D. 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.
