Maintenance Section 4
Cleaning the Condenser
Warning
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine
at the electric service switch before performing
maintenance on equipment.
AIR-COOLED CONDENSER
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.
1. Remove plastic front grill by removing two Phillips
head screws. Clean grill openings before replacing.
2. Clean the outside of the condenser with a soft brush
or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Clean from
top to bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to
bend the condenser fins.
3. Shine a flashlight through the condenser to check
for dirt between the fins. If dirt remains:
A. Blow compressed air through the condenser
fins. Be careful not to bend the fan blades.
B. If dirt or grease remains between fins, consult
your service representative.
Warning
The condenser fins are sharp. Use care when
cleaning them.
WATER-COOLED CONDENSER AND WATER
REGULATING VALVE
The water-cooled condenser and water-regulating valve
may require cleaning due to scale buildup.
Low ice production, high water consumption and high
operating temperatures and pressures all may be
symptoms of restrictions in the condenser water circuit.
Because the cleaning procedures require special pumps
and cleaning solutions, qualified maintenance or service
personnel must perform them.
