Manitowoc Ice 2008029 Control Probe
The Manitowoc Ice 2008029 Control Probe is a critical sensor for automated ice thickness regulation, functioning as the primary signal to initiate the harvest cycle. Also identified as 20-0802-9, this ice thickness control probe is engineered for a wide range of high-capacity units including the S-Series, Q-Series, and SY models. A common failure point for technicians is the E19 error code or E12 sensor fault, which typically indicates a fouled lead or a harvest switch that has drifted out of calibration. This OEM-spec component features a 47-inch lead with 3/16-inch female terminals, specifically designed to withstand the high-moisture environment of the evaporator plate. By accurately sensing water contact over the ice bridge, the 2008029 probe ensures consistent cube density and prevents the machine from over-freezing or entering a premature harvest, preserving the longevity of the compressor and water system.
Key Benefits for Commercial Ice Production- Precise Harvest Initiation: Eliminates inconsistent ice shapes by ensuring the harvest cycle begins only after the ice bridge reaches the proper 3mm thickness.
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Replaces 2008029 and 20-0802-9, ensuring a perfect fit for S0300 through S1800 models and various SY/SD series.
- Enhanced Conductivity: High-grade sensor tip provides reliable electrical feedback to the control board, even in 208-230V applications.
- System Protection: Prevents ice machine freeze-ups and reduces strain on the evaporator by maintaining strict timing protocols.
- What causes an E19 error on Manitowoc machines? This code usually points to a fouled Manitowoc 2008029 probe. Scale buildup on the sensor surface disrupts the electrical continuity required to sense the ice bridge.
- How do I adjust the ice thickness settings? Use the adjustment screw located on the probe housing. Turning the screw clockwise moves the probe away from the evaporator for thicker ice, while counter-clockwise moves it closer for thinner ice.
- Can I clean the probe instead of replacing it? While nickel-safe scale remover can often restore functionality, physical pitting or cracked insulation on the lead usually necessitates a full replacement of the ice thickness sensor.
