Manitowoc Water Pump Installation

Manitowoc Water Pump Installation

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

There are two main water pumps for Q Series and older Manitowoc ice makers, a 115v and a 208v version.  These 2 pumps will fit most any ice maker made 9 years and older.  However, please verify fitment before ordering or send us an email if you have any questions.

Manitowoc part numbers 76-2306-3 and 76-2601-3 will both contain the following:

  • 1 water pump
  • rubber reducing boot
  • barbed connector
  • plastic hose clamp
  • set of instructions

Installing a new water pump requires the removal of a water flow clamp, if your machine is equipped with one.  This typically applies to under counter ice makers.  Depending on the type of water system your ice machine operates on, you will install the pump in 1 of 5 different ways.  However, each method is covered by the included components, along with instructions on how to do all 5 within the instructions.

On most ice makers it’s a simple bolt in installation and the above listed components will not be required.  If the pump outlet tube doesn’t quite line up, it’s possible to rotate the assembly.  There are 3 screws located under the motor, which once removed will allow the pump base to rotate freely.  Once it’s in the desired position, simply replace the 3 screws.
