Ice Maker evaporator

[Charlietracy]

I have a small Manitowoc ice maker that occasionally will not drop ice.
The problem seems to be a miss aligned evaporator horizontal section.
It sticks out about 1/16 in. from the vertical section. I can push it back in place and it will work for a few days. Can this be glued or can it be fixed

Kind of new to ice makers
Thanks
Charlie

Time for a new evaporator, although you might get a little more life out of it by grabbing the loose slat with a pliers and pulling it out

Yupppppp. Needs a new evap. Pretty easy change on a manitowoc. How old is the machine? I believe the serial number on those machines contains the date of manufacture.

up until about '06, is when I believe they switched their serial numbers. Some of the S series have the date added to the data plate though

What Danbb said. The evaps have a 5 year part and labor warranty on them.
