Controls the release of water from the ice machine during the drain cycle by opening and closing the water discharge path. The Manitowoc 000014062 Ice Machine Water Dump Solenoid Valve 120V operates as an electrically controlled valve that responds to signals from the ice machine control system. It helps manage water removal during operation by regulating the flow from the water reservoir or sump area, supporting proper cycling within the ice production process.
Water Flow Control:
Receives electrical signals from the ice machine control board to open and close the water discharge path during programmed drain cycles. When the 120V solenoid coil is energized, the valve opens to release water from the reservoir or sump area. Once the drain cycle is complete, it closes to stop water flow, allowing the ice machine to continue through the next stage of the ice-making process. This controlled operation supports proper reservoir water management throughout normal equipment operation.
Solenoid Valve Operation:
Uses electrical actuation to control the opening and closing of the water dump valve within the ice machine. When the applicable control signal is supplied, the solenoid responds by changing the valve position and regulating the designated discharge path. The valve's operation connects the ice machine's electrical control system with its water-management function, allowing the discharge valve to respond according to the equipment's operating sequence.
Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the ice machine water dump solenoid valve if it is damaged, fails to open or close consistently, or no longer controls water discharge as intended. The part number 000014062 should be verified before replacement to ensure the correct valve is selected. Replace the component if deterioration affects water flow control, valve response, or normal ice machine operation.
Common Failure Symptoms:
- Water does not drain during the programmed dump cycle.
- Valve remains stuck open or closed during operation.
- Continuous or intermittent water leakage from the valve.
- Incomplete or inconsistent reservoir water discharge.
- Visible wear or damage affecting the valve body or solenoid coil.
Equipment Compatibility:
Designed for use with Manitowoc commercial ice machines, the 000014062 water dump solenoid valve is intended for equipment requiring a 120V electrically operated water discharge valve configuration. Confirm the equipment model number, existing component identification, and manufacturer’s parts documentation before selecting the replacement.
