Food inspectors will pay very close attention to the quality of ice storage bin being used. Ice is a food product, so a storage bin is considered a food zone. An inspector will look to make sure there are no signs of rust, proper functionality, and a good seal. This is why it's important to replace a bin door anytime it is damaged.
Manitowoc bin doors can be very expensive, but a necessary part to keep in proper working order. They are easily replaced, so save money by replacing a bin door yourself, instead of paying a service technician. Many Manitowoc part dealers online can sell the door at a discount, with the part being delivered right to your door.
Ice Maker Parts Shop offers one of the most popular Manitowoc bin doors, the 7628453 for sale. However, this does not come with the barrel hinges. This door is used on S Series storage bins like the S400 and S570.
Before replacement, ensure that the door itself is damaged and not the part that it mounts to. The deflector in most bins is what the door hinges on, which can have a hairline crack, keeping the door from hinging or laying properly. A crack in the deflector will also keep the door from remaining open when lifted.
To extend the life of an ice storage bin, train your employees to properly use the equipment. Leaning on the plastic door and being rough with opening is the most common cause of damage. Slamming of the ice bin door can also cause premature failure, so be easy with it!
