• MPN: 2006549
• SKU: 2006549
• Part Type: Water Level Probe

Product Overview

Manitowoc OEM part 2006549 is a water level probe used in ice machine service. This electrical control component helps the equipment recognize water-level conditions so the connected control circuit can respond as intended during normal water-system operation. Reliable water-level feedback matters because ice-making equipment depends on coordinated operation among the probe, related wiring, water supply components, and connected controls rather than a single component working alone. When the probe, its electrical connection, or nearby water-system components require attention, the equipment may need qualified diagnosis before a replacement is selected. For service buyers, the key point is accurate identification. Match Manitowoc manufacturer part number 2006549 to the original component and confirm the equipment data plate and serial number before ordering. Comparing the removed part with the product image, reviewing its physical form, and checking the connection arrangement can help reduce wrong-part orders. A water-level concern can involve more than the probe itself, so related wiring, water connections, filters or strainers where installed, and control-side components should be considered during service evaluation. This OEM water level probe is identified for commercial ice machine service, where careful part-number matching and equipment verification support an accurate replacement decision.

Product Function

The Manitowoc 2006549 water level probe provides water-level feedback within the equipment's water-control arrangement. As an electrical control component, it works with the connected circuit to support water-level monitoring rather than serving as a water valve, filter, or mechanical water-supply connection. Its role is important to the equipment's coordinated water-system operation, but a probe alone should not be assumed to correct every fill, water-flow, or control concern. Related wiring, connections, water supply components, and control-side parts should be evaluated as part of a qualified service diagnosis.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

A genuine Manitowoc OEM replacement helps keep the order focused on the manufacturer part number specified for the original component. Ordering by OEM number 2006549, then comparing the removed probe and confirming the equipment identification, provides a practical way to reduce selection errors. This approach is especially useful when similar-looking water-system or electrical control parts may have different connection arrangements or equipment applications.

How This Part Works

Water-level sensing depends on communication between the probe and the equipment control circuit. The Manitowoc 2006549 probe is positioned as part of that water-level feedback path, allowing the connected controls to receive the information needed for their operating sequence. The exact equipment response depends on the ice machine configuration and related controls, so service personnel should avoid replacing the probe based on a symptom alone. When evaluating a suspected water-level concern, compare the original component's physical form and connection arrangement with the replacement part. Inspect the associated electrical connection for damage, looseness, or corrosion, and consider related water-system components that may affect the condition being diagnosed. Confirming the OEM number, equipment data plate, and serial number remains the most reliable ordering check when documented fitment is not available.

Technician Service Tip

Before replacement, compare the removed component with Manitowoc 2006549 and inspect the probe connection arrangement and nearby wiring condition. A qualified commercial equipment service professional should evaluate related water-system and control-circuit concerns rather than assuming the probe is the only cause of an operating issue.

Common Failure Symptoms

• An ice machine water-level concern may indicate that the probe and related control components should be inspected.
• Erratic equipment response during water-system operation can indicate a need to evaluate the probe connection and associated circuit.
• Visible damage to the probe body may indicate that replacement is necessary after equipment identification is confirmed.
• Corrosion or damage at the electrical connection can indicate a related service concern.
• A loose or damaged connected wire may indicate that the water-level feedback path requires inspection.
• Repeated water-fill concerns can indicate a need to evaluate the probe along with the water supply and control-side components.
• An ice machine that does not respond as expected to water-level conditions may indicate a control-circuit or water-system issue requiring diagnosis.
• A mismatch between the installed component and OEM number 2006549 may indicate that previous part selection should be reviewed.

Commercial Applications

This Manitowoc water level probe is identified for ice machine service. It is relevant to commercial equipment service work performed in restaurants, foodservice operations, institutional kitchens, and other facilities that rely on maintained ice-making equipment. Service companies and maintenance teams may use the OEM number to identify the replacement component while evaluating a water-level or control-circuit concern. Because documented equipment fitment is not provided here, buyers should confirm the equipment data plate, serial number, and original component before placing an order. Proper identification is particularly important where similar water-system components may appear alike but use different connection arrangements.

Before You Order

• Match Manitowoc OEM number 2006549 to the original component.
• Confirm the manufacturer is Manitowoc.
• Verify the equipment data plate and serial number before ordering.
• Compare the removed part with the product image.
• Confirm that the original component is a water level probe.
• Compare the physical form and mounting arrangement of the original component where applicable.
• Inspect and compare the electrical connection arrangement before purchase.
• Have a qualified commercial equipment service professional confirm selection when the equipment application is uncertain.

Related Components

• Water inlet valve: inspect the related water-control component when diagnosing fill or water-level concerns, since a probe does not regulate water flow by itself.
• Water supply tubing and connections: inspect connected water paths for condition or restriction concerns that may affect the symptom being evaluated.
• Control wiring and connectors: inspect the electrical path associated with the probe for loose, damaged, or corroded connections.
• Water filter or strainer, where installed: inspect for restriction or service condition when water-system operation is under evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Manitowoc part 2006549?
