Ice-O-Matic water seal and gear box replacement

In this video i go over how to replace the water seals inside the evaporator. In order to access the second seal in the evap, you have to remove the gear box. So if you need info on removing the gear box just watch me make my way through the unit.
I originally made this video for myself but decided to share it with everyone else in case you run across the same issue. It isn't the greatest but i think it hits the basics well enough.
Thanks for watching. I'll be uploading more videos. Remember, you can have fun doing restaurant repair and still be professional.

How much labor and parts does it cost to replace a gear box?

[@Srpskeoci]

Just want to express my gratitude for this video that you put up. Had to replace the gearbox assembly last Friday, and I've never done one before. Thanks to this video i was able to swap it out and get it running again. Once again, thank you.

[@gurvanduncan2703]

hello and thank you. If I work on my machine, does replacing the gear box or motor require me to touch anything with to compressor or gas removal?

[@gtjdbydave]

You shouldn't need to remove any freon or cut any refrigerant lines

What stops the water from flowing out the top where the ice is harvested to allow it to freeze?

[@gtjdbydave]

the water reservoir and overflow tube sit just below the top of the evap. preventing water from overflowing out the top. If the reservoir was raised above the evap, then you'd have issues with water overflowing. (I hope that made sense)

Great explanation!

I need to replace my gearbox. How do I separate the gearbox from the evaporator?
Thanks

[@gtjdbydave]

it's been years since i have done one but once all the screws are removed, i lightly pry with a screw driver. I don't know if they recommend that but it's what i did.
