Scotsman Ice AFE325 Maintenance Air Cooled Condenser, Bearings, Electrical Shock Hazard

AFE325

Maintenance: Air Cooled Condenser, Bearings

1. Disconnect electrical power.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power before beginning.

2.Remove front louvered panel

3.Wipe the lint off the front of the condenser. If needed, clean the interior of the condenser.

4.Use pressurized air to blow the lint from the inside of the condenser. A vacuum cleaner hose should pick up most of the dust. Check for interior dirt. If needed, use coil cleaner to de-grease the condenser.

5.Replace all panels and reconnect electrical power.

Auger and Bearing Inspection

While in most areas regular in-place cleaning with Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner will be adequate to keep the interior of the evaporator free of excessive mineral build up, some water conditions may require more intense methods. In addition, the auger bearings require physical inspection to determine that they are not wearing. This physical inspection is recommended twice per year for the top bearing and once per year for the auger and both bearings.

Whenever the auger is removed, replacement of the water seal is recommended.

If a bearing requires replacement, the other bearing must also be replaced.

1.Unplug or disconnect electrical power.

2.Shut off the water supply.

3.Remove top panel.

4.Remove right side panel.

5.Drain the evaporator and reservoir.

6.Remove the two screws from the spout at the side of the evaporator.

7Remove screw holding spout plate to evaporator.

8.Remove spout.

9.Pull up on the pull ring to remove the auger. If it is difficult to pull:

A.Remove the breaker cover by taking the snap ring out.

B.Unscrew the auger bolt.

C.Use threaded rod or a slide hammer puller and screw into the auger, slide the weight up against the stop to remove the auger.

If the auger still will not move, bearing replacement is mandatory. See Bearing Removal and Replacement.
