  • Page 36: General

    A dirty ice machine must be disassembled, descaled, and sanitized. Manitowoc ice machine cleaner/descaler and sanitizer are the only products approved for use on Manitowoc ice machines. Caution Use only Manitowoc approved cleaner/descaler (Part Number 9405463) and sanitizer (Part Number 9405653).
  • Page 37: Cleaning/Descaling & Sanitizing Procedure

    Cleaning/Descaling & Sanitizing Procedure Descale and sanitize the ice machine at least every six months. • The ice machine and storage bin should be descaled and sanitized separately. • All ice cubes must be discarded during descaling and sanitizing. • Remove all mineral deposits in areas in direct contact with water.
  • Page 38: Exterior Cleaning

    EXTERIOR CLEANING Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient operation. Wipe any dust and dirt off the surface of the ice machine with a damp cloth, and wipe any oil off with a cloth dampened with a soap solution.
  • Page 39: Detailed Descaling & Sanitizing Procedure

    Detailed Descaling & Sanitizing Procedure Caution Use only Manitowoc approved cleaner/descaler (Part Number 9405463) and sanitizer (Part Number 9405653). Failure to follow the instructions on the label will violate relevant laws. Read and understand all instructions on the package before use.

  • Page 49: Cleaning The Condenser

    Cleaning the Condenser Warning Disconnect electric power to the ice machine before performing maintenance on equipment. AIR-COOLED CONDENSER A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production and shortens component life. Clean the condenser at least every six months. 1.

  • Page 52: Ice Machine Will Not Run

    Ice Machine Will Not Run Nothing on the ice machine will operate (compressor, water pump, condenser fan motor). If any component runs this procedure can be skipped, move on to the next diagnostic (water pump won’t run, compressor won’t run, etc).
  • Page 53 Compressor Electrical Diagnostics The compressor does not start or will trip repeatedly on overload. CHECK RESISTANCE (OHM) VALUES NOTE: Compressor windings can have very low ohm values. Use a properly calibrated meter. Perform the resistance test after the compressor cools. The compressor dome should be cool enough to touch (49°C/120°F or below) to ensure that the overload is closed and the resistance readings will be accurate.
  • Page 54 CHECK MOTOR WINDINGS TO GROUND Check continuity between all three terminals and the compressor shell or copper refrigeration line. Scrape metal surface to get good contact. If continuity is present, the compressor windings are grounded and the compressor should be replaced. To determine if the compressor is seized: check the amp draw while the compressor is trying to start.
  • Page 55 Diagnosing Start Components If the compressor attempts to start, or hums and trips the overload protector, check the start components before replacing the compressor. CAPACITOR Visual evidence of capacitor failure can include a bulged terminal end or a ruptured membrane. Do not assume a capacitor is good if no visual evidence is present.

  • Page 59: Ice Production Check

    Ice Production Check The amount of ice a machine produces directly relates to the operating water and air temperatures. This means an ice machine with a 21 °C (70°F) ambient temperature and 10°C (50°F) supply water produces more ice than the same model ice machine with a 32 °C (90°F) ambient temperature 21 °C (70°F) supply water.
