As I mentioned in the description the audio is a little muffled, I tried to adjust as best as possible but unfortunately the wrong microphone was chosen in the beginning, then was corrected then got switched again. 🤦🏻🤷.... I believe it's a down and dirty, get it done and make it run type video so give it view and crush the like button, it really helps the video placement.
I think it sounds just fine, maybe a bit different than usual, but understandable without issues. I don't touch ice machines (or anything commercial kitchen related, and am not planning to change that), but still an interesting video. I am sometimes surprised how much gunk can hide in those things! Disgusting to think that might end up in your drink, and you won't even know...
@@jman0870 I didn't mean this particular machine, this one really wasn't bad. I was talking about those where brown gunk comes out in layers and mold is growing in the case... 🤮
It may be for entertainment purposes now, but I watch because you have knowledge to share, and I'm always Learning something new at times from them! Thanks, brother.
In regards to why you make these videos: you helped me out a ton when starting out and still return to you and learn after these past 2 years. I especially love when you do electrical troubleshooting because you talk us through it.
Good job Rick, I definitely appreciate your knowledge on all that you have taught me, don't always do your line of work, but I have learned a lot from you and Chris, about commercial refrigeration, and sometimes heating, but both of you have made me head strong on the whole heating and cooling subject.
What do I say other than thank you! It's crazy to think how recording what I'm doing during my everyday life is helping others. Who would have thought this would be possible 15-20 years ago. (Mind blown)
The company I work for doesn’t do refrigeration, but I have been thinking about making a change. It’s nice to see the refrigeration side of the business just in case I end up at a place that does refrigeration.
Have learned a lot from your videos man, coming from hvac experience and switching to industrial maintenance i have been dealing with these units a lot. Thanks for your big effort making these videos. Keep up with good work! Always good to learn stuff from somebody with experience!
oh how cute at 2:04 the 120v receptacle with the "hot" blade facing upwards. always place the neutral blade or ground pin upwards(commercial/garage/outdoors) why? in the case of it being partially unplugged and something falling across it (tools, aluminum foil, metal baking sheets/pans/pots) less chance of shocking someone and/or sparks flying. I had a chuckle at 2:46 "harvest sensor here", """"water thickness"""" 🤣 good ole bloopers only some will catch and understand.
Rick It’s been a month since I’ve been working with a commercial company. I’m coming from residential and you’ve helped me a TON. I really appreciate it man🤝🏾
Thank you so very much for making these videos. I do appreciate them. I have worked doing HVAC for about 12 yrs, and recently gotten into refrigeration as well. Your videos help a lot. Thanks my friend for your time and sharing your knowledge.
I appreciate your videos! Even though my body ain't up to HVAC I still find it fascinating, and your channel has a great variety with high quality commentary. :)
Right? I was literally scooping black shit out from under the evaporator on an Indigo this past week. Used a gallon of cleaner on it and it was only a 230lb (I think) machine. It was a baby, full of gunk!
Whenever I see one that’s got multiple sheets of ice that it can’t harvest stuck to it, I know to pay close attention to the evaporator. I don’t think they last as long as the old Q models did, unfortunately.
I agree, look for the plates separating and the slits coming apart. If they are not flush and flat with the panel, you're gonna have problems with the ice falling out.
I do usually, I might not of in this one. Unless you're going to spray behind the coil with a power sprayer like I've done on other videos, it's never is really clean. (3/8 plastic head)👍👍
Hello.....I'm considering buying either a Manitowoc IYT0450A-161 or a Hoshizaki KML325MAJ 30". I currently have a Hoshizaki KM-201BAH, which is too small. Both of the machines I listed will work to ice my sodas and food for my hot dog trailer and it would be placed in my basement. They Hoshizaki is about $300 more, so which would you reccomend for what I'd use it for and is the extended warranty from Amazon a good idea? I use approximately 180 lbs to 240 a day, depending on the weather. Thanks.
We sell Manitowoc and it works good if it’s kept clean however usually then Hasaki is more resilient against abuse and not being cleaned. But I’m not sure about the smaller Machines from Hoshizaki.

@@unmountablebootvolume that wasn't even a dirty one. I've seen them soooooo much worse. Think about that for a minute haha

@@unmountablebootvolume I know. I was agreeing with you haha
@@unmountablebootvolume "no ice" come to mind, then again, it helps build your immunity 🤪🤪
Watching you and hvacr videos have made me avoid restaurant ice. 😂
Good!
Rick, you are the Wizard of many things, thanks for the entertainment !

Keep up the videos it’s always nice to get real world knowledge and tips from an experienced tech. I always pick something up from your videos.
Thanks brother!

Wow, awesome! Grow and keep climbing to the top 👍👍
Great little vid and sharing your knowledge with others is a good thing ... Thx for posting as always ... Hey to Chronic ...
Thank you so very much for making these videos. I do appreciate them. I have worked doing HVAC for about 12 yrs, and recently gotten into refrigeration as well. Your videos help a lot. Thanks my friend for your time and sharing your knowledge.
🤜🤛👍👍 thank you!
Awesome video Rick.. hope you remembered to close the drain valve on the filter.. looked open at the end..
Keep them coming 👌
😂🤷🍺🍺🙉. I'm pretty sure I did, but with as much water as they waste I don't know if they would even notice
lol, well it's certainly flushed out all the loose carbon granules by now. 🤣🤣🤣 whoopsie-daises
Ordered dem pliers. Good video Ricky!
I appreciate you, I get the nuggets of knowledge and entertainment from your videos, so don't stop entertaining us lol
🤜🤛😂👍👍
Excellent job
You do it because you care. And you are an awesome tech. Keep them coming.
Dude, thank you! Really🙏
Nice! Nothing like little nickel in your ice
I appreciate your videos! Even though my body ain't up to HVAC I still find it fascinating, and your channel has a great variety with high quality commentary. :)
Thanks hardriveguru 👍👍. I really appreciate the feedback🤜🤛
Spot on always very helpfull and interesting, keeps me ftom going rusty😅
Thank you!
Love those crescent dykes best I’ve used
I appreciate your videos buddy !!
@@walterhumphries3202 thank you!
I have like a portable icemaker, and it looks somewhat like that on where the ice forms😂😂
Great Video. Thank you for sharing. What is Ice machine unit on roof ? and what's it use for ?
That's the condenser coil. This was a remote unit
I always thought that black stuff was the carbon from the old filter breaking up.
Looks clean to me compared to the typical machine.
Right? I was literally scooping black shit out from under the evaporator on an Indigo this past week. Used a gallon of cleaner on it and it was only a 230lb (I think) machine. It was a baby, full of gunk!
Much appreciated 👍👍

Wondering if you ever remove the plastic piece at the bottom of the evaporator or the pump.
I do usually, I might not of in this one. Unless you're going to spray behind the coil with a power sprayer like I've done on other videos, it's never is really clean. (3/8 plastic head)👍👍
My senior tech will use a copper pipe for a hammer lol 😂
There are many ways to skin a cat…
Easier to shoot it😂
I wouldn’t let your wife see this video. She might make you do the dishes from now on.
She doesn't like the way I do them, lol
good maintenance , so easy to do and so easy to ignore , then the call arrives , it’s not making ice
Bingo bro🍺🍺

@@HVACRSurvival It wouldn't be abused because it'll be in my basement and would only scoop about 180 pounds a day out of it once a day.
👍💪🇺🇸❄️ thanks 🙏
What no sanitizing?
Just saying.....make sure you ask for extra ice for your drink!!
Always👍👍😂
@@HVACRSurvival love the vids thank you
If you replaced enough parts over time you will have a brand new machine.
It takes allot to get them to replace machines.
Hey, so which ice machine brand is for friendly for technicians and customer?
We sell Manitowoc, they are easy to work on and we get parts quickly.
@@HVACRSurvivalGreat! Thanks for the reply. Im going to recommend this brand to my customers. I see that Manitowoc has more options.
Are we not entertained!?! 😂
Dance monkey 🐒 dance!
👍👍👍
Definitely a iceocrapic
My ice maker machine is produce only one round and fail
231 thumbs up
Way too much cleaner
Please change your mumble mic. The audio is really bad despite saying you changed it.
That's the only video like that, once it's recorded bad like that there's nothing you can do.
Thanks, I appreciate the vids
