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 ice 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 correct positions and secure. Replace all
panels in their correct 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 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.

10

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 (O) 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 CCR energize. CCR cannot energize unless GM circuit is complete
(GM external protector and GM internal protector). Once CCR energizes, CB K9
#5W/O and CB K9 #6 W/O 5VDC circuit closes and ice purge timer starts (1-min.
"F-A" CB E-0 (H) and later and "F-C" CB dip switch 8 off or 5-min. "F-A" CB E-0 (G)
and earlier dip switch 8 on). See "II.C.3)c. Compressor Control Relay (Ice Purge Timer
Circuit)." If CCR 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 the "SERVICE" button on CB during
the 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 #3 (BK) to neutral(W), check GM fuse,
GM capacitor, GM windings, and GM coupling between auger and GM.
Diagnosis CCR: See "II.C.3)c. Compressor Control Relay (Ice Purge Timer Circuit)."
Once ice purge timer terminates (1-min. "F-A" CB E-0 (H) and later and "F-C" CB dip
switch 8 off or 5-min. "F-A" CB E-0 (G) and earlier dip switch 8 on) or the "SERVICE"
button is pressed, freeze cycle begins.

11

6) Freeze Cycle – "COMP" LED is on. ice purge timer terminates (1-min. "F-A" CB
E-0 (H) and later and "F-C" CB dip switch 8 off or 5-min. "F-A" CB E-0 (G) and earlier
dip switch 8 on) or the "SERVICE" button is pressed. "COMP" LED turns on. "GM" LED
remains on. Comp and FM energize. GM and CCR 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 ice purge timer has terminated (1-min. "F-A" CB E-0 (H) and later
and "F-C" CB dip switch 8 off or 5-min. "F-A" CB E-0 (G) and earlier a dip switch 8 on).
Check for 0VDC across CB K9 #3 (W/O) and CB K9 #5 (W/O). If5VDC is present,
CCR contacts are open. Check for 115VAC at CCR #7 (R) to CCR #8 (W). If115VAC
is present, check CCR continuity between CCR #3 (W/O) and CCR #5 (W/O). If open,
replace CCR. If closed and"COMP" LED remains off, replace CB. If"COMP" LED is
on and Comp is off, check for 115VAC at CB X1 brown (BR) wire to neutral(W) and CB
X1red (R) wire to neutral (W). If115VAC is present on CB X1 brown (BR) wire and not
on CB X1 red (R) wire, replace CB. If115VAC is present on CB X1 red (R) wire, check
Comp external protector, motor windings, start relay, and capacitors.
Note: If CCR 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, motor windings, and
bearings.

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, CCR, 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 CCR continue to clear ice from the evaporator. 90-sec. ice purge timer
terminates, GM and CCR 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 icemaker and sounds a 5-beep alarm every 5 sec. See "II.B. LED
Lights and Alarm Safeties."

10) Shutdown
a) "F-A" E-0 (H) and Earlier Dip Switch 8"ON" CB Shutdown – Bin lls with ice

activating BC micro-switch. Within 6 to 10 sec. CB shutsdown appliance.

b) "F-A" E-0 (H) and Later Dip Switch 8 "OFF" Shutdown – Bin lls with ice

activating BC micro-switch. CB starts 90-sec. Comp shutdown timer. Once
90-sec. Comp shutdown timer terminates, Comp and FM de-energize and 60-sec.
GM shutdown timer starts. Once 60-sec. GM shutdown timer terminates, GM
de-energizes and icemaker is off.

c) "F-C" Dip Switch 8 and 9"OFF" CB – Bin lls with ice activating BC micro-switch.

CB starts 90-sec. Comp shutdown timer. Once 90-sec. Comp shutdown timer
terminates, Comp and FM de-energize and 60-sec. GM shutdown timer starts. Once
60-sec. GM shutdown timer terminates, GM de-energizes and icemaker is off.

Shutdown Diagnosis: Check that BC large balance plate is activated and not

sticking. Check BC micro-switch continuity. When BC large balance plate is down
(icemaking), BC micro-switch is closed. When BC large balance plate is up BC
micro-switch is open. If not, replace BC micro-switch. If BC micro-switch is open and
Comp, FM, and GM do not de-energize, replace CB. See "II.C. Control Board Check
Procedure."

unless power supply is interrupted. 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 control relay (CCR).

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

dispense (push button and OS sensor).

2a) 5VDC CB K9 Connector Continued:

a) Control Switch"DRAIN" Position

CB K9 connector pins #1 (W/BK) and #2 (W/BK):

• "ICE" Position: When the control switch is in the "ICE" position, CB K9 connector
pin#1and pin #2are open. 5VDC is present between CB K9 connector
pin #1(W/BK) and pin #2 (W/BK). If not, check control switch position and
continuity (open). Replace as needed. Next, conrm 5VDC between pin
#1 (W/BK) and CBred K4 connector, pin closest to CBblack K3connector. If 5VDC
is not present, replace CB.

• "DRAIN" Position: When control switch is in the "DRAIN" position, CB K9 connector
pin #1 (W/BK) and pin#2(W/BK) are closed. 0VDC is present between pin
#1(W/BK) and pin#2 (W/BK). If not, check control switch position and continuity.
Next, conrm 5VDC is present between both CB K9 connector pin #1(W/BK) and
pin #2 to CBred K4connector, pin closest to CB black K3 connector. If5VDC is not
present on both pins, replace CB.

b) High-Pressure Switch (HPS)

CB K9 connector pins #3 (Y) and #4 (Y): When HPS is closed, 5VDC is present
between both CB K9 connector pins #3(Y) and pin #4 (Y) to CB red K4 connector
pin closest to CB black K3 connector. If5VDC is not present on pin #3 (Y) or pin
#4(Y), replace CB. If 5VDC is present on CBK9connector pin #3 (Y) and not on CB
K9connector pin #4 (Y), HPS is most likely open. CB sounds a 3-beep alarm. Check
HPS continuity. If HPS is open and CB is not in alarm, replace CB.

c) Compressor Control Relay (CCR)

CB K9 connector pins #5 (W/O) and #6(W/O): When CCR is de-energized (GM off),
CCRterminals #3 and #5 are open and 5VDC is present between CBK9connector
pin #5 (W/O) and CBK9connector pin #6(W/O). If5VDC is not present, check CCR
continuity between terminals #3 and #5. If open, replaceCB. When CCR is energized,
CCR terminals #3 and #5close and 0VDC is present between CB K9 connector pin
#5 (W/O) and pin #6(W/O). 5VDC is present between CB K9 connector pin #5 (W/O)
to CB red K4 connector pin closest to CB black K3connector and CB K9 connector
pin #6 (W/O) to CB red K4 connector pin closest to CB black K3connector. If GM is
energized and CCR terminals #3& #5 are open, an 8-beep alarm occurs. See "III.B.
LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties." If CCR terminals #3 and #5 are closed and
0VDC is present between CB K9 connector pin #5 (W/O) and pin #6(W/O), Comp
delay timer starts. IfComp does not energize after Comp delay timer terminates
(1-min. "F-A" CB E-0 (H) and later and "F-C" CB dip switch 8 off or 5-min. "F-A" CB
E-0(G) and earlier dip switch 8 on), replace CB.
