    Manitowoc SFA191 has been throwing an HPCO fault code and going to a 60 min cycle. I’ve checked the filter on the back, and the coils seem to be clean. I’ve tried disconnecting the power and went through menu, but cannot get the code to go away, and it hasn’t made ice in 2 weeks.

    That’s the dispenser model. What head in on the dispenser? Or at least whether it’s a cuber, flaker or nugget machine.

    Did you reset the high pressure cut out? And is the fan motor running at speed? Make sure to shine a light through the coils to check if they are clear. Not just look at the outside. Also, being it’s a dispenser unit, the head will be quite high off the floor. Make sure it’s not in a heating duct flow and that the temperature is below 90F.

    The only other thing is if someone overcharged the unit.

    I found the fan motor is bad. Turned the breaker back on after ohming out the contactor coil and waited for the compressor to kick on. The fan motor was barely moving at all. Thank you all for the help. GREATLY APPRECIATED!

      Anttam69, Thank you. I figured out that the fan motor was burned up
