C. Remove the Ice Thickness Probe
• Compress the side of the ice thickness
probe near the top hinge pin and remove it
from the bracket.
Ice Thickness Probe Removal
NOTE: At this point, the ice thickness probe can easily
be cleaned. If complete removal is desired follow the ice
thickness probe wire to the bulkhead grommet (exit
point) in the back wall. Pop the bulkhead grommet out of
the back wall by inserting fingernails or a flat object
between the back wall and the grommet and prying
forward. Pull the bulkhead grommet and wire forward
until the connector is accessible, then disconnect the
wire lead from the connector.
Ice Thickness Probe Cleaning
• Mix a solution of Manitowoc ice machine cleaner and
water (2 ounces of cleaner to 16 ounces of water) in
a container.
• Soak the ice thickness probe a minimum of 10
minutes.
Clean all ice thickness probe surfaces and verify the ice
thickness probe cavity is clean. Rinse thoroughly with
clean water, then dry completely. Incomplete rinsing and
drying of the ice thickness probe can cause premature
harvest.
