Expert Review
Daniel Foster Catering Equipment Maintenance Expert
Expert Review
If your ice maker has started stopping mid-cycle or flashing a water error light even when it's plumbed in, this little probe is often the culprit. It tells the machine when water is flowing, and when it fails, production grinds to a halt. It’s a straightforward swap for any engineer and can get you back up and running in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect power before attempting any repair.
- Ensure all connections are secure after fitting.
- Check for any leaks after re-connecting the water supply.
- Regularly descale your ice maker to prevent probe failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why has my ice maker stopped making ice?
A: A faulty water flow probe is a common reason, as it prevents the machine from detecting the water supply needed for a cycle.
Q: Is this part difficult to install?
A: For a qualified technician, this is typically a quick and straightforward replacement part to install.
Q: How do I know if this probe fits my machine?
A: This probe is compatible with Nisbets Essentials and Caterlite ice maker models CN861, DA257, and DC439. Please check your model number.
Did You Know?
- A failing water probe can cause the machine to stop production entirely, even with a working water supply.
- Limescale buildup from hard water is a primary cause of water flow probe failure.
- Replacing this small part yourself can be far more cost-effective than a full service call-out.
