Understanding Manitowoc Ice Machine Parts

Duped by discharge kits? Tripped up by tubing? Baffled by baffles? Our collection of Manitowoc ice machine accessories can be overwhelming at first glance, especially when you consider matching each piece to the correct ice machine, but we're here to help. Many items in this category are meant to replace worn-out pieces on a machine that's still in overall good shape – tubing damaged by a cart's wheels or a broken bit of plastic, as examples. Others bring more functionality to your Manitowoc ice machine than it previously had, such as scoop holders, monitoring probes, and leg kits. We also have filters and cleaners to keep your Manitowoc running at peak capacity. All of the options in our Manitowoc accessories category can help you maximize value from your Manitowoc unit.
Replacement Manitowoc Ice Maker Parts
Replacement Manitowoc ice machine parts are a cost-effective way to extend the life and value of your ice maker. We carry everything, from tubing to Manitowoc ice machine compressors, so you can keep your machine running. Replacement pieces are incredibly cost effective compared to an ice maker replacement; if you can keep your machine working with an item from this category, you can save yourself a ton. The trick is finding out which piece will fix your problem and whether you can install it yourself or if you'll need to call a service professional. Manitowoc ice machine control boards may require some technical knowledge to install, for example.
Remote compressors frequently are purchased separately from the ice maker itself, which is why these are listed as separate parts. If something happens to your compressor, such as damage from an external source, you can purchase a new Manitowoc ice machine compressor that matches your existing machine.
Other common replacement items include light bulbs, tubing, electronics, and Manitowoc ice machine dump valves. Many Manitowoc ice maker parts are easily replaced on site, but you should check the product specifications page before purchasing to ensure you know what sort of equipment or assistance may be needed to install it.
Consider the warranty of your ice machine before replacing certain pieces yourself. If your machine is still covered by Manitowoc's warranty, you may need to contact Manitowoc before replacing any pieces yourself. Of course, small items such as lightbulbs are intended to be replaced by the end user, but replacing a compressor yourself might void your warranty. See our Manitowoc warranty guide for more information on maintaining your warranty.
Adding Functionality with Manitowoc Ice Machine Accessories
While replacement parts can help keep your Manitowoc running, our collection of Manitowoc ice machine accessories can increase the capabilities and convenience of your machine. All pieces in this category are made by Manitowoc, offering the same quality that convinced you to purchase a Manitowoc ice machine in the first place. However, not all accessories fit every machine. The product specification page for each item lists the Manitowoc ice makers that the accessory works with. We'll go over some of the most common and most useful Manitowoc ice machine accessories here.
Scoops & Holders
Ice scoops keep your ice sanitary, and an added scoop holder only increases the health benefits. Scoop holders can be attached to your ice bin, so operators always have convenient access to the scoop. A proper ice scoop prevents employees' hands from contacting the ice and is the only sanitary way to retrieve ice from the bin.
Bag Kits
Bag kits are added to the outside of your ice maker and enable easy packaging of ice for resale or transport. If you need bagged ice for any reason, a bag kit is necessary. Otherwise, you'll end up trying to scoop ice with one hand and bag it with the other, which is a recipe for frustration.
Adapters
Adapter kits contain the pieces necessary to fit your ice machine with a specific dispenser that otherwise wouldn't be compatible. These are built to work with specific Manitowoc ice machines and specific dispensers, so be certain the product specification page states that the adapter kit you're considering is meant for your exact products.
Legs & Casters
This category contains several different styles of ice machine supports. Adding legs to your ice machine enables you to clean beneath the machine and promotes airflow, while casters enable you to move your machine around easily. A moveable ice machine can be repositioned for easier access, but the main benefit is the ability to slide it from the wall to clean beneath and around it. Make sure the legs match the model of your machine.
There are many other niche pieces to be found in this category that add value to your Manitowoc ice machine. Be sure to consult the product specifications page for the product you're considering to verify it works with your machine.
Cleaning & Filtration
The last major category of Manitowoc accessories are the cleaning and filtration additions. Manitowoc water filters remove impurities from water before it enters your ice machine, providing clearer, cleaner ice and keeping your machine running better for longer. Manitowoc ice machine filters reduce scaling by removing minerals from the water before it gets into the vulnerable parts of the machine. Manitowoc water filters are easily replaced when they wear out. These are a good addition to any ice maker, provided you get the model that matches your machine.
The LuminIce II® and iAuCS® systems are some of the most popular Manitowoc ice machine parts that we carry. Both are automatic cleaning systems that reduce bacterial growth inside your ice machine, meaning you can offer clean, clear ice without spending as much time scrubbing to keep your machine clean. LuminIce utilizes UV light to kill or inactivate microorganisms within the ice machine. Ionizing the air that runs through the machine removes potentially harmful microorganisms and reduces yeast and bacterial growth.
Manitowoc's iAuCS system is an automated cleaning system. By loading cleaning chemicals into the iAuCS system, you can clean your ice machine without a service call, which saves you a lot of hassle and time. Check out our article on Manitowoc LuminIce and iAuCS systems for more information.
