B. Service Diagnosis

WARNING
• The appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualied service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re.
• Risk of electric shock. Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical practices.
• Moving parts (e.g., fan blade) can crush and cut. Keep hands clear.
CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the appliance is serviced. Make sure that none have fallen into the storage bin.
• Make sure all food zones in the appliance are clean after service. For cleaning procedures, see the instruction manual or the maintenance label.
1. Ice Production Check
To check ice production, remove the front, top, and left side panels. Place a container under the spout and dispense all ice from the icemaker. Note: The ice dispense switch times out after 20 sec. Re-engage every 20 sec. until bin is empty. Move the control switch and power switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the bin top cover. Pour warm water over the remaining ice. After the ice is removed/melted, place the bin top cover in its original position. Do not secure at this time. Remove the control box cover, then move the control switch to the "ICE" position and the power switch to the "ON" position. Once the gear motor starts, press the "SERVICE" button on the control board (located in the control box). WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Care should be taken not to
touch live terminals. Lift the bin top cover and monitor the evaporator extruding head. WARNING! Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing clear of the agitator rotating inside of the storage bin. Once ice begins to ll the bin, start a 10 min. timer. After
10min., move the power switch to the "OFF" position. Place an empty container under the spout and dispense all ice from the icemaker. Note: The ice dispense switch times out after 20 sec. Re-engage every 20sec. until bin is empty. Move the power switch to the "OFF" position. Weigh the ice to establish the batch weight (minus the weight of the container). Multiply the batch weight by 144for the total production in 24 hr. Replace the control box cover and bin top cover in their original positions and secure. Replace all panels in their original positions and secure. Move the power switch to the "ON" position to start the automatic icemaking process.

2. Diagnostic Procedure
The diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation, adequate water pressure (10 to 113 PSIG), and proper voltage per unit nameplate.
Note: • When checking high voltage (115VAC), always choose a neutral (W) wire to
establish a good neutral connection.
• When checking low voltage (24VAC), always choose a neutral (LBU) wire.
• When checking control board DC voltage (5VDC), always place the red positive test lead from the multimeter to CB K5 pin closest to CB K4 connector. See "II.C. Control Board Check."
• To speed up the diagnostic process, the 5-min. ice purge cycle may be bypassed by pressing the "SERVICE" button on the control board after the gear motor starts. WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Care should be taken not to touch
live terminals.
1) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Remove the front, top, and left side panels. Remove the control box cover.
2) Reconnect the power cord into the electrical outlet, then move the power switch to the "ON" position.
3) Move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position. CB "POWER OK" LED and "FLUSH" (drain) LED turns on. Diagnosis "POWER OK" LED: Check that CB "POWER OK" LED is on. If not, check for 115VAC at control transformer brown (BR) wire to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, check the power switch, power cord connection, and breaker. If 115VAC is present, check control transformer continuity. Replace as needed. Next, check for 24VAC at control transformer red (R) wire to neutral (LBU). If 24VAC is not present, check control transformer continuity. Replace as needed. If 24VAC is present, check 24VAC 1A fuse. If fuse is good, check for 24VAC at CB K8 #1 (W/R) to CB K8 #2 (LBU). If 24VAC is present and "POWER OK" LED is off, replace CB. Diagnosis DV: If DV does not energize, check for 24VAC at CB K2 #10 (W/DBU) to neutral (LBU). If24VAC is not present, check control switch continuity. If open while in the "DRAIN" position, replace control switch. If closed, check for 0VDC at control board K9 #1 (W/BK) to K9 #2 (W/BK). If5VDC is present and control switch is closed, replace CB. If 24VAC is present, check for restricted DV and DV solenoid continuity. Clean or replace as needed.
3) After all of the water has drained, move control switch to the "ICE" position.
11
Page 12
4) Fill Cycle – "WTRIN" LED is on. WV energizes. The 90-sec. low water safety timer begins. LFS closes. Nothing occurs at this time. The reservoir continues to ll until UFS closes, terminating the 90-sec. low water safety timer, starting the 30-min. freeze timer, and de-energizing WV. Diagnosis: Check that "WTRIN" LED turns on and water lls the reservoir. If not, check for water supply line shut-off valve closed, restricted water lters, and restricted WV screen. Next, check for 24VAC at CB K2 #8 (W/BR) to neutral(LBU). If 24VAC is not present, replace CB. If 24VAC is present, turn off the power switch, disconnect the WV wires and check WV solenoid continuity. If open, replace WV. Reconnect WV wires, move the power switch to the "ON" position, then check that DV is not leaking by. Check that WV shuts off when UFS closes. Note: Low Water Safety– If UFS remains open 90 sec. after WV energizes, a 1-beep
alarm sounds. This alarm resets automatically once UFS closes.
5) Ice Purge Cycle – "GM" LED is on. 5-sec. GM delay timer and 30-min. freeze timer start. WV de-energizes and "WTRIN" LED turns off. Once the 5-sec. GM delay timer terminates, GM and CDR energize. CDR cannot energize unless GM circuit is complete (fuse, internal protector, and windings). Once CDR energizes, CB K9 #5 W/O and CB K9 #6 W/O 5VDC circuit closes and 5-min. ice purge timer starts. See "II.C.3)c. Compressor Delay Relay (5-min. Ice Purge Timer Circuit)." If CDR de-energizes, CB K9#5 W/O and CB K9 #6 W/O circuit opens and an 8-beep alarm occurs. See "III.B. LED Lights and Alarm Safeties." Note: To bypass ice purge cycle and go straight to freeze cycle, press "SERVICE" button on CB during 5-sec. GM delay time. Diagnosis CB: Check that UFS closed, WV LED turned off and WVde-energized. IfUFS is closed, "WV" LED is off, and "GM" LED is off, replace CB. If "GM" LED is on and GM is off, conrm 115VAC at CB K1 #2 (BR) to neutral(W). If115VAC is not present, check for loose connection from power switch. If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #3 (BK) to neutral (W). If115VAC is not present, replace CB. Diagnosis GM: If115VAC is present at CB K1 #2 (BR) to neutral(W), check GM fuse, GM capacitor, GM windings, and GM coupling between auger and GM. Diagnosis CDR: See "II.C.3)c. Compressor Delay Relay (5-min. Ice Purge Timer Circuit)." Once 5-min. ice purge timer terminates, freeze cycle begins.
6) Freeze Cycle – "COMP" LED is on. 5-min. ice purge timer terminates or "SERVICE" button pressed. "COMP" LED turns on. "GM" LED remains on. Comp and FM energize. GM and CDR continue. Ice production begins 4 to 6 minutes after Comp energizes depending on ambient and water conditions. Diagnosis Comp: Check that "COMP" LED is on and that Comp energizes. If "COMP" LED is off, conrm 5-min. ice purge timer has terminated. Check for 0VDC across CB K9 #3 (W/O) and CB K9 #5 (W/O). If 5VDC is present, CDR contacts are open. Check for 115VAC at CDR #7 (O) to CDR #8 (W). If115VAC is present, check CDR continuity between CDR #3 (W/O) and CDR #5 (W/O). If open, replace CDR. If closed and"COMP" LED remains off, replace CB. If"COMP" LED is on and Comp is off, check for 115VAC at each CB X1 brown (BR) wire to neutral(W). If 115VAC is present on one and not the other, replace CB. If115VAC is present on both, check Comp windings, start relay, and capacitors. Note: If CDR de-energizes, CB K9 #5 W/O and CB K9 #6 W/O circuit opens, Comp de-energizes and an 8-beep alarm occurs. See "III.B. LED Lights and Alarm Safeties." Diagnosis FM: If FM does not energize, check FM capacitor, windings, and bearings.
12
Page 13
7) Rell Cycle/Low Water Safety – As ice is produced, the water level in the reservoir drops. UFS opens. Nothing occurs at this time. When LFS opens, WV energizes, 90-sec. low water safety timer (ll timer) starts. Comp, GM, CDR, and FM continue. When UFS closes, WV de-energizes, 90-sec. low water safety timer (ll timer) terminates and 30-min. freeze timer resets. If UFS remains open 90 sec. after WV energizes (ll timer exceeded), a 90-sec. shutdown cycle starts. Comp and FM de-energize and CB signals a 1-beep alarm every 5 sec. 90-sec. ice purge timer starts. GM and CDR continue to clear ice from the evaporator. 90-sec. purge timer terminates, GM and CDR de-energize. WV and 1-beep alarm continue until UFS closes. Diagnosis– Check that "WTRIN" LED is on. If not, check LFS. See "II.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." If LFS is open and "WTRIN" LED is off, replace CB. If "WTRIN" LED is on, check that the reservoir lls. If not, check the water supply line, restricted water lters, WV solenoid, restricted WV screen. If WV is energized and rell exceeds 90-sec. low water safety timer (ll timer), check DV leaking by or open UFS. See "II.E.Float Switch Check and Cleaning." Note: Each time UFS closes, 30-min. freeze timer starts. The 30-min. freeze timer resets
when UFS closes again. If UFS does not close again within 30 min., CB shuts down the unit and sounds a 5-beep alarm every 5 sec. See "II.B. LED Lights and Alarm Safeties."
10) Shutdown – Bin lls with ice activating BC microswitch. Within 10 sec. control board shutsdown unit. Diagnosis: Check that BC large balance plate is activated and not sticking. Check BC microswitch continuity. When BC large balance plate is down (icemaking), BC microswitch is closed. When BC large balance plate is up BC microswitch is open. If not, replace BC microswitch. If BC microswitch is open and Comp, FM, and GM do not de-energize, replace CB. See "II.C. Control Board Check Procedure."

C. Control Board Check

Before replacing a CB that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Before proceeding, check for proper voltage per appliance nameplate. Check that the 24VAC 1A fuse and 115VAC 3A GM breaker are good.
• Check the S1 dip switch settings to assure that they are in the factory default position. For factory default settings, see "III.C.1. Default Dip Switch Settings." S1 dip switch 7determines bin control application. WARNING! Do not adjust S1 dip switch 7 out
of the factory default position. This dip switch must be left in the factory default position or the appliance will not operate correctly.
• When checking for 115VAC high-voltage (primary), always choose a 115VAC neutral(W) to establish a good neutral connection.
• When checking for 24VAC low-voltage (secondary), always choose a 24VAC neutral(LBU) to establish a good neutral connection. If the appliance is in alarm, see "III.B. LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties."
• When checking for 5VDC, use CBred K4 connector pin closest to CB black K3connector for DC ground (GND).

1) Startup-"POWER OK" LED on: Move control switch to "ICE" position, then move power switch to "ON" position. "POWER OK" LED turns on. "POWER" LED remains on unless power supply is interrupted. NOTICE!Appliance will not start unless the safety switch is engaged. Diagnosis: Checkthat "POWER OK" LED is on. If not, check for proper 115VAC supply voltage to CT (main breaker or fuse and power switch). Next, check for proper 24VAC output from CT. Next, check that 1A fuse is good. Check for 24VAC from CB K8connector pin #1 (W/R) to CB K8 connector pin #2(LBU). If24VAC is present and "POWER OK" LED is off, replace CB.
2) 5VDC Output Checks: There are seven 5VDC circuits on the appliance.
a) 3 circuits at CB K9 connector: Control switch "DRAIN" position, high-pressure switch
(HPS), and compressor delay relay (CDR).
b) 2 circuits at CB K8 connector: Bincontrol (BC) and oat switch (FS upper and
lower).
c) 2 circuits at CB K7 connector: Ice dispense (push button, and OS sensor), and water

D. Bin Control Check

When BC (microswitch) is not engaged, BC circuit (CB K8 #3 (GY) and CB K8 #4 (GY)) is closed and the appliance produces ice. S1 dip switch 7 must be in the "OFF" position and S1 dip switch 8 must be in the "ON" position. When ice lls the bin and engages BC large balance plate, BC opens and CB shutsdown the appliance within 10 seconds. NOTICE! Do not place S1 dip switch 7 in
the "ON" position or S1 dip switch 8 in the "OFF" position. For details, see "III.C.1. Default Dip Switch Settings."
1) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position.
2) Remove the front, top, and left side panels.
3) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
4) Remove the thumbscrews securing the storage bin cover. WARNING! Keep hands,
hair, and loose clothing clear of the agitator rotating inside of the storage bin.
5) Disconnect BC connector from the back of the control box.
6) Check for continuity across BC microswitch. If BC large balance plate is not engaged and BC microswitch is open, replace BC microswitch.
7) Press and hold BC large balance plate. While BC large balance plate is engaged, check for continuity across BC microswitch. If BC large balance plate is engaged and BC microswitch is open, replace BC microswitch.
8) Disengage BC large balance plate.
9) Reconnect BC connector. Remove the control box cover.
10) Move the move the control switch to the "ICE" position, then move the power switch to the "ON" position.
11) Make sure the "GM" LED is on. There is a delay of at least 5 seconds before the "GM" LED turns on after power-up. After the "GM" LED turns on, press the "SERVICE" button on CB to bypass the 5-min. ice purge timer. WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Care should be taken not to touch live terminals. "COMP" LED turns on.
12) When Comp starts, press and hold BC large balance plate.
13) Comp and GM should de-energize within 10seconds. Diagnosis: If not, and BC microswitch is found open and the appliance continues to run, replace CB.
14) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position. Leave the control switch in the "ICE" position.
15) Replace the storage bin cover and secure.
16) Replace the control box cover, left side, top, and front panels in their correct positions.
17) Move the power switch to the "ON" position to start the automatic icemaking process.

E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning

1. Float Switch Check
1) Remove the front, top, and left side panels, then move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position.
2) After the water has drained from the reservoir, remove the FS molex plug from the control box and check continuity across FS wires. Common (BK) to UFS (R) and common (BK) to LFS (BU). See Fig. 7. With the reservoir empty, oat switches are open. If open, continue to step 3. If closed, follow the steps in "II.E.2. Float Switch Cleaning." After cleaning, check them again. Replace if necessary.
3) Replace the FS molex plug on the control box.
4) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
5) The reservoir lls. Once UFS closes GM starts.
6) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
7) Remove the FS molex plug from the control box and check continuity across FS wires. Common (BK) to UFS (R) and common (BK) to LFS (BU). With the reservoir full, oat switches are closed. If open, follow the steps in "II.E.2. Float Switch Cleaning." After cleaning, check them again. Replace if necessary.
8) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
9) Replace the left side, top, and front panels in their correct positions.
2. Float Switch Cleaning
Depending on water conditions, scale may build up on FS. Scale on the switch can cause the oats to stick. In this case, FS should be cleaned and checked.
1) Remove the front, top, and left side panels, then move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position.
2) After the water has drained from the reservoir, move the control switch to the "OFF" position and the power switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Remove FS assembly from the reservoir cover. See Fig. 8.
4) Wipe down FS assembly with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki Scale Away and 25 parts warm water. Rinse the FS assembly thoroughly with clean water.
5) While not necessary, the oats can be removed from the shaft during cleaning. If you remove them, note that the blue oat is on top. The oats must be installed with the magnets inside them towards the top of the switch. See Fig. 8. Installing the oats upside down will affect the timing of FS operation.
6) Rinse FS assembly thoroughly with clean water and replace in its correct position.
7) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
7) Replace the left side, top, and front panels in their correct positions.
8) Move the power switch to the "ON" position to start the automatic icemaking process.

D. Switches

The power switch and control switch are used to control the operation of this icemaker.
1. Power Switch
The power switch has 2 positions, "OFF" and "ON."
2. Control Switch
The control switch is a double-pole double-throw switch with 3 positions, "ICE," "OFF," and "DRAIN."
a) ICE
When the control switch is in the "ICE" position, the control switch closes a 5VDC circuit from control board K4 connector pin #3 (W/R) to control board K4 connector pin#4 (W/R). When the control board receives 5VDC on K4 connector pin #4 (W/R), the control starts the icemaking process.
b) OFF
When the control switch is in the "OFF" position, the 5VDC circuits used for ice and drain are open and the unit is off.
c) DRAIN
When the control switch is in the "DRAIN" position, the control switch closes a 5VDC circuit from control board K4 connector pin #1 (W/BK) to control board K4 connector pin #2 (W/BK). When the control board receives 5VDC on K4 connector pin #2 (W/BK), the control board directs 24VAC to the drain valve and the drain valve energizes.

IV. Removal and Replacement of Components

WARNING
• This icemaker should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualied service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re.
• Move the power switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply to the icemaker before servicing. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power from being turned back on inadvertently.
CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. Make sure that none have fallen into the storage bin.
• Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and storage bin are clean after the icemaker is serviced. For cleaning procedures, see "VI. Cleaning and Maintenance."
• When replacing evaporator assembly and water circuit components, make sure there are no water leaks after the repair is complete.

A. Service for Refrigerant Lines

WARNING
• Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by properly trained and EPA-certied service personnel.
• Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
• Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). Do not use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
NOTICE
• Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 minutes when replacing or servicing parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
• Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
• Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant ow.
• When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).
36
Page 37

1. Refrigerant Recovery

This icemaker is provided with refrigerant access valves. Using proper refrigerant practices, recover the refrigerant from the service valves and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.

2. Brazing

WARNING
• R-404A itself is not ammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176°F (80°C).
• R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open ames), R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrouoric acid and carbonyl uoride both of which are hazardous.
• Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.
• Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). Do not use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
1) Braze all ttings while purging with nitrogen gas owing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
NOTICE
• Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
• Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant ow.
• When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).
2) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). Do not use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.

3. Evacuation and Recharge (R-404A)

1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure to connect charging hoses to both high and low-side access valves.
IMPORTANT
The vacuum level and vacuum pump may be the same as those for current refrigerants. However, the rubber hose and gauge manifold to be used for evacuation and refrigerant charge should be exclusively for POE oils.
2) Turn on the vacuum pump. Open the gauge manifold valves. Never allow the oil in the vacuum pump to ow backwards.
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a 29.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends on pump capacity.
37
Page 38
4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the gauge manifold.
5) Disconnect the gauge manifold hose from the vacuum pump and attach it to a refrigerant service cylinder. Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose. See the rating label inside the icemaker for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard 700 (latest edition) be used.
6) A liquid charge is required for charging an R-404A system (to prevent fractionation). Place the service cylinder on the scales: if the service cylinder is not equipped with a dip tube, invert the service cylinder, then place it on the scales. Open the high-side valve on the gauge manifold.
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.
8) If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the low-side.
NOTICE! To prevent compressor damage, use a throttling valve or liquid dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through the low-side access valve with the icemaker running.
9) Close the high and low-side gauge manifold valves, then disconnect the gauge manifold hoses.
10) Cap the access valves to prevent a possible leak.
