Manitowoc Ice 040002396 Harvest Float Switch

Product Description

The Manitowoc Ice 040002396 is an OEM replacement harvest float switch designed for commercial ice machines. The float switch monitors water levels during the harvest cycle, signaling the control system when water has drained to the correct level to initiate or complete ice release. This component is a direct OEM-style replacement, constructed of plastic, and is installed by refrigeration technicians and commercial appliance service professionals during routine ice machine maintenance or troubleshooting.

This harvest float switch is intended for use in commercial ice machine applications where proper harvest cycle water management is critical to machine output and ice quality.
