every two weeks

[@DaddyBeanDaddyBean]

I should have thought of that. 8-) I also should have burned all the ice and searched more carefully for that pin - theoretically, it might have gone through the water pump, and ended up in an ice cube, and then in the bin, and then in a kid's small intestine.

I remember when I used to work at 7-Eleven Corp stores, the ice machine would be cleaned every month like clock work. Now I see why. If they had some kinda water treatment to pull that calcium out before hand, that likely would have stopped this machine from getting as bad as it was (unless they did and that wasn't being maintained as well). I can't believe they were using that machine for customers.

Fyi : For the New Guys Out there --- if u Have Heavy scale on The Plastic Parts of the ice machine. You CAN get Rid of EVERY spec of it. This is ONLY for Plastic parts ---- You can use Full strength ice machine cleaner or Full strength nickel safe on Plastic only ! You put it in a Spray bottle , Label it Full Strength , Then Spray it on ANY scale Wait a Few seconds and it will start eating / Foaming away at the scale. Lightscrub with a Stiff brush after 1 minute , Then Keep spraying on area till gone. , SPRAY Wait a Few minutes till foaming stops , then light scrub , Repeat , SPRAY till foaming starts, wait till it stops , then light scrub , Repeat. WEAR Eye Protection !!! ice machine cleaner is acid. ! Let the ice Machine cleaner do the Hard Work. not the scrubbing. Let the acid loosen the scale , then wipe it away. Spray , then wipe it away Repeat. The Scale neutralizes the acid , Thats why You Have to continually Add More ice machine cleaner / acid to the scale.

[@robertarnold6672]

We have a refrigeration company that comes out to clean our Hoshizaki Ice Machines but sad to say, they never come close to looking like the machines you service. To be honest, its hard to tell that they were ever cleaned to begin with & my employer keeps paying them! They are always looking for the cheapest price & like we all know you get what you pay for. I think these guys just clean the filter element & cycle chemicals through the machine & call it done. I always find missing screws, dirt, dust & the auger/gear motor assembly always looks like it was been sitting at the bottom of the ocean for a few years due to all the scale buildup on the housing. I wish we had the manpower & staffing so we could do our own or be able to hire your company to perform our ice machine PM's.

[@robertarnold6672]

@T.Overton0413 When I perform a PM, you can tell someone has been there. Yes, things are not always perfect but you can see the results. Not much of a attempt is being made to clean the machines & they do not get taken apart by our vendors. I'm not too concerned with the hoses, its the lack of overall effort to attempt to properly clean the machine.

[@robertarnold6672]

@T.Overton0413 The management here is our problem. I am located in San Diego, CA. They do not want to pay for the best. The problem is cheap labor always costs you 3 times as much in the end when they have to keep coming back.

[@Lewdacris916]

0:04 "Gnarly" A VERY appropriate word to use on something that dispenses something humans consume, as to how "Filthy" it is. Here in my country, we use "Siff" which loosely translated means either "Putrid" or if you had to break it down to an actual definition could be summed up as "Disgustingly filthy, slimy, gross and growing foreign bodies that should not be within 1KM of said "Siff" unit" However, I personally think "Gnarly" encompasses the above statement quite adequately, and use it when I find something that Disturbs my psyche in such a way that I land up having nightmares thinking about what goes on behind the scenes in hotels and restaurants 👍👍👍

Watching this again I just noticed the water filter cartridges (OptiPure(R)) on the wall. Wondering the change schedule if they feed the ice machines.....?

[@brs4389]

Do you stock the water inlet valve, water level probe/sensor, and thickness sensors on your truck?

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Yes

[@jsantos601]

I have a Manitowoc that's over filling after a good completed cycle/s. I have cleaned it thoroughly with Manitowoc cleaner and sanitzed it as well with Manitowoc sanitizing solution. It runs properly till I leave I get a call back that it keeps over filling. Basically the entire time that I'm there It runs and the customer says it runs a couple of hours and then it starts overflowing. I have cleaned it twice already. I have replaced the water level probe and the wire harness for the probe. Still same issue. Would you happen to know why? Great video btw 👍 the 2nd time I cleaned it I followed your steps in this video except I used Manitowoc brand cleaners.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

The water inlet valve might be sticking open, is the machine an indigo model?

[@jsantos601]

I replaced that as well. Yes it's an indigo. Model IY1106A-261 Manitowoc. So far what has been done to it has been 2 cleans, replaced water inlet, water probe and wire probe harness. On the display when I go to inputs and check when "water high and low" touch water, the low stays on "no" even after it's touching water. And it only changes to "yes" when water high touches water but water high sometimes stays stuck on no causing the over flow. I have called Manitowoc and explained the same but they have no answer and will send me a board hopefully next week.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Interesting yeah I imagine the board is the next best option

[@jsantos601]

I hope it's the board. Previous guy was the one who replaced the inlet valve and the thickness probe. He couldn't fix it. I came in after and have replaced water probe and harness and next board. I did notice that the previous guy put his vice grips on the water level probe to bring it down and have the water shut off earlier than what it would shut off if it was in the normal position where it clips to hold it in place. I'm assuming Reason he did that was because the display takes like 8 seconds to change from "no" to "yes" and shut off the inlet. It seems to be working that way so I left it like that too. Thing is, when I leave after a couple of cycles it starts overflowing and then I get the call. Today I waited 2 hours just watching the machine operate and it seemed like it's fine. Hopefully it stays that way. I will still replace the board to make sure and leave it as if it came out from the manufacturer

This is why government and health departments and inspectors exist. You can't trust the "free market" to enforce hygiene regulations. People must do the inspections. Regularly.

[@royamberg9177]

@@OcRefrig that is true. Dirty as hell

[@Eastsidewilmas13]

What supply house u get that viper nickel safe at? Haven’t seen them at allied refrigeration or RSD

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Allied will have to order it for you

[@alantorrance6153]

How is it that the relevant licencing and health authorities have not closed the outfit down for lack of machine hygiene?????????? They deserve to be prosecuted for dangers to health. This is quite apart from the dangers to the machinery.

Nice job good tech and you know he gives a shit about his work ,there are so many lazy lads out there even to get out of the van is a big deal for them 👍

[@TheNemosdaddy]

I know it looks bad, but really it's just calcium/mineral buildup and that slime is bacterial buildup from the water.

[@heatherlouise814]

just slimey bacterial buildup.

[@Misha-dr9rh]

You're doing a pretty shitty job of downplaying it. "What's that slime?" "Oh yeah, it's just bacterial buildup"

[@kensue305]

The water doesn’t come out of ours. Bought a house and the machine came with it. I have no idea what to do

[@SovereignTroll]

Check out Nor-Cal "Dirty Ice Machines" posted 2 June. I think he is new winner.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Yeah Dave has some nasty ones for sure

[@mamcg20]

Still has mold in the corners inside and out the ice machine. Can’t really call it sanitized when it’s still contaminated.

[@TheLenaweeTrekker]

"That's dinner."🤣🤣🤣🤣 Far be it for me to criticize another's dietary choices🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seriously, I showed a helper what what comes out of the water supply line, and he quit the next day.
