When I first started working at pub I was instructed to let the ice machine drain on a Sunday night and then just turn it back on again on Monday evening. As soon as I was trusted enough to be given a set of keys the first thing I did was go in on Monday morning and strip the ice machine down. It was not a nice sight, or smell. My boss responded to my actions by suggesting the staff pour a glass of line cleaner through the machine once a week rather than properly cleaning it. Like the 'mug' I am, I told them I'd deal with it and that became another unpaid job added to my workload. There was no way I was going to let anyone use beer line cleaner in the ice machine.

Now I am watching the video in detail and you are also very detailed showing and justifying the problems caused by UNQUALIFIED technical personnel, or incorrectly chosen by the contractor.

I'm always fighting the 'Time' fight.

Also that your control pad data can give you valuable insights if you know how to interpret the values. Thanks, once again it's been a pleasure.

good thing considering an ice machine cleaning cycle does "NOT" actually clean the system. It just allows the chemicals 'that you add' to work on the salts and calcium left behind by the water by circulating the water without draining.

Another great video on ice machines! One thing I learned about ice machines this week was go to the manufacturers web site & download their service manuals. I cant believe the time I spent struggling & trying to learn everything on my own. These manuals (at least the Hoshizaki ones) are very detailed oriented & will tell you everything from order of operations, explanations of components, what circuit pins to jump out when isolating problems, to general maintenance & installation. They can really help shorten the learning curve for us ice machine rookie techs.

Love your work and your professionalism.I'm not involved in any repair work but enjoy learning about what makes and breaks the the machines that effect our everyday life. One thing that does keep coming up is that people seem to work on the idea that these machines just keep running without the need to clean them regularly .

Bartender: What can i get ya? Bond: Anything without ice......

Nice! You clearly take pride in your work! This is one of those 'hidden' jobs that no one thinks about, yet if we suddenly had no ice machines, it would be VERY noticeable and not good.

Jesus. I'm glad to know that there are techs like you cleaning up these machines that people neglect that we use everyday . That shit was nasty

Job well done. Again. It just makes me feel good to know that there are great techs like you out there, doing the necessary work the right way. You are a super tech, my friend. :)

I love your passion on doing a great service and doing it the right way! There are so many hacks out there . So wish you where in Michigan! No one can figure out my issues I have with my Air conditioner not being able to cool the house properly without having to use box fans. Keep up the great work and great videos!

As a fellow technician(in a different trade) I appreciate your thoroughness and dedication to do the job correctly according to spec. Machines run much better when they are operated according to spec.

Believe or not a majority of the time when people are violently ill from a restaurant it’s because of the ice machine is not properly taken care of. It’s pretty amazing how much bacteria will build up inside of one. That most of the restaurants I take care of I will thoroughly clean and sanitize the ice machines at least twice a year. And I always test the ice before I give it the OK. My sense of taste and smell is sharp like a bloodhound. 👍🏻

New drain line looks great, but I'm curious why you use copper instead of pvc? I like to use 3/4" pvc for the drain lines. its cheaper, easier to run, and I've found that Vinyl tubes and copper seem to be more susceptible to clogging with limescale or slime over time. Also, I like to add a union 2 or 3 feet below the Tee, just in case I have to pull out the machine and don't want to remove the drain line.
