This ice-o-matic ice machine kept shutting off. The fan was not working. The machine would over heat and shut off. There was a flashing red light in the front. After troubleshooting it and talk to iceomatic tech support I found the the fan cycle switch was not working properly. I fixed this iceomatic ice machine by bypassing the fan cycle switch.
Thank you for the video definitely learn something every time you post one. Thoroughly enjoy learning more more.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
You got a hold of product support on the first ring!! I usually have to have him call me back 2 hours later and I'm not at the job
Yes same here. I was surprised. Hopefully that’s the new normal.
That tech support seemed really excited lol
He didn’t want to be at work. lol.
piggyback terminals are awesome, didnt realize they are so cheap. Deff gonna get some for those ECM rescue motors with multiple directions! only thing i would have done differently would be to just wago or wire nut those together instead. Otherwise ive done the same thing on smaller U/c style icemakers with the same issue! I wire the CFM to the water pump since during harvest the smaller units dont use water assisted harvest, and you can do a quick fix that will be pretty reliable for the long run assume ambi temp is climate controlled
Using the wire nut is definitely one of my go to moves. I have the Piggyback so I might as well use it.
Nice job 👍👍👍

Great video. Thank you for sharing. May I ask, is fan control switch was bad and bypass fan control switch ?
Bypassing the switch is a good way to fix the machine. The fan does need to cycle on/off in cold temperatures so that the high side pressure doesn’t fall too low.
Do any ice machines have variable speed fan motor controls?
I’ve seen some look slow. I never thought the cycle switch could slugging.
Im not sure. I know the iceomatic fans start off slow and pick up speed as they run.

What do you do for the units that use R404 if something like a compressor needs to be replaced? Retrofit or 100 bucks a Lb 404?
I don’t think 404 is a $100 bucks a pound.
I'd rather work on an Avantco ice machine than work on a crap-o-matic. I've had customers have evap plates separate after only 2 years.
Ice-O-Matic has had some struggles recently. Ive seen the same thing unfortunately. They keep making upgrades to the machines and I think they are headed in the right direction.
Easy one
Im gonna have to find something a little more difficult for you sir.
@@IceMachine411 lol why don't you come fix some chill water system with me and troubleshoot the mortuary when it's down
Oh heck no! I refuse to go to a mortuary.
