Description
The Manitowoc K00395 is a specialized bin thermostat kit designed exclusively for the high-capacity S-3300 series ice machines. Unlike standard ice machines that utilize a curtain switch or sonic bin probe, the massive output of the S-3300 requires this thermostat kit to accurately manage ice levels in large-scale industrial F-Series bins. The K00395 monitors the temperature at the top of the ice pile; once the ice reaches the thermostat bulb, the temperature drop signals the ice machine to shut down, preventing overfilling and mechanical jams. This kit is essential for maintaining the automated harvest cycle of your 3,000lb+ ice production system, ensuring reliable operation without the risk of ice backing up into the evaporator.
- Model Number: K00395 (Genuine Manitowoc OEM Accessory)
- Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Manitowoc S-3300 Ice Machine Head
- Function: Provides automatic shut-off when the storage bin reaches maximum capacity
- Application: Required for S-3300 installations on large F-Series industrial bins
- Kit Includes: Thermostat control, sensing bulb, mounting bracket, and wiring harness
- Durability: Built with moisture-resistant components for the high-humidity environment of an ice bin
- Reliability: Prevents “ice bridging” and compressor strain caused by bin overfill
Technician’s Note: When installing the K00395, the placement of the sensing bulb is critical. It must be mounted in the bracket provided, away from the direct path of falling ice to prevent physical damage, but close enough to the harvest zone to react quickly when the bin is full. Ensure all electrical connections are tight and the capillary tube is not kinked. If your S-3300 is not shutting off and ice is backing up into the machine head, the thermostat may need calibration or the sensing bulb may have shifted out of its designated mounting position.
