Manitowoc ice machine condenser fan not working.
Safety limit is triggered the safety limit on some manitowoc units is designed to stop the ice machine if there is a possibility of major component failure.
If the compressor of the machine fails to start even with the motor running check for water in the water reservoir and see whether the valve is open or the float valve screen is clogged.
To support my videos please visit either of the links below for streamla.
This also means the noise from the compressor is always concentrated at the ice making part of the.
Standard remote condenser ice machines all use compressor hot gas systems to heat the evaporator during their ice harvest cycles.
This was a service call on a manitowoc ice machine that had a bad fan cycle control.
Switch the machine off and back on again.
It made ice several times after jumping the switch.
Ice maker fills and compressor starts then kicks out on high pressure no fan.
The water must touch the probe in order for the compressor to start.
When clogged the screen will reduce the flow of water.

If the compressor will not start even if the gear motor is running check for water in the water reservoir.
Because there is not enough ice to force the water curtain open and break the bin switch the machine simply thinks it never harvested.
To make hot gas systems work the compressor must be as physically close to the ice making evaporator as possible.
Air space clearances at back and sides of ice machine.
