 some sort of metal stuff here they got a nice machine it's not working right so let's go see what they got going on never been here i need hearing protection work on this time put my tool bag here on one of the tractors let's see what we got going on here i guess it's just not one to work go figure right got a little bit of growth not too bad what i can see the water is kind of full i bet you we have something wrong with our probe a little bit of calcium and nastiness there let's get this thing there we go let's see what we're doing now i'd rather see rust any day over the nasty stuff it will affect the thickness probe as you can see we're overfilled here probes probably not doing its job got the old-fashioned traditional thickness sensor i think i'm gonna do let's see what our codes and stuff are here first this old machine generally comes down to just needing it cleaned they're punching out metal and stuff so if you recycle so you may not be able to hear me very well all right so we have an SL1 going multiple times not a little pattern usually just like one two or three or something like that but it's consistent we'll put it over here on this panel so let's see if we can find that safety limit see normally one flash or two flashes we don't have that it's kind of a weird one yeah neither of the normal ones that you normally would hear we can tell that we've got a lot of crud up in here that's a false false alarm it's got too much calcium in there that's gonna cause it to be equal on the water path it's gonna freeze right all right well let's kill power but in doubt reboot right water probe shows that it has water let's put that door back on so that you can do crap get a little iron in your diet but in clothes okay put it back to ice and see what it does here wait a minute we we got a last blank recoil so maybe it was just telling us that there's a problem it's been a while since I've worked on this thing this model all right let's watch how many blanks it's got when you turn it on and but it's about shot I think it was just one blank try out one more time one just one blank all right like I said it's been a while ice machines freeze time exceeded 60 minutes consecutively six times in a row not freezing we had plenty of water though what do we got here low water pressure high water pressure effective water pump system well if it never reached the probe or if they don't think it reached it that would cause it because the probe real quick by touching it too metal see if it just lights up yep so there's the probe see that get the probe in our hand see it showing up so it's obviously working biggest thing to run into sometimes on a dirty machine is it'll think that it's actually got stuff on it that'll uh ice water on it and it's make contact so and I've had that time before where just got to blow it out real good if there's any water up inside that after you cleaned it that it'll cause it to false alarm and prematurely go into harvest after the seven minute lockout fan looks like it's going a little slow the air filter I looked at earlier and it's a little dirty it's clean back to 17 so we'll get that cleaned up on it not the warmest air in the world let your discharge gas it's obviously not real super hot it might be low maybe not you got cold coming back to the compressor that fan really it looks like it's acting dumb it might be a fan cycle switch we only had a lot of those go bad it's got a pretty good breeze and it's just deceiving because there's not good lighting in here pretty warm I bet we're okay on refrigerant let's go ahead and get that filter cleaned out of there oh my do you see that looks like monster truck race is going on look at good breeze well we had a hose here this outside wall very it looks too bad we've got a good breeze pattern top left top right bottom left right top down left right outside down so all four corners got ice on it so we're pretty equally across it so the machine makes ice all we know now is that most likely it's dirty most problems with ice and seas is that it gets over time so it's not a waste of a bunch of time on letting it run and make ice worse go ahead and get it cleaned up we're going to trick it because it has ice pretty well build up on it like I showed earlier we're going to put that probe we unhooked it put it up against the ice it's going to have to make for 10 seconds and it's going to a harvest once that water shield there we go once the water shield opens up then it kicks out of the harvest it's got three and a half minutes for it to do that if it doesn't then it gives it like I think two strikes and then eventually it locks out three times actually like I said this control board was the first one I started with and it's just been forever since I've worked on it they're pretty much about all gone all right so this clean switch is stock it won't switch freeze to whatever five sixteenths screw up there all it is a generic rocker switch in there down here shorts one common to one or the other we're gonna see if we can blow it out or something to get it going we need to order a new one I can't get it to go into freeze or into cool which kind of makes it a little difficult to clean the machine try cleaning those before it never works we may just short it together one way or the other to make it run we got it out we sprayed it down with some liquid wrench over there it works pretty good now I'll still order a new switch but it's non-conductive it usually works I mean when it's this dusty in here it's gonna attract more but I can't clean the machine without jumping it and I don't want to hassle with it so if I can salvage it good enough to give you buy I will do that get all this lovely black crap out of here there's really no good place to force anything here because it's a factory a very dirty factory we'll have to do it in the bathroom unfortunately in a sink this hygienic place in the world it's better than what it looks like now so normally they use three ounces time they're anticipating people actually take care of the machine before it breaks and I mean the schedule which nobody usually does unless they're managed early force to we're on a half a bottle which is about eight ounces that'll just barely get it done even then we'll still have to scrub we'll use the remainder in the pan there and then we'll scrub with that to get the last remaining stuff out of here I'm not gonna be overly concerned with all the rock and calcium and all that stuff uh this employee I just want it to be healthy safe going on in this way uh beauty contest isn't gonna happen in a place like this uh it's gonna get blasted uh all right so this is probably one of the most interesting places I've ever had to clean my ice machine that but it's healthy and nasty but we'll try to get her as clean as we can be sure to run a little extra sanitizing solution through it to kind of kill any bathroom gunk that might have got in there uh you know what are you supposed to do buddy what are you supposed to do so let's go ahead and get busy on this thing I'm not going to show you how to scrub you guys probably have figured that out right now but yeah let's get this gunk out of there that cleaned up pretty good and that cleaned up pretty good not bad for bathroom stall clean job see if we can get this last bit of crud here done pop this turkey out they ain't gonna have that nasty mold crap behind her like normal a lot of this this is just gonna float right back down because like I said I mean you got you're an industrial application here uh they're cutting metal over there stamping it out a little everything they don't really have a break room so there's not a kitchen area I mean this is closest thing you got to a break room so there's no kitchen sink or anything like that at least not that I know I've never been here before and no one showed it to me so I'm not going to wonder around too awful much see if we can get this uh nasty thing out of there and get that cleaned up usually gets hung up on something here there you go that's the kind of dirt we got in the back from the side so pull that little turkey apart there we go wonderful let that soak I'm gonna let this soak just let that uh it's tight spots see if we can get the build up off of it now like I said I usually have to blow this thing out with nitrogen afterwards because the water usually doesn't get deep up inside there and it'll cause it to think that it's touching ice and it'll false alarm out so I've tried blowing it out by hand and that don't work so literally I got to blast it out with nitrogen usually try to use my blower from my uh Milwaukee what have you so we'll let that soak let's get the rest of this stuff apart I think I'm gonna rename this the hot lizard or the less than pretty woman so it's actually the bathroom scene up that's why I'm gonna call it a hot lizard they're kind of like a truck driver special because we's actually able to get all this stuff cleaned up and in the part that I'm working in I'm pretty impressed with the result for what I had to work with the environment I had to clean it up so the most part is going on good it's going to get really dirty after work that's not my problem what it looks like when I got done so we've got it all cleaned up we're going to get it back together let's see if things make ice now I think honestly it comes down to filthiness uh generally 90% of the calls up there are filthiness very few are actually going to be a control board failure uh then the left those parts really is uh just you know the control boards are bad I mean that's even the back of the thing that their control boards usually don't feel very often both the time for water related more the refrigerated related so like with that you know we had a switch here the squat we had a fan evaporator plate we had water different tubes and it's completely nasty we've got all that cleaned up we've got the plate descaled the plate you know when it has that steel on it like sandpaper onto paint it won't work good the same thing here it's not going to let the ice fall off it's all in the long harvest you know all this cleaned up up underneath there looks pretty good we don't have any contaminants in the air like uh traditional kitchen areas and stuff so it's pretty good so let's get it back together and see what we get let's go ahead and turn on ice we did go ahead and blow out the sensors make sure there's no water up in there come over here to the um LEDs you can see that we don't have any LEDs for the waterproof form the ice which is good we're gonna go ahead and put it on um ice mode it looks to me like it's starting to fill I don't believe this thing has a water filter or it was starting to fill that's nice what do we got here we got a pop hose there and water line comes over to here and you wonder why the water is not that great it comes over to here to that which comes from the same bathroom water we were just using to clean so it does not appear that we have us a water filter on it that's optional obviously there we go good strong stream the way everything else looks that would be probably just more of a hassle to have to replace the water filter honestly their water here seems like it's halfway decent it's not near as bad as the city that I work in a couple of the other cities so it seems that they might have a little bit better water treatment system here so anyhow got that let's go ahead and see what it does and how long it takes to freeze down I'll start my stop walk soon as the water pump comes on and should have ice somewhere between 10 to 15 minutes on average I went out to the truck to fill out my paperwork got all the information that it could be a tablet looks like we're just about out of water there and we are in a harvest right now which would cause the system to go for a long freeze unfortunately I didn't get to time it to see how fast it can harvest if it is low on refrigerant harvest is where it's going to fail at but let's take a look here and see hopefully it drops before that time up usually I can reach back behind here see if I can feel it releasing it does not feel like it's releasing between the plate and the ice I just turned around to grab a gauge and it dropped it looks like we have ice all right well let's make another batch here let's time it this time and we'll watch and see where that's at we may need to make a little thinner possibly all right so I think I just heard my first click we should be probably going into harvest about now probes just barely touching we're gonna make a quick adjustment we didn't finally get a tablet here at the company well a year ago and finally just got it passed out so now I've got a way to check my temperatures and pressures a little easier let's go ahead and do a quick adjustment just adjust that thickness sensor and we made a quick adjustment it's lit up should be about 10 seconds should go into harvest watching our suction pressure there we're rolling up into the 90 plus area which generally is a good sign uh best compressor superheat and you gotta watch the subcooling you can't really necessarily go with that because there's a dc for here or a subcooler in the back of this machine they tie the suction and liquid together I don't know where you're at but it's pretty good that was a minute 28 seconds so as long as the thickness of the bridge thicknesses are good but your bridge thickness is right there between the cubes that little spot right there is an eighth of an inch we're looking good you can also go by your probe setting you can set you know the basis point you get started but looking pretty good so far usually that pressure switch comes on I believe about 230ish which it's running right now it's cooling it down to about 90 area so it might be a little out of whack 235 I thought was the setting for it we'll watch out a little bit kind of see where we're at really hard to get to but it does appear that we're getting in the right right area there like I said usually when you start hearing the crackle of the plate you're probably going just a touch too far when that's doing is it's expanding to the point where it's going to start shifting your uh nickel coated evaporator there and you can crack that thing loose and then next thing you know you've got the little slats falling out and you've ruined your evaporator so I really don't like hearing that once that's done generally I mean it can run without a few of the slats but you're on the edge of nowhere you're going good so it's uh it'll be ready for replacement for long got the water probes full you'll have some flashing there on the uh ice probe that's pretty normal it's when it has to stay when it stays there for 10 seconds that's when you know you're going to lock into the harvest otherwise don't get too excited if it's just flanking ever now and again well guys that's going to wrap this thing up it's working good just how to run a couple more rows of operation to make sure everything was working the machine was dirty it's in a really bad environment I told them that it'd be best if they could box this area in to keep the dust out uh you know additive water filter it wouldn't be a bad idea other than that for the most part for the age of it it's working really good you guys enjoyed the video and you want to see more like it make sure you hit that subscribe button
