honestly, you have some of the best videos on ICE MACHINE repair. Please keep them coming. I fix these machines but hate those long Manitowoc seminars. Your method takes less time and explain it better. Same with Hoshizaki machines. Thanks again -
I tried the tap test on the back of the probe, and it only jumped up to around 200-300, I see that’s way to low but does it matter that I did the back side and not the nipple? Tech support had me change the probe with a spare, but the unit was still making a 1/4-3/8 bridge and not braking. When the water started covering the probe, it stayed down around 80-90. 2 sensors with the same reading, could that be a bad board or just 2 bad sensors? I did have 3.3 vdc coming out of the board also Also thanks for the video, It was very educational!
Sorry for the delayed response. Hmmm. I’m glad you spoke with tech support because they are the best resource available. I’m not comfortable saying it’s a bad board because they’re expensive and I don’t want to be wrong. 3.25-3.35 VDC is what the board should be putting out so it probably good.
@@IceMachine411 I did update and replace the probe again, been working ever since! The probe was actually sensing and jumping up like it should, 1/8 inch bridge. It was great. Your video helped a lot though, keep em up!
Thanks for sharing. Could you please advise if top 4-5 rows are thin compared to the bottom rows is it low refirgerant symptom or could be other causes as well?
I would assume not a water issue. As long as you’re not running out of water by the end of freeze and the machine isn’t constantly adding new water to the trough.
Very informative. Thank you for sharing. I found this feeler gauge on Amazon that I use for setting the thickness it works well for me. 3163530 Engine Brake Adjustment Tools 7MM for Cummins ISX Engine Jake Brake Feeler Gauge
