Q-DUAL WATER LEVEL PROBE (WLP)

Installation Instructions for Kit 76-0293-3

Ice machines which presently have the Q-Model Water Level Probe mounted on the front of the water
trough. This will relocate the water level probe to the back wall of the ice machine.

1. Place toggle switch in OFF position, move the switch back to

ICE for 40 seconds to remove the water from the sump
trough, and then turn the switch back to OFF.

2. Disconnect power to the ice machine at the main disconnect.

3. Remove the Q-model probe from the bracket on the front of

the sump trough and disconnect the blue wire from the
terminal labeled “WTR LEVEL” on the control board.

4. Disconnect and remove the water pump.

5. Mark WLP relocation point:
A. Use the template on the next page to mark the correct

position for the new WLP. **Prior to serial number,
020200000, the template is not needed - holes have
been drilled.**

B. Align water pump holes with template and then place

two marks on the back wall to the right of the water
pump.

6. A refrigerant line may be located directly behind the

previously marked location. Use a drill stop and drill two
holes at the marked locations. The top hole will be a 1/8”
hole; the bottom hole will be 1/2” in diameter.

Use a suitable means to capture, contain, and remove all
metal shavings produced during the drilling process.

WARNING

wiring.

9. Verify the WLP does not contact the water pump bracket.

Bend the water pump bracket forward, if additional
clearance is necessary.

10. Verify the RIGHT water curtain does not hang on the

WLP. Swing the curtain open completely and push it
slightly toward the WLP. If the curtain catches on the
WLP, the water curtain MUST be trimmed on the LEFT
side (opposite side of the magnet). DO NOT trim, if the
curtain swings freely.

11. Use a file, grinder, or snips, to remove just enough of the

water curtain to allow it to swing freely (see diagram
below). Repeat Step 8 until the curtain clears the WLP.

12. For further detail or questions about trimming the curtain,

call Manitowoc Service Department at 1-800-545-5720.

13. Verify no metal shavings exist in the food zone.

14. Reapply power and test run one complete cycle.
