Signs of a Faulty 000015209 Ice Thickness Control Probe
A malfunctioning 000015209 ice thickness control probe can significantly impact your Manitowoc ice machine's operation, leading to various issues with ice production. Keep an eye out for these telltale signs:
Ice Production Issues:
Overproduction of ice: The machine keeps making ice even when the bin is full, causing overflow and potential water damage.
Underproduction of ice: The machine stops producing ice before the bin is full, leaving you with insufficient ice supply.
Inconsistent ice thickness: Variations in ice thickness within the bin may indicate inaccurate sensor readings from the probe.
Operational Problems:
Ice machine not cycling properly: The machine might not switch between ice production and harvest cycles due to faulty probe signals.
Error codes or flashing lights: Some models display error codes or flashing indicators on the control panel, potentially pointing to issues with the probe.
Water leaks around the probe: This could indicate a damaged washer or improper installation, causing inaccurate readings and potential water damage.
