Manitowoc BY1005W Harvest Problem

[Mike19]

Another tech at my company pulled a whole row off the evaporator in a cornelius, so it would make a double row of cubes. It worked ok to keep it going until we put a new machine in.

On a side note, the machine is from 96. At what point do you tell your customer it has outlived its useful life and is not worth repairing?

Thanks

This is that point.

By the time you replace the evap and ice mold grid, you are well on your way to the price of a new machine.

I know what you mean. I just did an evap in a IB1024, under warranty. I think the evap was over $1000, plus it took me five hours to put it in.

I'm afraid to ask you what Mani offered for warranty labor. From the lists I've seen for the QDUAL, it can't be much.

I just went over, it took me 5, they said 2 - 4 1/2. I was lucky, the machine was accessable from three sides, it could have been worse and taken longer. I closed the two shutoff valves so I only had to recover the charge in the head.
