HINGE BUSHING

When an ice machine problem comes and goes, it’s often a single part that can’t hold spec under load or vibration. Part 02-2380-01 (Hinge Bushing) is listed as a Scotsman ice machine replacement component. Techs usually replace this item during a repair when inspection shows wear, breakage, or a functional problem. Bearings support rotating parts and help maintain smooth, aligned movement under load. Wear can show up as grinding noise, wobble, binding, or inconsistent movement when the drive assembly turns. 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. Use part number 02-2380-01 as your reference, and verify the old component’s location and orientation before removal. After replacement, run the unit long enough to confirm the symptom is resolved. When possible, document the symptom and the repair so future service calls have a clear baseline.
