This was a service call on a Hoshizaki ice machine that had low production, I found that the machine was harvesting too early because there was sediment in the pump out check valve. I cleaned it up and the machine was working properly other than that.

Thank you very much for sharing your precious videos, always new with you, we learn a lot with you.Thank you very much.
For me once was a time when the rubber was so stiff I just had to change the rubber , spring was still good but I changed both anyways. They worked together. You don't mention much about it but even if a seal/hose looks good don't mean it is, the suppleness of a seal/hose matters too. Ever come across a rubber seal that is so stiff it turned into like plastic?
hi where can i get those parts to buy
You really helped me out today, your the man !
Anyone questioning my latest comments listen up! This is a real tech filming in order to help future techs in the field! Give respect for a good man trying to help others! Are you in Orleans ?
Dont know don't want to know! Don't work on ice makers! So any asshole questioning about his technique can go pound sand!
Thank you , I have to work on everything at a Golf course. I forgot why the ice machine could short cycle on the freeze cycle . I knew I could reference your videos.
I have an older kml450 model and don't see a pump out. Does the float do the same thing for this model? Service area Kanata??
I wonder if the health department ever went to this place!!!
Great video bro Service area Nepean??
Number 1 sir
I really liked the tips & easy troubleshooting techniques on dealing with this kind of problem. Watching the machine drain line in the freeze mode was especially useful. In your professional opinion which brand is better…Hoshizaki or Mantiwoc?
Love these vids, being in the heating and refrig/cooling business. Chris, does your company ever turn down work? Say a large chiller unit, you or staff isn’t familiar with? I know your your in the restaurant business, but do you work on small or large geothermal units? Sometimes dispatchers are afraid to turn down work, for fear of repercussions from ownership, sent to something they, or other techs know nothing about. Would love to know your opinion on turning down work, how to, showing up at a job site, with no clue, sucks.
Remember once when I first entered the trade, I was sent to a HRV, call, got a onsite, it was a 400ft water tower that had been emptied, using Hrv to dry out and repair, HRV was a tractor trailer with a 575v generator, nothing working, I looked at the crew that had came , and said “this is not me” 😂
I’ve cleaned my share of check valves in hoshi’s . Wouldn’t the debris move each harvest as water passes through ?
I hear all the time, stretch the spring. Just took a backflow testing class and in the class they said that springs may loose their psi rating. So hoshi check valve has a psi rating based on that spring. I feel we should be able to measure that, to let the the house know that the spring is strong enough to resist the pressure of the pump.
Good job
If any one is interested I have a good man condenser with a train evap . Complete unit 2008 used . Good compressor and coil . Message me . Cheep . From Florida . And I love these videos . I own a manitowac and I want to upgrade . You mentioned these to be a better unit .
👍
👍👍👍
Hi Chris, it's me, Isaac. Some reason for first time that this video didn't use closed caption. I tried to turn on subtitle/CC at setting. It didn't work out. Any change, sir ? Thanks for your time.
Nice job chris like always!!! And its good to know this videos its helpful for everybody thanks for share!!!
Great videos as always !
Please make more ice maker videos😀
I dont have commerical refrigeration, but these vids are great!!! learning from your vids…
great vid! great volume! lol
I've always wondered how all these commercial cooling/heating systems worked. You're narration is great. Always interesting to watch, thanks.
Under the freeze cycle ive blocked the water flow on the main supply tube going up from the pump. That forces water out of that check valve. If the water stops coming from the drain then i knew there was a sealing issue with that valve
I had that issue on a system going into a drain bucket with a sump pump. It took a while to figure it out since it was the first time I had that issue and the drain line was sealed to the bucket. If it wasn't for a loud sump pump and another tech telling me what to look for, I probably wouldn't have found it.
That was a constant flow going down the drain
Learning every time watching your videos!!! Thank you very much for your videos and work you do.
As asked on one of your livestreams, but left unanswered:
"as a chef I'm around hvacr, but not very privvy about it. what would be the best route to learn what i can to properly identify issues and prevent any scamming/upselling bull. "
This really helped me this morning! Thank you! Are you in Ottawa ?
I like how you went back to the machine a few days later and cleaned the whole machine. Does the restaurant ever clean their own machines, or no? In a hospital setting they have to clean them every month. Thank you Chris hope you have a good week. If you get a chance post another one this week. Thank you. Service area Barrhaven??
