Code 8 on Ice Machine

[techjoeb]

It sounds like an issue with the ice thickness sensor. I would see if it is clean or consult a tech if it is beyond your abilities. I hope this helps.

techjoeb is right, the issue likely is with the ice thickness sensor.

On a Scotsman, Code 8 means there’s a short freeze cycle. This is caused by:

Improper water flow Water is splashing onto the ice thickness sensor due to scale buildup Misadjustment of ice thickness sensor A broken, bent, or dismounted ice thickness sensor

To clean the spillway surface, see the below directions. If you do not know how to remove the components mentioned below, stop and call a technician.

Run the machine trough a cleaning cycle and save a little of the cleaner to clean the thickness probe. be sure to rinse it afterward.
