    If it was leaking by there would be NO frost. That frost is coming from the outlet of the valve.

    Conduction.

    If it was leaking buy it wouldn’t frost. Hot gas on the other side of the valve not Liquid!

    I like cleaning Ice Machines. Nice easy job ( that takes quite a bit of time) . I work for a hospital so I can take the time to do it right. In the field it it hard to get paid to do a correct cleaning ( too much time) . The issue I end up with is going behind a guy that did not do it right and the ice sensors ( like the manitowic) are so bad that by the time you get them cleaned right they end up early harvesting on you. It a issues on them anyway, but more so if it is in very dirty/bad shape.
