2. Ice Machine Not Operating:

If your machine does not run with no power supply, then check the main power switch and turn it on. If you are unable to know whether the power outlet is working or not, plug another device into the outlet and check for power. If it is also not getting power, then replace the fuse or reset the breaker.

Finally, check the damper position. If the damper is positioned down, your ice machine will turn off until the issue is fixed. The damper should be held in the upright and swinging freely.

3. Ice Machine isn’t Producing Ice:

Here is the Manitowoc ice machine troubleshooting for producing ice. If your ice maker is not giving ice, first, you need to clean and sanitize the ice machine. And, the plan for your machine must sit on the floor. 

Next, check to see the air temperature inside is cold enough. The machine requires air cooling must be a minimum of 40 degrees Fahrenheit to produce ice. The water regulating valve should be fully sealed. If it is leaking, replace the valve. 

4. Gear Motor Will Work but Compressor Does Not Start:

The main causes of this problem are the water reservoir is empty, water level probes are out of position and no electrical power to the condensing unit.

If the water reservoir is empty, you need to open the water service valve and clean the float valve screen (if it is clogged). When the screen is clogged, it will reduce the water flow. Make sure to check that water must touch with the water level probe to start the compressor. 

Also, check these water level probes position and correct them to exact position. 

If the condensing unit is not receiving power, you have to check and reset the breaker or replace the fuse or check whether the unit is securely plugged in or not.

5. Ice Quality is Poor:

Sometimes, you can find the quality of ice is poor in your Manitowoc ice machine. This is often caused by the quality of water entering the machine. So, you need to test the water quality and filter. 

You have to replace the water filter if the water filtration is poor. For high-quality ice, you should replace the water filter regularly. If you are unsure about the water quality, contact a water service company to test the water and for the best filter recommendations.  

Make sure that entering water temperature is below 90°F and check that your machine is connected to a cold water supply. Also, sanitize your ice machine once to avoid dirt by following the manufacturer’s instructions.  

6. Low Ice Capacity:

If you find your machine is giving you small cubes, you could have an issue with water temperature or levels. So, first check the water temperature, pressure, float valve, and supply. 

If the water float and dump valves are dirty, clean them once. Make sure the water temperature is below 90°F.
