How do I clean the ice thickness probe on my Manitowoc?

Follow the cleaning procedure in the manual, which covers removing and cleaning the probe with an approved solution. Turn the machine off first and handle the probe gently, since bending it changes the cube thickness. If cubes are still wrong afterward, the probe gap or the control may need checking.

Our Marshville ice maker stopped working after a new well pump was installed. Could that be related?

It can be. Well work often stirs up sediment that rushes into the refrigerator filter and inlet valve. Replace the filter first and see if ice production recovers. If not, the valve screen may be clogged and need cleaning or replacement.

Can you fix the ice dispenser in a Wingate rental fridge between tenants?

Yes, and turnover is a good time to do it. We test the auger motor, door flap and switch, check the ice maker, and report the findings to the owner or manager with a price before work.

Manitowoc Ice Makers: What We Check First

A Manitowoc cube machine runs a cycle that depends on two small probes. The ice thickness probe sits near the evaporator face and signals the control when the ice slab has grown thick enough for water to bridge to it. The water level probe sits in the trough and tells the inlet valve when to stop filling. Between them, they decide how full the evaporator gets and when harvest starts. The water pump and distribution tube keep water flowing evenly over the nickel-plated evaporator.

Scaled ice thickness probe triggering harvest early, making thin cubes
Fouled water level probe causing short or overflowing trough fills
Clogged distribution tube leaving dry streaks on the evaporator
Recirculating condenser air lengthening freeze cycles in tight installations

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Manitowoc ice maker repair guide.

Well Water, Filters and Busy Dispensers

An ice maker is often the first appliance to complain about well water. Sediment and iron load the refrigerator filter faster than its rated life, and a clogged filter or valve screen makes thin, hollow or misshapen cubes. Minerals can also build up where the fill tube enters the freezer, letting it freeze shut and stopping production entirely.

In Wingate rentals and busy Monroe households, the dispenser takes a beating. Ice clumps in the bin when the dispenser is not used for a while, and the auger stalls trying to push it. Empty and break up the bin, and confirm the ice maker's arm or switch is in the on position.

Change the refrigerator filter, and if you are on a well, do it more often than the label suggests. When ice is still slow, our technician checks water pressure and the inlet valve, thaws and inspects the fill tube, and tests the ice maker and dispenser motor. We price the repair before replacing parts.
