Before Calling for Service Section 5

Part Number 000001114
Safety Limit Feature
In addition to the standard safety controls, such as the
high pressure cutout, your Manitowoc ice machine
features built-in safety limits which will stop the ice
machine if conditions arise which could cause a major
component failure.
Before calling for service, re-start the ice machine using
the following procedure:
1. Move the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF and then
back to ICE.
A. If the safety limit feature has stopped the ice
machine, it will restart after a short delay.
Proceed to step 2.
B. If the ice machine does not restart, see “Ice
machine does not operate” on the previous
page.
2. Allow the ice machine to run to determine if the
condition is recurring.
A. If the ice machine stops again, the condition has
recurred. Call for service.
B. If the ice machine continues to run, the condition
has corrected itself. Allow the ice machine to
continue running.
