So they did not lose both ice machines at the same time, usually one goes down and they aren't that busy so they don't even notice. Than the other goes down and they are in panic mode.

The ice thickness sensor on the Indigo machines isn't really a sensor. It's a microphone, and that's what its showing you on the control board the 'volume' of 100hz, and 120hz noise of the water trickling is what it's picking up. Be careful while running these machines with the covers off, I've had issues trying to troubleshoot something with the front panel off, and they have a radio or bluetooth speaker in the kitchen playing music extremely loud. Very loud music can mess it up. If all the covers are on the machine, it's good enough sound proofing, and doesn't seem to bother anything. Not much of an issue, but if you're working on one of these machines, tell them to keep the music down. Saves you two headaches, one from 'long freeze' and the other from the 90+ dB of loud music…. 😀 Keep up the good work.
This was a badass service call, dude 🤙 Great video Service area Ottawa??
The low head pressure on these Manitowocs on harvest is by design. They call it a CVD, or Cool Vapor Defrost. "To make hot gas systems work, the compressor must be as physically close to the ice making evaporator as possible. This also means the noise from the compressor is always concentrated at the ice making part of the system. This is not something you want in a customer environment. Manitowoc CVD ice machines use vapor refrigerant from the receiver tank to harvest the ice." — from Manitowoc literature
Found it funny when you got stuck in the keypad test and missed the "5 > to exit" for awhile 🙂
not odd. cool af!
Nothing wrong with talking to yourself, it's something I do and it's helpful. A wise guy once told me that "You can talk to yourself, you can ask yourself questions, you can answer yourself, but you have to make sense to yourself." Seemed like a reasonable piece of advice to me. Are you in Ottawa ?
I was cheering you on to figurout out 5> to exit lol! It was so suspenseful!
What is it with you Americans anything that is not right or fails for what ever reason are JUNK. I watch farming channels and it is the same. 😀😂😀😂😂😀😂😂 I was in industry 35/ 40 years ago. You certainly have some great tools/ test equipment now. 👍👍👍👍
Someone needs to unload the dish machine
We have those machines where I work. As a maintenance mechanic, they are a pain in the ass. Always malfunctioning, or need new boards every year for some reason. Trying to troubleshoot/navigate the digitals is a double pain in the ass. As a union company, we dont like calling in outsiders if possible. I guess I'll watch this video 100 times to understand what to look for. 😅 Nice job with these!
Of COURSE you talk to yourself…
How else are you going to have an Intelligent Conversation or get Spectacularly Great Advice?
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Call welbilt, repeat your information every time, hold music keeps restarting, then profit?
😂😂😂 I was in tears when you were stuck on the keypad hahaha
An honest technician is a one that stays around for a long time
Should have bought Hoshi's 🙂
How lucky are you that the machines clean before you work on it, I spend too much time bringing machines back to clean to diagnose- usually cleaning fixes issue. 2000 gallon point of use filters and don’t call anyone till it breaks is law around my area
The touch pad button check looked like it wanted the right position button to be depressed 5 x's to exit the test but I'm not sure.
#2 pencil works just as well for bridge thickness
Why is it always Friday afternoon about quitting time that I get the call…
"Mr. Dave, the main casino bar ice machine just stopped working".
1200 lb bin bone dry.
¡ DAMMIT Shorty! Its the end of the month, the welfare zombies have no $ to feed the beasts, this sumbitch hasn't dropped a cube since Tuesday at best!
Heard he quit school early on bc he hated recess …bc he don't play games lol second hand info Service area Orleans??
Over on my channel I give my subscribers your discount BIGPICTURE code for automotive technicians and automotive shops who wanna buy vacuum pumps and Fieldpiece refrigerant gauges and the big blue hose. Service area Nepean??
I didnt see the stupid butterfly cube breaker things. In class theybsaid someone broke their hand when the ice dropped on it. 😐
Top video.
I feel ya pain I've worked on two ice machines today and both were a pain in my ass
i work on ice machines with the fountain beverage company i work for. we have plenty because my boss wants to be one stop shop for people beverage needs, aside from beer kegs.
and when i show up to an ice machine down i do the same thing, i restart it and watch it run. but what i didnt know with the Indigo series is that i could activate the relays and see what happens. some of our units are in areas with terrible water and that will be very useful.
of course we dont do the roof top compressor units. and when the compressors an issue im always out of my league.
I did the thermostat in the return on a 50 ton intellipak. Board was or still is months out.
At One of the seminars Jared for Manitowoc told us that a yellow number two orange pencil is the perfect gap tool to adjust the probe distance on these water probes. I've used it a ton of times and it's worked perfect
i have yet to see one of those "cleaned" ever. always some black shmoo hanging around somewhere.
Another great video Chris! really enjoy the videos and learn from you troubleshooting machines
Replaced many of those touch pads. No need to replace the display itself; the touch pad itself is always the problem.
Your talking trash about cleaners but can’t even get through the board menu and just throw unnecessary parts at it charging the customer. No reason you couldn’t of cleaned that sensor
I too talk to myself while troubleshooting haha
Love your videos man! Are you in Nepean ?
Sometimes things need a software update to work better or fix a glitch
Sir, it would be great if all of us who are dealing with air conditioning online all over the world can come together in some way.
I love a Manitowoc, especially the Indigo series lol. So many ways to make it work when lots of things fail. By the way, I need a water level probe and there are like 85 on back order from my vendor, such a pain! Also, using a very low abrasive type of cloth/paper will clean those water level probes to make them work, I usually use a dollar bill and then wipe it down with some sanitizer solution
Fun fact, your standard #2 pencil is the correct spacing for the thickness sensor Are you in Kanata ?
Sometimes you need to speak with the most experienced troubleshooter… so you speaking to yourself is easily explained 😁
Excellent video. Great details. On the Tee that you use, is that a female flare connector or a 1/4 SAE with rubber seals? Are you in Barrhaven ?
Ice machines are different, if you can fix a Trane Air conditioner you can pretty much fix a carrier. But just because you can fix a Hoshizaki doesn’t mean you can fix a Manitowoc. Especially with these modern machines they have so many different ways that they operate
I talk to myself when troubleshooting too
Owner: there's two ice machines, so there will always be ice, so the business can stay open and make money.
Manager: there's two ice machines, so I wait with calling service until both are down, to save money.
Silly people 😂
Nothing wrong with talking to yourself – heck it's even encouraged sometimes. Pilots are encouraged or even required to speak out loud the steps they are going through, and it's not just for the sake of verification/communication. There are many studies showing that so called "self-explaining" is very effective.
Jump pin 3 and 6… Ive searched everywhere trying to find out what pins to jump… Thanks for sharing. lol
I've always used the oem fan control and pressure switches on the Manitowocs. I probably should start stocking aftermarket ones for when they are not available. I've always been told that Manitowoc ice machines do not do well with aftermarket switches. Even my local supply houses are afraid to recommend any for Manitowocs so I never did. Service area Kanata??
"notice it's not gonna move" proceeds to knock prob and it moves. Idk why found that hilarious 🤣
Chris, nothing wrong with talking to yourself. I talk to myself all the time when troubleshooting.
I’m not in the trade, but I really enjoy watching your videos. It’s always nice to see someone that takes pride in their profession.
Is there a YT channel that you recommend for residential HVAC videos? The lights in my new house dim for a split-second whenever the compressor starts up.
Q: what's the opposite of ice?
A: noice
