D. Remove the Ice Thickness Probe
• Compress the side of the ice thickness probe near the
top hinge pin and remove it from the bracket.
NOTE: At this point, the ice thickness probe can easily be
descaled. If complete removal is desired follow the ice
thickness probe wire to the bulkhead grommet (exit point)
in the back wall. Pop the bulkhead grommet out of the
back wall by inserting fingernails or a flat object between
the back wall and the grommet and prying forward.
Pull the bulkhead grommet and wire forward until the
connector is accessible, then disconnect the wire lead from
the connector.
Ice Thickness Probe Descaling
• Mix a solution of Manitowoc ice machine
cleaner/descaler and water (2 ounces of cleaner/descaler
to 16 ounces of water) in a container.
• Soak the ice thickness probe a minimum of 10 minutes.
Descale all ice thickness probe surfaces and verify the ice
thickness probe cavity is descaled. Rinse thoroughly with
clean water, then dry completely. Incomplete rinsing and
drying of the ice thickness probe can cause premature
harvest.
