  • I received this Avantco ice machine as a gift and it wasn’t working when I received it. I went through some troubleshooting procedures to determine why this Avantco ice machine wasn’t working. Found out there were three different problems. I fixed a refrigerant charge issue, a drain plug problem and a curtain switch malfunction. This Avantco ice machine is now up and running and making ice.

    I think it’s more dangerous when manufacturers don’t put service fittings on r290 / r600 systems. One of the bigger commercial brands over here put a suction and liquid line access port, so if you’re unsure whether it’s SOG or a restriction you can atleast blow through the capillary. The problem with sweating in a suction port is that if your capillary is blocked you still have a system full of 290. I’ve done the same as you did here though also 😄👍🏻 good video mate

      I agree. There should be ports. Specifically designed ports for r290.

    • @IceMachine411
      @IceMachine411  Před měsícem +1

      Definitely should be ports on these. They just need to design ports that work well with r290.

      That’s the future. More and more manufacturers are using R290

      For real. Me too. Most machines will be 290 before too long.

    How does this Avantco determine when to harvest?

    • @IceMachine411
      @IceMachine411  Před 7 dny

      I think it’s the water float. When there’s no more water in the trough it gos into harvest.

      @@IceMachine411 I tracked down the manual online and it would seem to be time based after evap reaches 32F. I presume this as the adjustment on the "digital" thickness adjustment equals "+/-90 seconds to freeze cycle". I'm not sure if I trust that method.

    What, no parts or tech support on Advatco? Im not surprised.

      Small things like that make all the difference in the world. We don’t by products we can’t get parts and support for. It’s a solid machine though and affordable.
