 We gotta go with that humongous picture. I mean, humongous picture, not just big. I mean, we gotta go humongous picture. That way you know that you don't just fix the one problem, you go for multiples. All right, today's subject is ice machine. It's not making ice. We're turned off. No ice at all down here. This machine's beyond ready to be replaced, but we'll see what we can do to make it run. All right, nickel coatings pretty much completely gone. Needs cleaned. Let's see what happens here. All the buttons are busted here. See if we can reach in there with our pin, because we can't quite reach it. See if we can make this thing run. All right, so it was adding water. And the brush just kicked on. See if it starts getting cold. Can't get into this at all. We have a freezer right beside it, which makes it a little more difficult to work on it. And a shutting system right beside the other side, and stuff right over top of the top. So we check the filter. Seems to be letting water through. That's one of the things that usually goes wrong. And so we're back. We're trying to see the lines going to the remote condenser. One's fairly hot. The other one coming back is fairly cold. All right, so we just shut off the water. It's something Scott's been has a tendency to do when their sensor and their line does not get cold enough quick enough. That little line sensors right there. So we may have a dirty condenser. Could be long refrigerant. Because what it's doing is trying to get that panel colder. So there's no start up again. So we'll see what we got. We may have to throw the gauges on and make up on the roof. Take a look. Because I know there's no maintenance or anything like that being done on these. So we're running about 35 on our suction, about 220 on our heads. The pressure's looked about normal, but our discharge gas here isn't very hot. That usually would be fun enough to burn your hand and eventually it gets hot, but not too impressed. They said it runs for a while. Sometimes it makes ice. Then it starts to fall behind. You know, I can tell the suction line is oldish, but it's not real cold. Everything leaving me down the path of might be a little low on our refrigerant. When I go up on the roof, check the condenser coil. A dirty coil will buy you some time to be in low. So we'll go up there and see what we got going on. Here's one of those things guys you wanna watch out for is grease on the roof. You walk through it, and then you track it right onto your ladder. And then next thing you know, you're making your rungs slippery and everything else. So see what we got here. It's obviously not too horribly dirty. Got multiple dryers on this thing or are those mufflers of some sort? Interesting. All right, so it's not horrible. So that's not one of our issues. Couldn't have a fan going out. We could have all kinds of things going on. Just don't know right yet. Especially if it's gonna make ice for a day or two or then finally slow production down. Really hard to say. Plus, one of the things we're running into right now is it's cool in the evenings and plus fairly warmer during the day. So that'll play games with refrigerant also. It would help to know and what the code was on the machine. So we'll see if we can turn it off and back on. It'll tell us I think the last one or two codes. That's not the newest blue controller but it does have some diagnostics on it. So we'll see what we've got there. All right, so come back down. It's already in harvest. Got one 75, about 85. Keeps start dropping here and melting away. You can see it's not releasing very quickly. The top ones up here start to melt quite a bit. Right there, I didn't turn it off. It went off on its own. One, two, three, one, two. Two flashes on the water. I did hear a squeak out of it when it shut off. May have a control module taken a poo poo. Two waters, I'll have to read to the book here. All I got is the one to the blue one which is very similar. Two blinks for water, water section. Makes two times repeats. Water level not rising fast enough. Lack of water supply. Fothers are strictly low pressure. Standpipe height incorrect. Purge valve leaks through. Water leaks out of salt. All right, well, water level is not horribly low. May have to start this over again to see what we get. Those very, there's some of our marks. Yeah, I think maybe it might be getting a little ahead of itself but start over again. Hit the off button, clear that out. Instantly down to zero. You can see I had this before because I wrote 30 over 35 while filling with new water filter. So water filters are an issue, but yeah, see the trickle? Mine bog luring it. All right, yeah, see the water pressure come back up to about 40, about 50, 55. So we're gonna get a new water filter on there. Not when there's nine months old. Obviously the water here is pretty bad, even though it's city water. Well, it comes out of a reservoir and some reason has some of the highest calcium buildup as I've seen. Okay, so the bleed are wide open. We're at 20 pounds. So make sure when you change these that you're bleeding these out, it gets all the carbon to build up and stuff out of there. I think it's somewhere right around five gallons you're supposed to run through it. And then it just purges down the drain down there. And while we're at it, we're gonna go ahead and do us a little cleaning because it looks a little bit dirty. Everybody's favorite. I know, we'll go through, we'll get some of this nasty stuff cleaned out, get the bottom there all drained out and we'll get her all cleaned up. So all this gray stuff down here that I'm stirring up, that's the nickel coating they put on the plate a lot of times. So I'm gonna get this all stirred up and it usually stays in the bottom so it doesn't usually go anywhere major. But we're gonna stir that up and then I like to pull my little drain tube here and that helps cycling it all out a little bit better than hoping it eventually just drains it out. So I'm gonna stir that up and get some of this crap out of here. And then we either wipe the rust out with a towel or whatever. I thought we were just gonna try to get some of the obvious stuff out of there and get it cleaned up as best as possible. Anyway, we've done everything we can do to make sure it stays reliable. We ended up getting it pretty cleaned up tore completely apart, got a lot of munk and funk and junk out of there, made it look a lot nicer. Well, still got some more cleaning to do on it yet. All right, so they got all that washed out, got all that washed out, just basically poured water in there. This calcium crap, you're not gonna get it off very easily without scrubbing for days. And it's looking a lot better than what it was. So it'll be at least now healthy and clean and working good. We got it all back together. Everything's clean now. Like I said, we got a little calcium here. We got all that nasty funk and junk off of it. Got some cleaner running through it right now. So once this is done with that part, we're gonna go ahead and get her running and make sure she runs okay, which I think we're gonna be fine. Water pressure stayed high the whole time that we were doing the fill. So we're gonna go ahead and probably say we're fine on the refrigerant charge. We've seen how fast it froze down and dropped. So the cube's looking normal. So between that and just the usual maintenance of what we needed, it's probably all we're gonna need to do. The filter, I got the date on it. I'm gonna put on there change it six months to eight month area, but whether that gets done, we'll find out. So right now, the water seems to be trailing down pretty good. Like I said, we got all this, completely disassembled and cleaned, which just is the easiest way to do it. Just take the whole pump out and everything like that and just get her all cleaned up. There's not a whole lot left on this plate far as any nickel coating. So I mean, that is what makes the ice drop off a lot easier, but with these machines here, they're pretty resilient. Do a pretty good job even when they don't have it. So it won't be a humongous deal. So all we're gonna do is just run it through and see how it does. So far, so good. Starting to freeze down, got everything tightened up. Let's see what we get here. So we just went into harvest. Take a peek-a-roo right here. You can see it's changing colors a little bit. Scott's been one of the key of the turns on the water to help make it fall out. Manitouak doesn't usually do it. Remember, Hachisaki does or not. And we do have two plates on this. So it's putting on quite a bit of ice when it does it. There we go. It's a little bit better too, when I was able to use the solution there from the pan. Like I said, it's just a calcium. It's just an old machine, but if it's working, Soviet harvest is about done. Make sure this thing goes into a free cycle again, and we will call it quits. Mungus picture. Not just big. I mean, we gotta go humongous picture. That way you know that you don't just fix the one problem, you go through multiples. So it could have gotten away with probably not cleaning it, but that's not really doing a good service with the customer. It also leaves you on the hook. If someone else comes out and finds that it needs clean. So biggest thing in this field is making sure you don't get callbacks anymore than you need to. Any unnecessary ones that are preventable. We're not perfect, but we definitely can try to do it as best as we can. Now the first harvest on power backup, I'm pretty sure is a lot longer than normal. Once it's running, I will leave it goes and short itself up a little bit. So it's kind of getting a baseline. I'm kind of going off of memory. Like I said, I think we sold the Scotsman long ago, but now obviously we do Manitowoc, so I don't always remember everything on them, but I do quite a few of them just not all the time. So this should go back into freeze here any minute now. All right, so it went back into freeze, and it's freezing down. I'm gonna say we're probably good to go. The water seems to be trailing across the panel pretty good. It's already gotten quite a distance into it. So we're gonna go ahead and wrap this one up. You guys like the video?
