How to troubleshoot high head pressure in my water-cooled Vogt Ice Maker?

  Dawn GarciaAug 31, 2025
  To troubleshoot high head pressure in your water-cooled Vogt Ice Maker, consider these possible causes: a misadjusted or defective water regulating valve, which you should adjust or replace. Insufficient water supply, so check the size of the water line and pump output at the condenser. The cooling tower may need maintenance, so check the cooling tower fan belt and tighten or replace it as needed. Non-condensables (usually air) in the system; check refrigerant tables for correct pressure/temperature relation. A fouled (dirty) condenser; follow the diagnostic procedure outlined on page 7-3, Section 7, and clean the condenser per instructions under Condenser Cleaning.

What causes high head pressure in my air-cooled Vogt TUBE-ICE 05TA?

  High head pressure in your air-cooled Vogt Ice Maker can be caused by several factors. The condenser fan(s) may not be running due to a defective motor, fan control switch, fan contactor, or a tripped circuit breaker in the control panel (CB2). Replace any defective parts and check the condenser fan disconnect for a thrown switch or blown fuse. A dirty condenser restricting airflow can also cause this issue, so visually inspect the condenser and clean it as necessary. Additionally, non-condensables (usually air) in the system can be the cause. Follow the same procedure as specified for removing non-condensables from a water-cooled machine, but also evacuate the air-cooled condenser.

What causes a low compressor oil level in my Vogt Ice Maker?

  A low compressor oil level in your Vogt Ice Maker can be attributed to several factors. The oil separator may not be returning oil, so check the oil separator float and oil return stop valve (70) and line for any restrictions. Repeated short cycling, where refrigerant carries oil out of the compressor, is another cause, usually resulting from freeze-up, low refrigerant charge, low head pressure, a faulty timer, a faulty pressure switch, or a clogged expansion valve. Worn piston rings can also lead to low oil levels. Replacing the compressor is the best solution.
