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.
