No Water In Water Trough January 08 2015, 3 Comments
For a Manitowoc ice machine to make ice, it needs water. No water in a water trough can be caused by a number of issues and I’ll cover the most common issues in this guide. Although some of these solutions may seem simple, it’s important to start with the basics, to ensure your commercial ice machine is working optimally.
Start with ensuring you have water supply to the machine. Just because you have a water line hooked up, does not mean that water is always available. It’s possible that another piece of equipment has been added to the line, that robs the ice machine of water. Another reason could be that the lines are clogged with debris, due to a line breakage.
QY0134A Manitowoc Ice Machine Parts August 06 2014, 4 Comments
The Manitowoc QY0134A or Q130 Series ice machine was an under counter machine. This was an extremely popular ice machine that was made, almost unchanged, for than 10 years. It was designed to fit in small places, where only a modest amount of ice was needed. Great designed, coupled with the bin being part of the ice maker itself, made it popular in bars and small restaurants.
Over the years, parts on this machine tend to break down, requiring replacement. Thankfully, there are many parts available still and at discount prices, that make fixing it yourself an option for most people. Generally, a float valve, ice thickness control, or water pump can be changed and put you back in ice. These parts are easily changed and can save you money on a service call.
