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.
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. 👍🏼.
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
Great video. The people you work for are lucky to have you.
Niiiiice. I like how you did that troubleshooting🙏

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!
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.
Excellent fix well not just yet needs a sensor
I don't think those probes control anything
Nice job👍
T4 causes freeze up.
