Attachment 327341

I'd say it had a minor case of separation

Well you got to die from something might as well be from ice machine snot. I mean why would you want to die in bed with lovely blond after hitting the Power Ball for a hundred million or so?

This why I disinfect my ice by covering/washing it with Scotch before I consume. Kill's all that crud.

kontrol out

It's supposed to help us build up our immune systems! Yum.

Not all of them. My wife used to be a gm there. She said they just checked in the bin. All the owners had them do was wipe it down. That being said it was nowhere near that bad.

YUM YUM

just wedge some pieces of pvc in there to hold that plate in.....that'll work, right? Grrr....

well looks normal to my eyes..... its only a little bit of snot...get over it ...they all look like that....

"five...
five dollar...
five dollar butt leak"

The Hoshi was also a cleaning call, customers had been complaining of black specks in the ice. When I pulled the plastic pieces off the top of the evaporator, both sides fell off. I put it back together as best I could. It only makes ice on half of the evap. New evap going in Monday.

Yes, you have to love those machines mounted on beverage dispensers. When you empty all the ice out of the bin to clean the black stuff off the ice machine, the customers get mad they can't get ice and you're in the way. They don't get to see to appreciate what a favor we are doing them.

Gotcha. That's an easy one to change all by itself. I recently put a TXV in an old 502 unit the customer didn't want to replace.

Hoshi evaps are dirt cheap and I make good $$$ changing them. New machine comes from a catalog and I make nothing

New evap? why not a new machine?
