GEAR AND PINION

When an ice machine problem comes and goes, it’s often a single part that can’t hold spec under load or vibration. Gear and Pinion (part 02-2072-00) is a service replacement used on Scotsman ice machines. This part is commonly ordered when troubleshooting points to a failed component in the related system. Replacing worn drive parts can restore smooth movement and reduce strain on motors. Drive wear can lead to slipping, binding, incomplete movement, or mechanical noise that changes during operation. A good diagnostic approach is to confirm the symptom, inspect the part and its mounting points, then verify any related wiring or hoses for secondary damage. Before ordering, match the part number 02-2072-00 and compare the replacement to the original. Disconnect power and follow standard service safety practices during installation. When possible, document the symptom and the repair so future service calls have a clear baseline. If the listing shows a brand/model selector, double-check compatibility in the part page before checkout. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and recheck after a short operating period. After reassembly, confirm panels are secure and nothing rubs or binds when the unit vibrates.
