Facts..I am in the appliance tech field and looking to add this skill set

[@pvtgarry]

Been watching and subscribed! You helped me a bunch. I have been teaching myself and have been thrown for a loop more than once. Thank you. Also great teaching for new a guy.

[@IceMachine411]

This is so awesome to hear. I’m glad you’ve found the videos helpful. Thank you for supporting this channel.

Great teaching moment. I’m still new in the industry.. going two years. My boss drills in us, learn the sequence of operations of all ice machines…learn learn learn it…very intimidating as we’ve all started out. Not wanting to make a wrong guess, but, it’s how we learn.

[@IceMachine411]

I use to think the sequence of operations was dumb but learned pretty quickly how important it is. Just having a good idea of what it’s supposed to do will help out tremendously.

Good video. Could you upload more videos like this troubleshooting. I'm your follower.

[@IceMachine411]

I will do my best to kinda hard to find people who want to be recorded and a good setting. I’ll definitely do my best.

[@Hudson12339]

Love these type of videos man! I’m about a year into the industry so far and loving it! I mainly do PMs at the moment but I get opportunities to learn and diagnose fairly regularly. Every time I come across a piece of equipment I try to learn something new about it 🫡

[@IceMachine411]

That’s a perfect way to start! Really glad you’re enjoying the videos and finding them helpful.

Man Please keep them coming your vids have helped me alot, had a ice guide break off and get stuck in the dump valve on a hoshi last friday.

[@IceMachine411]

I glad the videos are helping. Ice guide bits in the dump valve is a good find! A lot of people miss that. Good job! 👍

Hello. I have manitowoc under counter ice machine for my coffeehouse and for some reason after about 7 cycles the water turns very hot. I turn it off for about an hour and then it's fine. A week ago it took out the all the ice and pulled the top off and spent 2 hours cleaning it. It seems like something is getting stuck open but I don't know. Any help would be great.

[@IceMachine411]

Sounds like you have a bad hot gas valve. The hot gas valve opens to allow the ice sheet to warm up and fall. Sometimes they get stuck open. If your machine is under warranty Manitowoc will fix it for free. For Manitowoc Technical Support call 800-247-4520

I have the same HPCO delay。I even bypassed the HPCO by directly connecting the high pressure switches, but it still showed the HPCO warning even the pressure was normal. So I bought a new board, after new board installation, it wouldn’t run although no HPCO warning. Water just keeps circulating, but compressor wouldn’t kick on. Do you have any idea what’s wrong with it? Thank you

[@calvinthompson5398]

That’s allot of issues. Is it air cooled? Fan must have been running if your pressures were normal. Must have been running to have normal pressures at some point I’d check power voltage to contactor and then all your start components.

[@IceMachine411]

Without being in front of the machine or on the phone with a technician it’s hard to determine what is going on with your machine. I’d recommend calling Manitowoc Tech Support. They have a team of experts who are very knowledgeable and can assist you with your problem.

[@garza7676]

I’d jump the condenser fan switch . Fan Turns on . Then you have a bad switch.

[@ghostface4072]

He said in the video fan cycle control was already bypassed / jumped out

[@IceMachine411]

That would be a good way to determine if the switch is bad.
