    Re: Manitowoc ice machine

    Your condenser delta-T is 30-35F (120-90=30, 120-85=35). This indicates insufficient air flow through the condenser. Since the condenser has been cleaned repeatedly, that leaves the fan motor and fan blade. It is possible that the motor bearings are starting to wear out, slowing the fan and locking up intermittantly. I would replace the motor and blade.

    This may or may not be the problem. Intermittant problems are the most difficult to diagnose.

    Let us know how it works out.
