What is ice bridge thickness?

Koolaire recommends a 1⁄8-inch-thick ice bridge.

How do you adjust the thickness of ice on Manitowoc?

1. Turn adjustment screw (Figure 4) on ice thickness probe clockwise to increase ice thickness, counterclockwise to decrease ice thickness.

How does a Manitowoc ice thickness probe work?

The ice thickness probe provides input to the control board. The ice thickness probe sends two signals: 1. Water is not contacting the probe. When water is not in contact with the ice thickness probe, the control board will remain in the freeze cycle.

How do you adjust the ice thickness on an ice machine?

1. Turn adjustment screw (Figure 4) on ice thickness probe clockwise to increase ice thickness, counterclockwise to decrease ice thickness. 2. Ensure ice thickness probe wires and bracket do not restrict movement of probe.

How do I adjust my ice maker?

Turn the small adjustment set screw on the upper, middle right hand side of your ice maker a half of a turn with a Phillips or flat head screwdriver, depending on the screw your ice maker has. Turning the screw clockwise will decrease the water level and turning it counterclockwise will increase the water level.

What causes short freeze on Scotsman ice machine?

Scotsman Prodigy Cuber It is triggered by water contact. Water contacts the sensor when the ice is at the proper size. During use the Ice Thickness Sensor will become coated with mineral scale from the water, which if left untreated can cause changes in bridge thickness.

How do you clean an ice maker sensor?

Use a cotton swab soaked with a little white vinegar to gently clean the surface of the sensors. You want the surface as clear as possible. If the issue persists, run your Opal through a cleaning cycle with only pure white vinegar. Fill the reservoir with undiluted to the maximum fill line (approximately two quarts).

What is safe mode on Manitowoc ice machine?

A controller continues to operate an ice making machine in a safe mode when a failure of a component is detected. If the failure is uncured after a predetermined time, the controller causes the ice making machine to enter a standby mode or disables the ice making machine from making ice.

How will the entering water temperature affect the ice capacity of an ice machine?

Typically, an ice maker’s production rate is only nominally affected when the water temperature rises between 55-degrees to 70-degrees Fahrenheit. It’s when water reaches above 80 degrees that we begin to see a significant drop in ice production.

What causes short freeze thin ice?

The most likely reason you are getting the short freeze is the bridge thickness sensor is either out of adjustment or pitted/corroded. You can clean it off with a pad then turn the bridge thickness adjustment out slightly so it makes thicker cubes.
