MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance can increase the trouble free life of your icemaker. Many authorized service agencies offer
service contracts for your icemaker. Contact your local distributor for further information.
Monthly
1. Clean the condenser. Use a brush, vacuum cleaner or blow from inside with air or CO2 gas.
2. Inspect water feed reservoir at lease once a month until a definite pattern for cleaning and sanitizing has been
established.
This is the maximum period of time between cleaning and sanitizing the icemaker. In addition to recommended
monthly procedure, and if a more frequent cleaning and sanitizing pattern has not been established, unit must be
cleaned and sanitized.
Semi-Annually
Semi–Annually in addition to all previously established service procedures perform the following:
1. Check for water leaks in tube connections, water fittings and lower icemaker water seal.
2. Check drain tubes for clogs and aged tubes. Replace if tubes are stained or brittle.
3. Check for signs of condensation. Clean where necessary and replace insulation properly.
4. Check safety circuits for proper operation.
5. Check refrigeration system.
6. Check unit for abnormal noise. Tighten machine and cabinet screws, if necessary.
7. Check white upper bearings on auger assembly. If bearings are less than 1/16” thick, replace.
When water is introduced through the inlet fitting the float rises. The float pushes against a lever which in turn
forces the poppet assembly against the inlet fitting valve seat which seals the water off. Before the water inlet is
sealed the safety switch is operated. In the event of a water failure the float would drop down and operate the safety
switch to shut off the machine.
If water level control will not shut off and seal at level as indicated, be sure inlet pressure does not exceed
recommended factory operating range.
Under ordinary circumstances adjustment should not be necessary providing it was properly adjusted when unit
was installed or relocated. If, however, the control becomes inoperative, repair or replace. See Start–Up
Adjustment in the Installation Manual.
PURPOSE
1. To automatically maintain proper water level in the evaporator when unit is running and making ice.
2. A safety switch is operated in the event of an interruption in water supply. The switch shuts off the electricalpower to the icemaker and its refrigeration system. Switch will reset as soon as cause of water failure has been
corrected and proper water level in icemaker has again been reached.
3. The transparent bowl not only provides a visible check of water level, but also is a good guide to the internal
conditions which exist within the icemaker assembly itself. (See Cleaning Procedure.)
TO REPLACE WATER LEVEL CONTROL
Disconnect power to the unit before servicing. Follow all lock out/tag out procedures established by the user. Verify all
power is off to the unit before performing any work.

1. Shut off the water supply. Shut off the main power switch or unplug the ice dispenser from electrical outlet.
2. Remove the flexible tubing from bottom of water level control and drain water from water level control and evaporator.
3. Remove flexible tubing at bottom of water level bowl connected to the overflow.
4. Hold water inlet fitting with proper tool to prevent it from rotating when disconnecting the water inlet.
5. Remove wing nut holding water control to its mounting bracket. Control can be removed by lifting straight up.
TO REPLACE WATER LEVEL SAFETY SWITCH
Disconnect power to the unit before servicing. Follow all lock out/tag out procedures established by the user. Verify all
power is off to the unit before performing any work.
Failure to comply could result in serious injury, death or damage to the equipment.
1. Shut off main power switch or unplug the ice dispenser from electrical outlet.
2. Unplug molex connector connecting switch to electrical box.
3. Remove the 2 screws anchoring the water level safety switch to the bottom of the water level control mounting

A complete understanding of the icemaker and hermetic refrigeration system is necessary before any adjustments
are made. The refrigeration technician must use high and low side pressure readings, water and air temperatures,
plus general conditions of cleanliness to assess the refrigeration system status when making any adjustments.
All icemaker products are tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment where the ambient temperature
ranges from 65° to 90°F, depending on the season of the year.
Whenever a new icemaker product is initially installed and started–up, it is imperative that the start–up operation
make the following checks and/or readjustments for local conditions.
EXPANSION VALVE
You will find a thermostatic expansion valve on icemakers, which is used to control the amount of refrigerant flowing
through the evaporator. Improperly installed or defective expansion valves may cause low production, soft ice,
squeaking from evaporator and excessive load inside evaporator.
By using general refrigeration system troubleshooting along with the pressure charts you can easily determine
whether or not the expansion valve is working properly.
ADJUSTMENTAND TROUBLESHOOTING
When troubleshooting the expansion valve you must first be sure you have adequate water flowing into evaporator,
a clean condenser, unit is properly ventilated, and system is properly charged and free from any restrictions. Also
be sure compressor is operating properly.
Second, take reservoir water temperature and air temperature from condenser inlet and determine at what
pressure unit should be running. Machines are equipped with thermostatic valves, there is NO adjustment. If
correct pressure cannot be obtained, first be sure system has time to stabilize 10–15 minutes. Second, be sure
sensing bulb is located at 12:00 position on outlet side of evaporator about 3–4 inches away from evaporator and
be sure to insulate well and clamp tightly to tubing. If system pressures are still not adequate, take a second water
and air temperature reading and go over other parts of system for possible problems. If proper charge is
questionable evacuate and recharge to nameplate and leak check. If valve still malfunctions replace valve.
When replacing valve be sure to bleed refrigerant gas from low side port so as not to lose refrigerant oil. Use
general refrigerant system practices when replacing and recharging unit. After new valve is in place, go through
previous monitored adjustments and troubleshooting to be sure valve is functioning properly.
NOTE: Units with thermostatic expansion valve—valve is located on bottom refrigerant line. Sensing bulb is located on top refrigerant line. On water cooled units adjust condenser modulating
valve before troubleshooting expansion valve.
Very High discharge pressure is present in system. Quick disconnects on you gauges will minimize danger and loss of
refrigerant. Comply with federal regulations for reclaiming refrigerant.
The reason for using a water modulating valve is to supply the correct amount of water to the condenser. and to
maintain a proper operating pressure to refrigeration system high side.
The flow of water through the valve is increased as the high side pressure rises and is decreased as high side
pressure lowers.
To calibrate the amount of water flow with the refrigeration system high side pressure, turn adjustment screw
located on end of valve opposite of bellows. Turn screw counterclockwise to raise opening point or clockwise to
lower opening point. Opening point of valve should be set to maintain proper operating pressure in refrigeration
system high side. Refer to Pressure Chart on. Closing point of valve should be set low enough to close valve during
compressor stand–by periods.
NOTE: Cold water will absorb heat faster than warm water. The water flow will therefore automatically increase as inlet temperature increases.
Disconnect power to the unit before servicing. Follow all lock out/tag out procedures established by the user. Verify all
power is off to the unit before performing any work.
Failure to comply could result in serious injury, death or damage to the equipment.
1. Shut off water supply to condenser and evacuate refrigerant from system.
2. Remove inlet water line from Condenser Modulating Valve. Also remove tube from high side refrigerant line.
3. Remove Condenser Modulating Valve and bracket from unit.
4. Remove valve from bracket.
5. Replace Condenser Modulating Valve by reversing Steps 2 through 4. Then pull system into vacuum.
6. Charge unit with proper amount of refrigeration.
7. Turn power and water on to unit.
8. With unit running, adjust modulating valve to proper setting.

Figure 16. Shaft Seal 500
AUGER ENGAGEMENT
1. Install the extruder head on top of the evaporator, as shown in Figure 17.
2. When the auger is lowered into the evaporator, rotate the auger to engage the motor drive shaft, see Figure 18.
Figure 18.
3. Carefully rotate the extruder head until the tabs on the extruder head drop into the slots on the evaporator
plate, as shown in Figure 19. When the auger/extruder head assembly is rotated to the proper position, it will
drop about 1/4 inch to more fully engage the motor drive shaft.
NOTE: Not all the tabs are the same width. Therefore, you must rotate the auger until all the tabs
are properly aligned with the evaporator slots. This may require almost a complete rotation
of the extruder head to complete.
Keep hands out of the way when rotating the extruder head. When the auger is aligned, it drops down quickly and a
finger may be pinched due to the weight of the auger/extruder head assembly.
Failure to lock the extruder head tabs into the evaporator slots causes the auger to be out of proper alignment with
the evaporator. This may cause excessive loads on the auger that can potentially result in excessive noise and
tripping the drive motor overload.
