 Look at that. What would cause that? Well, some of it's fills. The other half of it I would see is probably the water. See the gray stuff that's flowing around? That's your nickel coating on your ice machine up there. Yeah, it's not doing so well. This video is brought to you in part by TrueTechTools. Quality tools, essential support. Alright guys, we're getting ready to look at a nice machine. It's not producing ice. I have a feeling I need it. There it is. Some of it. How you doing? Not too bad. So, I came here and I asked the manufacturer about it. She's like, hey, this is a little water thing here. It's way down low. So, it's producing some ice, she said. It's dripping. Not looking really that great. Oh yeah, it's like brand new. Yeah, that's a problem. I'm going to say we've got some water issues. It's like brand new. Look at that. What would cause that? Well, some of it's fills. The other half of it I would see is probably the water. You can see that the water trough down here is completely empty. Let's try and run right now. See that? See the gray stuff that's flowing around? That's your nickel coating on your ice machine up there. Yeah, it's not doing so well. No real LED lights there. Let's see if we can put this thing into a harvest. So, to put it into a harvest, we're going to need to put this door back on. I'm going to put the door back on. Make sure it breaks in that ice. There we go. Good enough to get the door on. So, let's put this door back on. There we go. And then what that's going to do is make the magnetic switch close. So, we've got the one right there. Let's go ahead and take this harvest sensor here. Water thickness. And right now, yeah, usually, I'd be in a harvest now. I don't know, that water level's all over the place. There we go. They got her into it. That red light came on. So, we're just going to let this thing run into a harvest. See if it's strong enough to run the refrigerant to put it into a harvest. Then we get some of this junk all the way around. Let's take this top off. So, what we're going to be in here, it's a mixture of needing new water filter and just needing cleaning. This is supposed to be done at a minimum every six months. We've got hospitals that haven't done every three months. And even at every three months, they're usually needing cleaning. So, unfortunately, it would be not get done near as often as it should be. Done. But, this should be fairly simple. Like I said in a lot of my videos past, you'll notice that everything that's wrong with these is usually just a lack of maintenance. You can feel some warmth coming through here. There is our marine cleaner device coming through. What it does is just dumps hot gas through the evaporator plate to melt it off. And it bypasses. You see right here. Here's a TXV right there with the hot gas coming through and down into there and coming back and going into the suction. That's how they harvest it. Now, listen here, one of the older ones that doesn't have the sensors up here at the bottom like the newer ones do. This should start falling off here real soon. But, I think what we're going to find is most of our issues going to be with this water filter. So, we're going to get a new water filter on here. What we're doing right now is a lot of it's coming through. Going through the copper line. You can flush out any of the carbon. We just get that harvest a little new. Okay. The frost harvest. Same difference. All right. That's a lot better than it was. A lot better than it was. A lot better. So, we're going to give this thing a down and dirty. Look at that water pressure right there. That's nice. That's a nice screen right there. Can you see it? That means we've got good water pressure. Look at that. While it's running, we've got almost 25-30 pounds with a full nice screen like that. Let's go ahead and stop that because there's no reason to run it. And we'll do some down and dirty on this. Get this thing cleaned up. Same thing we did the last time. I'll pull the probe out here. Start running some cleaner through it and get her running. All right. So, the audio is going to be a little cruddy right here because I had the wrong microphone turned on. But hey, we're going to go ahead and get this thing cleaned out. I'm sure we got a little bit of growth back here in the back, which surprisingly we don't. Yeah, there we do. Here's a little bit of nasty growth. All right. Good deal. Get some of this thing cleaned out. See if we can get this thing up and going for them. That ice there is just about shot. This thing needs a good cleaning. We got the date on there. So, now I'll play. We'll know when it was new, not when they change it. You never know. Sometimes people get confused. Go ahead and grab the pliers and we'll take that thing apart. We have been trying out these crescent side cuts. They've been doing really good. And these Lyonsmans. They've been doing pretty good too. If you notice where the pivot point is right here, it's really close to the cutting edge, which gives it more leverage. They did the same thing here with this one right here. So, right now, so far, these are my two. They've been doing really good. Handles feel good. It's got a nice good cutting edge on it. And I've been using this one here. Not so sure I like this as much. I mean, if you like that style, I don't like it as much. But I don't know. They're smaller. There's probably a lot of it. But I mean, they work. They grip. They're a little less than what my canypics are, but for the most part, they do a good job. For $16 compared to $45, they're good enough to get the job done. So, if you don't have a lot of money and you're looking for a good quality tool that just, you know, it's definitely worth taking a look at. The linements and the side snips. Now, that is a different story. I feel as though these are pretty wicked. What I use this for is to loosen up some of these little thumb screws. They're just a little difficult to get in there and get a hold of them. There's clients sitting there saying these are not hammers. I have not broken a pair of linements yet by using them as hammers. I've had some cheaper pliers that have like really done an amazing job. So, yeah. Yeah, that's nasty. And I usually grab ahold of this right here and pull out and get that out of there. There you go. That's the distributor tray. Let me tell you, that's not been tore apart for a long time. So, we don't maintain this machine. It's done by done by their own personal maintenance people. Let's go ahead and clean some of this mucous membrane off of here and press the machine cleaned out. Get the girth membrane off of it and get it done and get out of here as quick as possible. Where the body wins. And then get all that nasty stuff out of there. As you can see, it looks like crap. That's the most important part. Let's go ahead and put it back together and start on some cleaner through it. Go ahead and we'll just clean this like this. So, this is where we're going to go grab the cleaner. Now, it is important to get right through here and get this cleaned up because that's going to be your water distribution and you want it to fall over equally all the way down the panel. If it's got any type of weird build up, you'll have to replace one of these little things here on top and you have silicone on it. The water will walk around that silicone. So, we'll make sure you get that all nice and clean and clear. Just like brand new again. Good for another 20 years. Yeah, there we go. Let's go ahead and get this back together. Now, one thing I will mention when I do this like this. I will dump the pan down below and rinse everything out with that. Even though it will rinse out on its own, I do dump it out because this stuff does tend to leave some residue behind in the drain pan down below. So, I do usually take that out one time and dump it and rinse it to get the last bit of the green stuff out. Just my own personal way of doing it. We've probably cleaned it back behind here yet. We're still going to do that one little piece down there at the bottom. Okay, I'll get this back up. There we go. And then we want to make sure we get up in here real good because there's a lot of crud up in there usually. We're going to have to probably just trash this ice. It just rinsed it off really good, but there's going to trash it. You can see it having an effect there on the metal. It's fizzing like an elka seltzer tab. Get that all loosened up and we'll rinse that off here in a little bit. And then we guys got her all cleaned up there. Little cheese pocket rinses this thing out real good. When you get water up in here, generally what you'll have problems with after the fact when you put it into freeze mode is you'll have it wanting to go into harvest. There's the water that's up here in this crevices up in here. So what I do is blow it out with some compressed air. Nitrogen or anything else that creates pressure. And I don't have that pressed on. But you can see we got it all nice and pretty much better than it was. All right, got her all cleaned out. Let's go back in there and put it back together. All right, smooth this thing back up and over again. Bring it down to the back side and out to the front. Now that is all high voltage in there. So make sure you don't get your fingers in there. I don't make these videos for freaking business owners trying to avoid paying somebody like us to do it. So honestly, just help some of the new guys or help just doing it for entertainment purposes. There we go. That's it. We're doing this for entertainment purposes. Originally it was to try to help the new guys. Now it's just for entertainment. Sure. Don't even know why I do it, honestly. Some people appreciate it. There's a lot of people who haven't done it before. And then they want to learn how to do it. It definitely is a yucky looking. And a little bit. Nope, nope, nope. Well, it's a little cold. Huh? It's sticking out. It's spitting out like black. Let's go through it. No, it's the grease and the air. It's getting sucked into the air conditioning coil. So yeah. And honestly, I prefer to have a different bib to catch some of the water water because all it does is make a hell of a mess all over all your stuff. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yep. Will wants to turn it back on. We have it in clean mode. It's starting to fill up, which you can see the water down there starting to come in. I'm going to go ahead and add our cleaner here. It goes down there. Yeah, they recommend on average probably three ounces. I think it is. Yeah. I'm going to make it three ounces for the S 300 and five ounces for the 4 to 50. Six ninety-four. So six ninety-four are going to be right around five ounces. So we're right on the money with what they're wanting. The big thing here is we're wanting to get all residual that's on the plates to release and housing build up because it's just like sandpaper. It doesn't allow the ice to slide off as well. The nickel coating on these plates is worn pretty good and it definitely helps them slide off. The ice slide off when it's clean. So soon as we get down with that, we should go and make some ice and I think the refrigerator hopefully is fine, but we'll find out here soon enough. We've got everything clean down here, all these up here. All right, it's rinsed a few times. So I like to take that out, make sure it's all clean. No build-ups in there, which it looks fine. The stuff you see there that's just left over from the build-up of calcium to water here is not the greatest. So let's go back in. Everything's clean. We've got to put it into clean mode. So that should start filling up here right now and start its freeze mode. We're going to put the stop back on and see how it does. All right, let's go up here on the roof. Let's take a look. Make sure this plow is clean. It's a little bit dirty. It's not plowable. Don't be doing this for long on some of these other units, so we'll let it go until then. It's been running for a little while. Let's take a look for a nice pattern here. It's a pretty good pattern even though it's frost. But it's been really top-left pouring with it. And now it just goes from the water, getting one of the edge pourers I usually wear is off after that. We're just about there. Yeah, I see it's hitting. See that right here? I want to move it away from it. It goes away. So it's ready to go into harvest right now. We'll check this out and see what it does. There it goes. Okay, time has turned out. Let's see what we get. All right, right now we're in a half area and I can feel that the very top is starting to loosen up. Let's see what we get here. Make sure we don't have any leftover floaties down here. It looks like it's all clean. Nothing fell down here because that's always the problem you're going to watch out for. The scoop fell down. That shouldn't be in here either. It wasn't too impressive but it did make us. Let's get the peak. It does look like it fell completely off. Yep, completely clean the pattern off. Completely clean off the plate. It's probably just a little bit thicker because that did not hit as hard as what I think it should have. They couldn't just do one slight adjustment. That's as far as it can go. Yeah, we'll try that and see how that goes. It's looking pretty good. We've got a big very bad device. Obviously we're going to make it now and that's going to work this up.
