My ice-O-matic machine makes ice without issue; but, after the harvest cycle (heat up cycle) it doesn't change back over to freezing/making ice..... it just stays in that harvest/heating cycle until the unit eventually shuts of to prevent it from damage. What I'm doing now is setting a timer on my phone when the machine is running so that it links up with the "harvest" mode and once it's harvested the ice, I'm manually turning the unit off and then back on and it starts making ice again with no issue. I believe the micro-switch circuit that you reference in this video is bad.... causing the unit to stay in harvest mode rather than switching it back into "ice making" mode after the harvest. I've done a ton of research but can't seem to find an exact match from the OEM manufacturer (Marquardt 40T125). Do you think I'm on the right track for a quick fix? Any feedback you could provide would be greatly appreciated as I'd really like to get this machine back up and running with this feature working correctly.
yes that new solenoid has to be lined up properly as designed for that particular model, or else there will be issues down the road. I see some techs just sticking the new one in without paying attention to the orientation.
Is there pretty good pressure coming out of the water fill valve before the freeze cycle begins? I have one (ice o matic 0400) where the water is just slowly trickling out of the valve ,even in purge, and it doesn't completly filling the reservoir. Sometimes the ice isn't completely solid and other time it's a block ice on the evap. Can my water fill valve be the problem?
Iceo 400 series ice o matic ice machine harvest not startting continuous working and ice slab foarming in evaporator,,suction pressure 20 psi,,that time,,but not going in harvest ,,dumb valve working good,,so what are the reasons
Nifty tool! A lot easier than squeezing my Wiggie in that back area while being squeezed against the too close wall! By any chance are you familiar with Samurai Appliantology's "10 step tango" approach method?
Your channel is great for someone want to learn this kinda stuff.Thanks
I'm really glad I came across your Channel. quickly put you in my top five favorite troubleshooting channels👍
Awesome, thank you!
Direct and to the point. Good stuff, subbed.
I really love your videos Bro. what’s the Evaporator suction pressure like in a ice machine (R404A)

Yes it should fill quickly, check the water filters if you have any
Thanks
Do a video on how to clean and service an ice machine .
Nothing on cleaning unfortunately, i do have a few service calls video though
Very good
Great stuff
Thanks for watching
great job thanks

Pressure switch or timer potentially

Nope, please share a link if you have one
👍👍👍
Sounds like a Starbucks ice machine
