Manitowoc Ice 040001783 Ice Thickness Float Switch

Product Description

The Manitowoc Ice 040001783 is an ice thickness float switch designed for use in commercial ice machine applications. This switch monitors and regulates ice thickness during the freeze cycle by detecting the water level or ice bridge formation and signaling the machine to harvest. Constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wet refrigeration environments, it is a direct OEM-style replacement component. Refrigeration technicians and commercial kitchen equipment service pros install this part as part of routine ice machine maintenance or diagnostic repair when harvest timing or ice thickness control is compromised.

This float switch is intended for commercial ice machines where reliable freeze-cycle control is critical to consistent ice production. It is suited for installation in environments that demand durable, corrosion-resistant components given constant exposure to water and refrigerants. Service technicians working on commercial foodservice refrigeration equipment will find this a standard replacement for restoring proper ice thickness sensing and harvest cycle function.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet ice machine environments
• Controls ice thickness detection during the freeze cycle for consistent harvest timing
• Direct OEM-style replacement for Manitowoc Ice commercial ice machines
• Single-unit packaging for individual component replacement
• Compact form factor fits within tight ice machine cabinet clearances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ice thickness float switch for Manitowoc Ice commercial ice machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified refrigeration or commercial kitchen equipment technician. Disconnect all power to the ice machine and shut off the water supply before beginning any service work. Verify the replacement switch matches the existing wiring harness connector and mounting configuration before installation. Follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer service documentation during replacement.
