Ice-o-matic ice machine will not harvest Ice wwhat

how to replace harvest assist motor

Without knowing the model there are two things that come to mind. First there is a temperature sensor mounted to the insulated suction line that if open will not allow the unit into harvest. This is the most common problem. Second there is a harvest assist motor that is essentially a motor with a clutch mechanism and a rod that extends through a hole in the center of the ice plate. That motor must turn clockwise during harvest (you may not see much movement for the first minute of harvest) and return to rearmost position to cancel harvest. These motors are the second most common problem.
