Why does
the fuse keep blowing on my ice machine?
There are a number of reasons that the fuse on the control board of your
ice machine is blowing. However the most
common reason is a leaking dump valve.
Typically a
dump valve will leak out of the top, allowing water to come in contact with the
terminal on the coil. This will blow the
fuse located on the Manitowoc control board.
To repair,
simply replace the Manitowoc dump valve and then replace the blown fuse. Manitowoc only makes two different types of
dump valves, which come complete with valve and coil. There is a 115v dump valve, part number
000001767 and a 208-230v dump valve, part number 000001768.
