Manitowoc Water Inlet Valve Maintenance February 14 2014, 5 Comments

Manitowoc Water Inlet Valve
On some occasions the water inlet valve on your Manitowoc ice maker may require maintenance. Although it typically does not require removal for cleaning, if it is malfunctioning, not allowing water into the trough, removing the valve and cleaning may save you the cost of a service call. There are two main symtoms that may indicate you need to remove your water inlet valve, no water coming into the trough or water overflowing the water trough.

Replacing Manitowoc Dump Valves February 10 2014, 0 Comments

Manitowoc Dump ValveWhen buying a dump valve for a Manitowoc Ice machine, there are only two choices. For all past and current ice maker models there are only 115v dump valves and 208-230v dump valves. This makes truck stock simple, allowing you to keep only 2 items in stock that will solve and fit all Manitowoc ice machines.

Typically the 115v dump valve will fit all 500lb cubers and smaller. The voltage change happens at 600lb machines and larger, which are then fitted with 208-230v dump valves. There are a few exceptions, like in the Ice Beverage model line up, which can produce 1000lbs of ice or more, but only have a 115v ice maker head. Be sure to look up the part number and voltage of your ice maker before ordering.
