Wait, so is this a CVD unit? or a remote that someone hacked together to try to make a CVD unit? CVD units are hard enough with a matching condensing unit, but some random hacked-together piece of equipment would be something I would not touch. Quote them a new machine and leave it at that would be my course of action

That sounds like a total nightmare.
Thanks Ice. I agree with you: use the matching head and condenser pair-up. But that wasn't my call. Apparently it was all bought and installed as: used; almost new. <g> Someone installed a 3 HP Trenton condensing unit as the Manitowoc remote condenser and the compressor either failed or maybe the condensing unit was a "rebuild" with a 2 HP compressor stuck in it. <g> "sometimes it makes ice - but not now" was the customer's summation. <g> I told them that I would only work on it against an upfront retainer. When that shows up I'll find out more. PHM ------ Originally Posted by icemeister What's the model number of the machine?

76-2687-3 60hz single phase 208/230v $1,897.00 LIST price USD 76-2688-3 60hz 3 phase 208/230v $2,065.00 LIST price USD If your not in the USA the 50hz compressor will have a different Model Number
Icemeister is right! I could not have said it better myself. We are not just trying to sell you compressors at a higher price. We are trying to save you a headache. An off the shelf may even work ok for a few months but because ice machines have an 'agressive' harvest cycle the compressors have to be 'beefed' up from the normal spec.

If I remember right its a 20,000 btu/hour copeland, but I'll check tomorrow for you
