result in death, serious injury, or damage to the appliance or damage to property.

WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which could result in death or

serious injury.

NOTICE Indicates a situation which could result in damage to the

appliance or property.

IMPORTANT Indicates important information about the use and care of the

appliance.

WARNING

The appliance should be destined only to the use for which it has been expressly
conceived. Any other use should be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for injury or damage resulting from
improper, incorrect, and unreasonable use. Failure to service and maintain the
appliance in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety, performance,

methods. Use for any other purposes (for example, storage of chemicals or medical
supplies such as vaccine and serum) could cause deterioration of stored items.

• Do not block air inlets or outlets, otherwise cooling performance may be reduced.

• Do not tightly pack the cabinet. Allow some space between items to ensure good air
ow. Also allow space between items and interior surfaces.

• Do not put warm or hot foods in the cabinet. Let them cool rst, or they will raise the
cabinet temperature and could deteriorate other foods in the cabinet or overload the
appliance.

• All foods should be wrapped in plastic lm or stored in sealed containers. Otherwise
foods may dry up, pass their smells onto other foods, cause frost to develop, result
in poor appliance performance, or increase the likelihood of cross-contamination.
Certain dressings and food ingredients, if not stored in sealed containers, may
accelerate corrosion of the evaporator, resulting in failure.

• Do not store items near the air outlet. They might freeze up and crack or break
causing a risk of injury or contamination of other food.

NOTICE

• Protect the oor when moving the appliance to prevent damage to the oor.

7) Startup/Cool Down–There is a slight delay, cabinet temperature appears on display.
Comp, ConFM, EvapFM, and MH energize.

a) EvapFMDiagnosis: Conrm EvapFM energizes. If not, conrm doors are closed

and DS engaged. Next, check for 115VAC at DSR #8 (LBU or GY) to #7(W).
If115VAC is not present, check DS continuity. If DS is engaged and contacts are
open, replace DS. If 15VAC is present, check for 115VAC at DSR #4(DBU) to
neutral (W). If115VAC is not present, check for 115VAC at DSR #6(BK or W/BU) to
neutral(W). If 115VAC is present at DSR #6 (BK or W/BU) to neutral (W) and not at
DSR#4(DBU) to neutral (W), replace DSR. If 115VAC is present at DSR #4 (DBU)
to neutral (W), check EvapFM blades for binding and EvapFM continuity.

b) Cabinet Light: FGY CL: Diagnosis: Open the door conrm CLS is in the ON position.

If not, move CLS to the ON position. CLS turns on. If CLS does not turn on, check
for 115VAC at both CLS (BK) wires to neutral(W). If 115VAC is present one 1
CLS(BK) wire and not the other, conrm power supply and continuity of CLS switch.
If power supply is ok, check CLS continuity. IfCLS is engaged and CLS switch is
open, replace CLS. If CLS is engaged, contacts are closed, and 115VAC is present
at CLS(BK) and CL is not energized, replace CL.
FS/HS CL: Diagnosis: Open the door (upper on HS) and conrm CL is energized.
If not, with the door open, check for 115VAC at DSR #5 (BK) to neutral(W) and DSR
#1 (V or Y) to neutral(W). If115VAC is not present at DSR #5 (BK), conrm power
supply and continuity of power switch. If 115VAC is present at DSR #5 (BK) and not
present at DSR #1 (V or Y), check DS continuity. IfDS is disengaged and contacts
are closed (DSR energized), replace DS. If DSR is de-energized and 115VAC is
present at DSR#5(BK) and not at DSR #1 (V or Y) to neutral (W), replace DSR.
If 115VAC is present at DSR #1 (V or Y) and CL is not energized, replace CL.

at DSR #6 (Y or W/BU) to neutral (W). If115VAC is present at DSR #6 (Y or W/BU)
to neutral (W) and not at DSR #4 (DBU) to neutral (W), replace DSR. If 115VAC
is present at DSR#4(DBU) to neutral (W), check EvapFM blades for binding and
EvapFM continuity.

14

e) Comp and ConFM Diagnosis: Conrm Comp and ConFM energize. If not, check

for 115VAC at CM C1 (R or V) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, check CTh
status. See "II.D.Thermistor Check." If CTh ohm reading is in proper range, replace
CM. If115VAC is present at CM C1 (R or V) to neutral (W), check for 115VAC at
CR #0 (GY or P) to CR #1 (W). If 115VAC is not present, check continuity of HPS.
Ifopen, allow time for HPS to reset. If HPS does not reset, see "e) HPS Activation"
below. If HPS is closed and 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC at CR #4 (BK)
and CR #6 (R) to neutral (W). If115VAC is present at CR #4 (BK) and not at CR
#6(R), replace CR. If115VAC is present at CR #6 (R) to neutral (W) and ConFM
is energized but Comp is not: On 1-section; Give time for internal protector to cool
and reset. Next, check run capacitor, start capacitor, start relay, and Comp motor
windings. If Comp does not start, replace Comp. On 2-section; Check for 115VAC
at Comp external protector to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, give time for
Comp external protector to cool and reset. If Comp external protector does not reset,
replace Comp external protector. If115VAC is present, check run capacitor, start
capacitor, start relay, and Comp motor windings. If ConFM is not energized, check
ConFM fan blades for binding and motor winding continuity.

If Comp and ConFM are energized and the cabinet does not cool down, check for a

restriction in the refrigeration circuit, correct TXV operation, and correct refrigerant
charge.

f) HPS Activation: Conrm ConFM is energized and fan blade turns freely. Conrm

condenser coil is not clogged or restricted. Conrm there are no restrictions in the
refrigeration circuit (TXV and drier). Let refrigeration circuit pressures equalize.
IfHPS does not reset and pressures are equalized, replace HPS. If pressures are
not equalized, reclaim refrigerant and diagnose refrigeration circuit restriction.

8) Cool Down Achieved–CTh cools to 3°F (1.7°C) below setpoint. EvapFM, MH, and
PH continue. Comp and ConFM de-energize. Diagnosis: Conrm Comp and ConFM
de-energize. If not, and Comp and ConFM were energized longer than 2 min., check
CTh status. See "II.D. Thermistor Check." If CTh ohm reading is in proper range and
Comp and ConFM continue longer than 2 min., check for 115VAC at CM C1 (R or V) to
neutral (W). If115VAC is present, replace CM. If 115VAC is not present and Comp and
ConFM continue, check CR#6(R) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present, replace CR.

C. Control Module Check

1. Control Module Display

Before replacing CM that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is
bad, conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your
diagnosis. Always choose a neutral (W) to establish a good neutral connection when
checking high voltages. Also, conrm there is a good power supply and neutral
connection to CM: 115VAC at CM L2 (BK) to CM N3 (W).

Alarm Reset: To silence the alarm, press and release the up button with power on.

Foralarm information, see "III.D. Alarm Safeties."

Startup/Cool Down

1) Check all wiring connections. Conrm the CTh and DTh are properly connected.

2) Move the power switch to the "ON" position.

3) Check for 115VAC at CM L2 (BK) to CM N3 neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, check
power supply, wire connections, and power switch.

4) Check that cabinet temperature is displayed. If not, replace CM.

5) Freezer: Check that EvapFM is energized. Make sure doors are closed and DS
engaged. Next, check for 115VAC at CM F5 (Y or W/BU) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not
present, replace CM.

6) Check that Comp and ConFM energize. If not, check CTh status. See "II.D.Thermistor
Check." If CTh ohm reading is in proper range, check for 115VAC at CM C1 (R or V) to
neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CM.

Defrost

7) Manual Defrost Check: Press the manual defrost button briey. If on, Comp and
EvapFM icons turn off. Defrosticon turns on and "dEF" is displayed.

8) Conrm Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM (freezer) de-energize. Check for 115VAC at CM
C1 (R or V) to neutral (W) for Comp and ConFM, then at CM F5 (Y or W/BU) (freezer)
to neutral (W) for EvapFM. If"dEF" is displayed and 115VAC is present, replace CM.

9) Freezer: Conrm DH energizes. Check for 115VAC at CM H4 (O) to neutral (W). If"dEF"
is displayed and 115VAC is not present, replace CM.

10) Check that the components restart after defrost termination.

Refrigerator: DTh reaches 40°F (4.4°C), Comp and ConFM (CM C1 (R or V)) energize.
If not, check DTh status. See "II.D.Thermistor Check." If DTh ohm reading is in proper
range, and Comp and ConFM do not energize, replace CM.

Freezer: DTh reaches 59°F (15°C). 3-min. later, Comp and ConFM (CM C1
(RorV)) and EvapFM (CM F5 (Y or W/BU)) energize. If not, check DTh status. See
"II.D.Thermistor Check." IfDTh ohm reading is in proper range, and Comp, ConFM,
or EvapFM do not energize, replaceCM. 12min. after Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM
energize, cabinet temperature appears on CM. If components fail to start, replace CM.

D. Thermistor Check

The cabinet thermistor is used for cabinet temperature control and the defrost thermistor
is used for defrost cycle initiation and termination. Thermistor resistance varies
depending on temperature. The control module monitors the thermistors to control
system operation. No adjustment is required.
In the event the cabinet thermistor reading is out of range (E1 alarm), the compressor
operates on a xed time basis of 5-min. on and 5-min. off.
In the event the refrigerator defrost thermistor reading is out of range (E2alarm), defrost
initiation occurs every 4-hr. of cumulative compressor run time and terminates on
20-min. minimum defrost timer.
In the event the freezer defrost thermistor reading is out of range (E2 alarm), defrost
initiation occurs every 4-hr. of cumulative compressor run time and terminates based on
cabinet thermistor temperature.

To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below.

1) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the appliance.

2) Remove the control box cover.

3) Disconnect and remove the thermistor in question.

4) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 to 3 min.

5) Check the resistance between the wires at the thermistor connector. Normal reading is
within 16.0 to 16.7 kΩ. If outside the normal reading, replace the thermistor.

6) Reconnect and replace the thermistor in its correct position. See "IV.B. Important Notes
for Component Replacement."

7) Plug the appliance back in. Move the power switch to the "ON" position.

B. Temperature

EHE

The temperature default scale is °F, but it can be changed to read °C. To change,
see "III.B.3. Changing the Temperature Display Scale (°F or °C)" below.

1. Default Settings

a) Temperature Setting: Refrigerator: 36°F (2°C).
Freezer: -4°F (-20°C).
b) Temperature Display Scale: °F.

2. Temperature Setpoint

The temperature setpoint is the value for the average cabinet temperature. The
temperature differential for the compressor to turn on and off is ±3°F (±1.7°C) of the
temperature setpoint. For example, for a refrigerator temperature setpoint of 36°F (2°C),
the compressor comes on at 39°F (3.7°C), and the compressor goes off at 33°F (0.3°C).
If necessary, adjust the temperature setpoint as follows:

1) Press and hold the upper or lower button briey, then release. The current temperature

setpoint ashes.

2) Press the upper or lower button until the desired value is displayed. After a few sec.,

the display returns to the current cabinet temperature and the temperature setpoint is
saved.

• For refrigerators, the temperature setpoint is adjustable between 34°F and 52°F
(1°Cand 11°C). Factory default is 36°F (2°C).

• For freezers, the temperature setpoint is adjustable between -15°F and +12°F
(-26°Cand -11°C). Factory default is -4°F (-20°C).

Note: Do not adjust the temperature setpoint outside of the factory-specied range.

Adjustment outside of this range may prevent the appliance from operating
correctly.

3. Changing the Temperature Display Scale (°F or °C)

To change the temperature display scale, follow the steps below.

E. Safety Devices

1. Compressor External or Internal Protector

If combined temperature/amperage value is above the limit specied by the compressor
manufacturer, the compressor external or internal protector operates independently to
turn off the compressor. The compressor external or internal protector de-energizes the
compressor until the temperature/amperage value returns to an acceptable level.

• If the condenser fan motor is operating and the compressor is off, it is most likely that
the compressor external or internal protector opened. If both the compressor and
condenser fan motor are off, it is most likely the appliance is off or the high-pressure
switch has opened. For further details, see "II.B. Service Diagnosis."

• On refrigerators and 1-section freezers, the compressor protector is an internal
protector. On 2-section freezers, the compressor protector is an external protector.

2. Short-Cycle Protection

There is a 2-min. minimum off-time and on-time for the compressor.

Note: Time may vary with compressor protector or high-pressure switch activation.

3. High-Pressure Switch

If pressure on the high-side of the appliance exceeds Hoshizaki specications, the
high-pressure switch activates and interrupts the compressor circuit, de-energizing the
compressor until the pressure returns to an acceptable level.

F. Mullion/Perimeter Heater

Freezers are equipped with perimeter and mullion heaters. The heaters are energized as
soon as the power switch is turned on.

27

IV. Replacement of Components

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.

• Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the appliance from the
electrical outlet before servicing.

• Make sure all food zones in the appliance are clean after the appliance is
serviced.

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-134a or R-404A as a
mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.

NOTICE

• Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 min. when replacing or servicing
parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-134a and R-404A appliances
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).

1. Refrigerant Recovery

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

28

2. Brazing

WARNING

• R-134a and R-404A themselves are not ammable at atmospheric pressure and
temperatures up to 176°F (80°C).

• R-134a and R-404A themselves are not explosive or poisonous. However,
when exposed to high temperatures (open ames), R-134a and 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 (140PSIG). Do not use R-134a or 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-134a or R-404A as a mixture
with pressurized air for leak testing.

3. Evacuation and Recharge

1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure the charging hoses are connected 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.

4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the gauge manifold.

29

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 nameplate 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 when charging an R-404A system (to prevent fractionation)
and optional when charging an R-134a system. 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 appliance running.

9) Close gauge manifold valves and disconnect the hoses.

10) Cap the access valves to prevent a possible leak.
