good stuff....as a pm tech who works ice machines nearly everyday, good to know that without having to meter up, i can just swap probe tabs and bang, easy peasy. i will definitely use that.....adjustment of ice probes i use a allen key...1/8 or 9/32
Surprised I've yet to have those plastic bits snap yet...nice get by! Pretty sure sensors just display temps. No variable capacity on the 1st gen Indigos. Can't speak to later versions that must use an EEV.
I got a good hack on that pin that broke, I used a sink clip, the type you use on kitchen sinks to clip into the counter, it worked out better then that terrible idea of theirs, they all break eventually, my clip is a "V" clip that you push in to put in place, much much better method of securing the curtain, I'm disappointed that Manitowoc hasn't axed that design yet
The txv fault is generated as a result of the inlet minus outlet temps looking for a range. By disconnecting both monitoring sensors they both read -44 or whatever but zero distance is within range and allows it to stay online. Those sensors aren’t impacting operation. But there are a few scenarios in which the monitoring of them being out of whack will throw and error.
The probes are there to just help diagnose the ice machine. It doesn’t have an EEV that meters based off of probe readings. It will still operate as intended with a failed probe. TXV faults will not lock out the ice machine
🤯. Thanks. Super curious. Why my txv fault and long freeze was kicking and then subsided after my monkeying with it. I believe your absolutely right and it was ultimately long freeze that was shutting down the unit, but both went away. I appreciate your insight and some education. 👍🏼.
@@restaurantrepairscan’t believe this video is already a year old. I started watching your videos when I was first getting into hot side. Now I’m a dual tech that runs both hot and cold side calls. I’ve definitely learned a lot from your videos and they have helped me tremendously on my journey
Great video. The people you work for are lucky to have you.
Niiiiice. I like how you did that troubleshooting🙏

Love the tech tip 👍👍👍
How did you rig it to make ice temporarily while getting the t4 thermistor?
Also if you disconnect t3 and they both show -22 the txv will maintain an appropriate superheat to function and freeze.

How exactly did you “have it rigged” to make ice?

This is 100% correct, t1-4 are purely for diagnosis purposes. Video slightly misleading
Learned alot from a year ago 😉

you can by pass it ,until you get the sensor.disconnect the panel and hit the reset good for 7 days.hope that helps.
Thank you!
Nice job👍
I don't think those probes control anything
Excellent fix well not just yet needs a sensor
T4 causes freeze up.
