icetro IC Series, Installation & Service Manual

Check the ice thickness.
The ice thickness sensor should NOT be touching the evaporator plate. There should be approximately
¼” - ⅜” of space between the sensor and the evaporator. Turn the adjustment screw on the sensor
clockwise to put more space between the sensor and the evaporator. Turn the adjustment screw
counter-clockwise to put less space between the sensor and evaporator.
Newer under-counter machines use an ice thickness probe in place of a float switch to
determine when to put the machine into the harvest cycle.
Part of the installation process is to check that the ice thickness sensor is properly
adjusted. Too close to the evaporator and the customer will have hollow cubes (or
worse) the machine won’t make ice at all. Too far from the evaporator and you’re
freeze time will be too long and the customer will complain of “thick” or “chunky” ice.
