Manitowoc Ice Machine Technician Factory Service School Info

Did you know that Manitowoc provides training at the factory, to properly diagnose and repair their ice machines?  These schools are for service technicians who are already trained in refrigeration and maintain an EPA card, amateurs need not apply.

The service school is a week long event, where technicians are provided with all the information necessary to improve the speed and completion of their ice machine maintenance.  Manitowoc provides literature, tools, and ice machines that they can simulate problems with.  This allows the technician to learn in a controlled environment, guided by Manitowoc factory service reps.

Tuition for attending the school is $795, which would include lodging.  Please see the registration form below for more information.

How To Look Up Manitowoc Parts Online

It's not always convenient to call the factory, be put on hold, or wait for a call back.  Thankfully, Manitowoc Ice has placed all of their parts breakdowns online in PDF format, so parts research can be done on your own.

All ice machines are listed directly on their website, no matter how old or what type.  This article will walk you through the steps of looking up your own ice maker parts, so that you can make an educated decision when ordering ice maker parts online.

1. First, point your browser to ManitowocIce.com



2. Next, scroll down to the bottom of the page.  Here you will see in the center, a Literature Tab, with a Downloads label.

3. Here you will use the first drop down menu to select 'Parts/Catalog List'.



4. After selection the second drop down menu will become active, allowing you to select the model of Manitowoc Ice maker you are looking to do parts research on.

5. Last, after choosing your model number, the 3rd drop down menu will become active, where you can select the exact model number of the machine you are looking parts up for.

6. Finally, a download button will become active.  Clicking this will take you to the PDF document with a complete parts break down for your Manitowoc ice maker.

I would recommend viewing Manitowoc parts breakdowns with either Adobe Reader software or Foxit.  If you have any questions, our good friends at Ice Maker Parts Shop are happy to help with parts research.
