I’ve isolated mine down to the water pump, but I have no idea how to remove it. It’s the same unit you were working on in this video. do you have a video that shows how to remove that? Can you give me a few tips?
No ice in my machine, inlet water is coming in, but not making it to the pump. Water is coming out from behind the icemaking gear, and just falling into the bin. Is there an exploded view of this machine that I can look at to consider where this is coming from and if it can be fixed?
Great video. Thank you. We have model 50BAJ. Ours appears to be pumping plenty of water and draining as well. But ice production has dramatically reduced in the last week. I took out many of the internal parts as shown in this video. Cleaned them. Cleaned small plastic filter at the water line entrance and nothing appears to have changed. It runs for a very long time before dropping ice ever 50-60min. Thus, resulting in very low ice production. Any thoughts? Thank you
Are these the most reliable ice makers? What brand would you suggest for a small, under counter maker that can keep the ice frozen and stop producing when the bin is at capacity? (if that even exists) Thanks in advance.
I have this exact icemaker, and it won’t stop making black ice. I think it’s a worn out evaporator. Can you replace those or do you just buy a new machine?
@@REFRIGERATIONKITCHENEQTECH unfortunately I’ve already done the clean and sanitize cycles twice and it’s still happening. Finally called a repairman today. He’s saying bearings. Mine was in storage 2.5 years and I think the heat broke down whatever it’s made of so it’s disintegrating slowly into the ice.
I have a issue with the same unit. I have plenty of water. We changed the filter turned system back on and no ice is being made. Could this be a refrigeration problem. Or how long does it take to start making ice thanks
There is a screw kind of hidden that hold the cover than you have access to the pump. I think to wire the pump you need to take the top off but Can’t remember
The bad thing about Ice machine troubleshooting is the time it takes to troubleshoot the problem. Like you mentioned it takes a long wait and watch time to be 100% sure about the problem and the repair.
Yes, but I’ll take a thorough tech over a fast tech any day of the week. Call backs start becoming an issue. I’ve been guilty of this when we are slammed with service calls, but learnt it’s not worth skipping steps and leaving.
My AM-50B stopped making ice. Water kept running and never stopped. The Water valve in the top of the machine was clogged. Bought a new one on amazon(76dollars) and replaced. Part#458548-01.
How did you know it was clogged? Mine is barely making ice after running for a very long time. I have a 50BAJ model. Mine appears to pump water perfectly fine. Thank you
I have the exact same machine. They need to be cleaned at least twice/year. It's a pain in the ass but needs to be done. Pray the drain pump doesn't fail. 700.00
These ice machines are dumbed down. They don't have a way of sensing water level. They have a predefined time to fill and if its not getting the proper amount, no ice will form, the pump will just struggle until it burns out.. One time I found one of these making ice when pulled out of the wall but when pushed in no ice. Guess what. Great troubleshooting. Your voice is almost muted during the schematic discussion and then it gets loud in action.
You sir are a true professional!
One of the best instructors on UA-cam
I’m absolutely amazed at your instructional technique. Truly, you are awesome! Thank you!
Thanks
This is THE best channel about HVACR on UA-cam! Really learning alot about this sort of equipment! Thanks alot for sharing.
Thanks
So enjoy watching your videos! Love the way you trace out the schematics and explain what is going on . Thanks and keep them coming!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Enjoyed the video is there’s A chance that you can provide an email address for correspondence very interested in your diagnostic techniques used would like to further chat with you on a few things thanks
By far the most informative tech on UA-cam I’ve been learning a lot from your videos
Thanks, glad they are helpful
I couldn't hear the audio during the schematic through my Bluetooth but everything else was perfect thank you as always brother
Thanks for the feedback. I think I finally got all the audio issues sorted on the newest video.
Great video thank you can you let me know where did you get the knee pad ?
Have the exact one fills up with water and drains good jus not spraying water up to form ive any advice what the problem can be

Did you figure it out ?
My trough is filling up,but then it's not spraying the water up?? Any thoughts?
Great video. Thanks so much for taking the time. I learn so much from your posts.
Thanks for the kind words
Great video! Step by step and right on target 🎯
Hello, I put a thermometer in mone and it is at 39 degrees is that ok?
Are these the most reliable ice makers?
What brand would you suggest for a small, under counter maker that can keep the ice frozen and stop producing when the bin is at capacity?
(if that even exists)
Thanks in advance.
Want more ice machine videos! Super helpful
👍 noted
Great information and work tech 👍
Thanks 👍
Good info,,,,,as usual,,,mate ,,,,,,,👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
I didn't know these size ice machines were repairable. This opens a lot of options for us.
Yes we get quite a few calls for these. Rarely is it a refrigeration problem, meaning the issue is cheap/easy to resolve
Can you do a video on how to access water inlet valve? Thanks
You're a very good tech.
Thanks for watching and the compliment
How do you check the water pressure or where would you do that?
There should be a gauge at the water filter, but you can see when it fills if the pressure is not enough
What is the cleaner your sprayed on the condenser? Any special kind of brush to use as well? Thanks!
That’s just a typical coil brush you can pick up from United refrigeration. The spray is from refrigeration technologies and it’s called “Viper” spray
It’s like my ice just isn’t freezing. Any suggestions?
Nice video and wish you were in Houston. 😊
Lol, Toronto 🇨🇦
I have this exact icemaker, and it won’t stop making black ice. I think it’s a worn out evaporator. Can you replace those or do you just buy a new machine?
I would start with a thorough cleaning, should do the trick.

I learn so much from ur videos 10 q sir
👍👍

20-30 minutes I think on that one. If the evaporator isnt getting cold then you may have a refrigeration issue
@@REFRIGERATIONKITCHENEQTECHhow can I fix a refrigeration issue?
If it is the pump any insight on how to change that?
There is a screw kind of hidden that hold the cover than you have access to the pump. I think to wire the pump you need to take the top off but Can’t remember
When you say you received formal training where and how do I get that kind of formal training ?
From the manufacturers, they are always running training, a lot of online stuff too now from them.

Really enjoyed this vid. Thank you sir! 👍🏼
👊
I have the exact one only problem is my fills up and everything and drains good jus doesn't spray the water up and already cleaned it
What programm do you use for breakdown schematics?. And does the cell phone has something similar?
It’s a free program called drawboard. Not sure if it would work on a cell phone
Thank you
Excelente. Como. Siempre
👍
Same troubleshooting process for other ice machines?
Unfortunately not lol. There will be some similarities however.
@@REFRIGERATIONKITCHENEQTECH thanks for the feedback love your videos
Bro what is the name of the software you use to edit your schematics
Drawboard
I coated mine w saw dust (don't ask) but it's not filling.

This site has 4 units, had to change one 4 weeks ago.
Great video
Thanks
GOOD VID, I am off to clean and check water...

Yes I noticed the voice is low, I need to figure out how to get it louder, I had it at the loudest setting. Thanks for watching

Could be contaminated with fentanyl.
