Cleaning the Condenser
General
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in
excessively high operating temperatures. This
reduces ice production and shortens component life.
• Clean the condenser at least every six months.
• Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check
for dirt between the fins.
• Blow compressed air or rinse with water from the
inside out (opposite direction of airflow).
• If dirt still remains call a service agent to clean the
condenser.
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine
head section and the remote condensing unit
at the electric service switches before cleaning
the condenser.
The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when
cleaning them.
