Manitowoc Ice Thickness Probes February 14 2014, 5 Comments

Manitowoc Ice Thickness ProbesManitowoc ice machines have changed over the years, becoming more efficient, and improving upon old designs.  One major change has been in the style of the ice thickness probe or ice thickness control.  Also known as a harvest switch, this probe is what signals Manitowoc ice makers to harvest the ice that's formed on the evaporator.

Older Manitowoc ice makers will utilize what's known as a single wire ice thickness control.  These probes are used to replace double wire ice probes on older model ice machines, like the B and J series machines.  The OEM part number 7627813 is also used as stock replacement for the very popular Q series modular ice machines.
