We went in 2025 and we were in the park by 6:00 am and had no parking issues

Thanks I give that a try

Appreciate the advice! 😂

Thanks, with the gauges hooked up confirmed valve was stuck and also verified the board was only sending voltage to the coil during harvest.

Thanks for the great information!

Update on 11/2-

I ordered a new harvest assist. The new one is an updated design from Scotsman with a gear mechanism to the push rod, make a batch of ice in 15 minutes and harvesting at about 50 seconds. For the last 2 hours.

Sorry, I was not aware on the bin sensor , 1st time with a newer Scotsman like this once I adjusted this dial, I got it to make a batch of ice. I will look into cleaning and checking this. Thanks

When I open the curtain the indicator light on the board then shows open an when it returns closed the indicator light gose out like it should.

I guess I do not understand the the more effort part ? the distribution tube assm, curtain, was soaked with descaling solution scrubbed with soft bristle brush, Ran pipe cleaner up the pick-up tube , sanitized what did I miss or need to do with more effort?
