"Customer states that the freezer and ice maker stopped working over the weekend. Now the fridge is not cooling well. Inspected and found both zones in the low to mid 60s. Compressor and fans are on and running. Pulled fridge and checked rear for signs of dye, as previous sealed system was done in 2021. Tech finds no dye in the machine compartment, the condensate tray, or the freezer compartment. Connected guages to the access ports and checked pressures. Low side pressure is 42.4 and high side pressure is 97.5. Compressor has failed and gone efficient again after 4 years. Pressure indicate that a full charge of refrigerant is still inside the system, confirming tech finding with the uv flashlight. Provided customer a repair quote with compressor coverage, as we have POP and unit is less than 10yr old. Customer declined and will replace the machine. Job is complete."

Job Details: 05/13/2025
"Customer says that he shut the ice maker off last year and removed it from the install as he was having some major remodeling done in the basement. He recently reinstalled machine and attempted use, but found that the unit never harvests the cubes. Tech arrived and found a commercial 140lb manitowoc machine in the basement. Powered unit on. Dump valve releases the reservior, the refrigeration system kicks on, the reservior refills, and the circulation pump begins flowing water over the coil. Tech monitored production cycle to see if cubes will form and if harvest will occur. Cubes form and harvest does not occur. Ice continues to grow excessively large. Removed the reservior float switch from the reservior and harvest immediately occurs. Entire slab of ice successfully releases. Tech began making adjustments of the reservior float switch and monitored 3 more production cycles until cube and bridge size is proper. Tech asked that the customer monitor for any issues and to call back if adjustments are not proper. Job is complete."

Job Details: 05/13/2025
Customer says that the ice maker stopped producing. Has also noticed potential leaking as wooden trim near the fridge is splitting. Tech confirmed that the trim is swelling and removed the magnetic toe kick. Floor is wet on the front left corner of the fridge. Entered service mode and tried to fill the ice maker with water. Water valve hums but no water enters the ice mold. Tried three more attempts and then inspected the floor under the left front corner. Water is seen actively dripping onto the floor. Internal waterlines have separated and water is now spraying into the side case of the unit and leaking our wherever it can on the left side of the machine. Tech explained findings and explained that this particular issue is unrepairable as the waterlines are not serviceable. Customer just wants to shut the ice maker off at this time and will contact the manufacturer about any possibly warranty or recalls. Job is complete.
