On a Scotsman, Code 8 means there's a short freeze cycle. This is caused by: due to scale buildup Misadjustment of ice thickness sensor A broken, bent, or dismounted ice thickness sensor. To clean the spillway surface, see the below directions.
I did see it before. sometimes it happens due to faulty ice thickness probe. it would not build thick enough ice and go to harvest, since ice is thin it would never trigger curtain sensor and will run in harvest very long. or curtain sensor is bad
@@MaratRPMSoCal First I thought that Code 2 was being triggered by the harves assist probe getting stuck and not going out all the way out to push the ice. Then sometimes the ice would fall and on the next freeze cycle it wouldn't run very long and Code 8 would flash.
I notice they would act up if you get ice machine cleaner on those, but they would work if you clean them with water very good and dry them out after cleaner
Marat RPM SoCal - from that point, if you try to read continuity with a multi-meter and the tips of the probe are covered with an insulator, you’re absolutely not going to get a reading. As well with the ice thickness sensor. If the sensor is covered with anything that will not allow it to sense continuity, it not gonna work. But the sensor itself is not acting up. I work directly for Scotsman and realize the loss of surface tension at the spillway is 99.999% of the problem. The only other problem it could be is a broken single black wire back to the controller or the control board is bad. Good luck my friend. Great video
@@BartSimpson-nr1dy Good to know, thanks. I call sensor and wire as a sensor since it comes in one piece. broken of wire would be a bad sensor for me, I notice after ice mach cleaner scotsman and Manitowoc Q series gives me wrong reading at the controllers.
I could tell from the color of the liquid in the bottle that it was not the leak detector. However , I would have relabeled the bottle in case someone else thought it was leak detector.
Dealing with this right now. Thanks for posting. Saves a lot of head-scratching
Wish there was some narration on what he was doing and why.
Exactly
Just did my first one of this type yesterday. Thanks for this training video's helped me a bunch. Did a major cleaning
Nice!!!
well done ---- trust that this finds you at best, safety on job and o k atmosphere wise👍
Thank You!
Awwww yeahhh...whats cooler than cool ???
Ice cold baby !
I have Error Code 8 and 8 flashing. Ice machine stopped working. What could be a problem?

Anybody recognize the cleaners being used in the video? I’m looking for something better than what I’ve been using
I use Nickel safe most common cleaner. Its a green liquid. For coil cleaner is a Nubrite brand - blue liquid. ✌️
Thank you.
@@MaratRPMSoCal Thanks
Can a normal person do this or do you need to be certified
Some of our customers do on their own, not always the way we do it, so sometimes we have to re-do it
Have you ever had the Code 2 Max Harvest Time then later Code 8 would Flash?

How did y’all fix these error codes 2 & 8?
What if it shows b which means bin is full. What can I do to fix it?
I'm having the same issue now and all my sensors appear to be testing correct. Curtain switch, ice thickness sensor, harvest assist. I'm stumped
how much something like this would cost? PM, De scale.. It is gonna take over an hour or even two hours.
300-400 labor wise I guess
Company I work for charges just under $300 for PM cleaning estimated at 2.5 hours.
So ya cleaned it right?
👍
Good video !
GoPro is shatterproof ? 😁
hanging there on one leg))
Im surprised it still works
Ice thickness sensors never act up. They either work or don’t work
I notice they would act up if you get ice machine cleaner on those, but they would work if you clean them with water very good and dry them out after cleaner

Change the ice thickness sensor whit time relay - and no more problems.
Great Idea but I don't like it. Same way can wire it to low pressure switch, go of that reading
Como programo
I still dont see what spraying leak detector all over the damn machine was gonna tell him... smh
lol. Its a nickel safe ice machine cleaner in that bottle, it breaks hard deposits

@@MaratRPMSoCal some people are dumb ass. Lol
Good job.
