Manitowoc Indigo Ice Bin Switch

Ensure your Manitowoc Indigo series ice machine never overfills and operates efficiently with a genuine Manitowoc Ice Bin Switch (Indigo Series). This critical component acts as the “eye” of your ice machine, detecting when the ice storage bin is full and signalling the machine to temporarily halt ice production.

Designed specifically for Manitowoc’s advanced Indigo and S Series ice machines, this bin switch (part number 7888) is a robust, magnetic sensor that interacts with the water curtain or damper door. When the ice reaches the desired level in the bin, it prevents the water curtain/damper from fully closing, causing the bin switch to send a signal to the control board, preventing further ice production until ice is removed or melts.

A properly functioning bin switch is vital for:

• Preventing Overflow: Automatically stops ice production when the bin is full, preventing messy and potentially damaging ice overflows.

• Energy Efficiency: Avoids unnecessary operation, saving energy and reducing wear on the machine’s components.

• Optimal Ice Quality: Helps maintain the quality of stored ice by preventing excessive compression or freezing.

• Machine Longevity: Protects the evaporator and other critical parts from stress and potential damage caused by an overflowing bin.

• Reliable Operation: Ensures seamless cycling between ice production and standby modes, crucial for consistent ice availability.

• Genuine OEM Part: Guarantees a precise fit and reliable performance, specifically engineered for your Manitowoc Indigo or S Series model.
