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. Control switch in "OFF" position does not de-energize all
loads Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical practices.

• Moving parts (e.g., fan blade) can crush and cut. Keep hands clear.

• Before servicing the appliance, move the control switch to the "OFF" position and
turn off the power supply.

• 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 dispenser unit/ice storage bin.

• Make sure all food zones in the appliance and dispenser unit/ice storage bin are
clean after service.

The diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical
system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation, proper voltage
per nameplate, and adequate water supply. Check CB using the steps in "II.C. Control
Board Check." Check dip switch settings to assure that S4 dip switch 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 and
S5 dip switch 1 through 5 ("G" CB) are in the factory default position. S4 dip switch 1, 2,
5, 6 are cleaning adjustments and the settings are exible. For factory default settings,
see "III.C.1. Default Dip Switch Settings."

Note: • When checking high voltage (115VAC), always choose a white (W) neutral wire to

establish a good neutral connection.

• On 208-230/60/1 models with main transformer and 208-230/60/3 models, the
appliance neutral (W) is provided through the main transformer. To conrm
a good neutral, check for 60VAC from white (W) neutral to ground (GND).
If60VAC is present, neutral is good. If 60VAC is not present, check 208-230VAC
main power supply to main transformer. If 208-230VAC is present, check main
transformer continuity.

• When checking voltage from the CB K1 connector (10 pin connector), pull
CBK1connector out slightly to allow room for multimeter test leads contact.

1) Turn off the power supply, then access the control box. Move the control switch to the
"OFF" position. Clear any ice from BC.

2) Check that the 115VAC 10A fuse is good.

17

1. "E" and "G" Control Board without Harvest Pump Timer Diagnosis

3) Power On: Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
A 5-sec. delay occurs.

• "E" Control Board: CB red "POWER OK" LED turns on.

• "G" Control Board: CB red "POWER OK" LED and green "BC CLOSED" LEDturn on.

Note: • CB red "POWER" LED remains on unless the 10.5VAC power supply is

interrupted (K2 connector).

• Check CB using the steps in "II.C. Control Board Check."

• "G" CB with Thermostatic Bin Control: If yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on, check that
CB red K4 connector has jumper 4A4883G01 properly connected.

• "G" CB with Mechanical Bin Control: If yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on (indicating a
full bin), check MBC. See"II.D.2. Mechanical Bin Control Check and Cleaning."

a) Power On Diagnosis: If CB red "POWER OK" LED is off, conrm closed TBC and

10A fuse is good. If TBC is open, remove ice from bulb and warm bulb in hand.
IfTBC does not close, replace TBC. See "II.D.1. Thermostatic Bin Control Check."
Check for 115VAC at control switch #1(BR) to neutral (W) then at control switch
#2(P) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present on #1 (BR) and not on #2(P), replace
control switch. If 115VAC is present on control switch #2 (P), check for 115VAC at
HPS (P) to neutral (W) then HPS (BK) to neutral (W). If115VAC is present at HPS
(P) and not at HPS (BK), HPS is open. See HPS Diagnosis below. If 115VAC is
present at HPS (BK), check for 10.5VAC at CB K2#1 red wire to CB K2 #2 red wire.
If 10.5VAC is not present, check that the cleaning valve is closed and the interlock
switch is closed. Next, check CT continuity. Ifopen replace CT.

b) HPS Diagnosis: Check that the condenser coil is not clogged or restricted. 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. Check that there are no restrictions in the
refrigeration circuit.
Harvest Cycle: HGV, strainer, or check valve.
Freeze Cycle: FM, FMR, TXV, HM, LLV, strainer, check valve, drier, and damaged line
set or tting. Also conrm WRV opens in freeze cycle.

Conrm that the location meets installation requirements:

• The icemaker is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient temperature
should be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C).

• Allow 6" (15 cm) clearance at rear, sides, and top for proper air circulation and ease
of maintenance and/or service should they be required.

• The appliance should not be located in a corrosive environment.

4) 1-Minute Fill Cycle – LED 4 is on. WV energizes. After 1 min., CB checks for a closed
FS. If FS is closed, harvest cycle begins. If harvest cycle begins (Comp, HGV, and FMR
energize), continue to step 5. If FS is open, WV remains energized through additional
1-min. ll cycles until water enters the water tank and FS closes (low water safety
protection during initial start up and at the end of each harvest). Diagnosis: Check
that water enters the water tank. If not, check that the water supply line shut-off valve
is open and screens or external lters are clear. Check for 115VAC at CB K1 #6(O)
to neutral(W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present, and WV
does not energize, check for 115VAC at WV. If 115VAC is present, check coil continuity.
Ifopen, replace WV. If the water tank lls, but the appliance fails to start harvest (Comp
energized), check for open FS. See "II.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." If FS is
closed and CB fails to start the harvest cycle after 1 min., replace CB.

5) Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV continues. Comp, FMR, and
HGV energize. CB monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located
on the suction line. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the
thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2).
The harvest timer has settings of 60, 90, 120, and 180sec. Thepump-out timer (S4dip
switch 3 & 4) acts in place of the harvest timer during cycles with a pump-out (S4 dip
switch 5 & 6). WV remains energized during harvest for a maximum of 6min. or the
length of harvest, whichever is shorter.

a) Comp Diagnosis: Check that evaporator is warming. Ifnot, conrm that Comp

energizes. If not, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #1 or #9 (V) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is
not present, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #7 or #10 (BR) to neutral (W). If115VAC is
present at #7 or #10 (BR) and not at #1 or #9 (V), replace CB. If 115VAC is present,
check for 115VAC at CR or MC solenoid. If 115VAC is present, conrm contacts are
closed. If not, replace CR or MC. If CR or MC contacts are closed, check Comp
external overload, Comp start and run capacitors, Comp start relay, and Comp motor
winding.

b) HGV Diagnosis: If Comp is energized and evaporator is not warming, check that

HGV energizes and opens. Check for 115VAC at CB K1 #2 (P) to neutral (W).
If115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC at HGV
coil and check HGV coil continuity. Replace as needed.

c) LLV Diagnosis: Conrm that LLV is de-energized and closed (not bypassing).

Ifenergized, replace CB. If de-energized and bypassing, replace LLV.

d) WRV Diagnosis: Conrm WRV is not leaking by.

19

e) Initial Harvest Cycle Termination Diagnosis: When the thermistor reaches 48°F

(9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to
the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2). Check discharge line temperature. For a
thermistor check, see "II.F.Thermistor Check." If 1-min. ll cycle starts after harvest
timer terminates, check that FS is clean and operating properly, see "II.E. Float
Switch Check and Cleaning." If FS is closed, CB proceeds to the next cycle. Ifnot,
replace CB.

Note: The minimum total time allowed by CB for a complete harvest cycle is 2 min.

Maximum harvest time allowed is 20 min.

NOTICE! On models with "G" control board and no harvest pump timer relays,
S4dip switch 7 must remain off. Otherwise, PM energizes in reverse direction the
last 50 seconds of harvest and empties water from water tank.

6) Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on. Comp and FMR continue. PM, FM, and LLVenergize.
WV and HGV de-energize. Appliance is held in freeze by a 5-min. short cycle protection
timer. After 5-min. timer terminates and FSopens, freeze cycle terminates.

a) Freeze Cycle Diagnosis: Conrm Comp and FMR continue. Conrm that

PM, FM, and LLV energize. Conrm WRV opens. Next, conrm WV and HGV
de-energize. During the rst 5 min. of freeze, conrm evaporator is cooling. If not,
conrm WV de-energized (not leaking by), HGV de-energized (not bypassing),
LLV and FM energize, TXV and HM operate correctly, WRV opens, Comp is
efficient, and refrigerant charge is correct. See "VIII.A. Specication Sheet" and
"VIII.B.Performance Data."

b) Comp and FMR Diagnosis: If Comp and FMR de-energize once freeze begins,

check that appliance has not shut off on HPS ("POWER OK" LED off). If so, check
"3)b) HPS Diagnosis" above. If "POWER OK" LED is on, check for 115VAC at CB
K1#1 (V) or #9 (V) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present and LED 1 is on, replace
CB. If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC at CR or MC coil. If 115VAC is present,
check CR or MC coil and contact continuity. Replace as needed. If CR or MC is ok,
check Comp external overload, start relay, and start and run capacitors. Next, check
Comp motor winding continuity. If Comp is energized but evaporator is not cooling,
check for an inefficient Comp. See "VIII.B. Performance Data." If Comp is energized
but FMR is not, check for 115VAC at the FMR junction box. If 115VAC is not present,
check icemaker wiring connections. If 115VAC is present, check for voltage at
condenser unit. If115VAC is not present, check eld wiring connections. If 115VAC is
present, check FMR capacitor, motor winding, and fan blade for binding.

c) WV and HGV Diagnosis: If WV is energized, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #6 (O) to

neutral (W). If 115VAC is present after PM energizes, replace CB. If 115VAC is not
present, replace WV (bypassing). If HGV did not de-energize, check for 115VAC at
CB K1 #2 (P) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present after PM energizes, replace CB.
If115VAC is not present, replace HGV (bypassing).

20

d) PM Diagnosis: Conrm water is owing over evaporator from PM and not WV. If PM

de-energizes once freeze begins, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #4 (R) to neutral (W).
If 115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present and PM is de-energized,
check for 115VAC at control switch #5 (R) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present at CB
K1 #4 (R) and not at control switch #5 (R), check control switch continuity between
#5 (R) and #4 (R). Replace as needed. If 115VAC is present at control switch #5 (R)
to neutral (W), check PM capacitor and motor winding continuity.

e) FM and LLV Diagnosis: If FM or LLV does not energize, check for 115VAC at CB

K1#3 (BK) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present:
For FM, check capacitor, motor winding, and blade for binding.
For LLV, check coil voltage and continuity.

f) Refrigerant Pressures, HM, and TXV Diagnosis: If evaporator is still not cooling,

check refrigerant pressures. See "VIII.B. Performance Data."
Next, check HM operation. If refrigeration pressures are above HM setpoint and
HMis bypassing, replace HM. Check TXV for proper operation. Remove TXV bulb
and hold it in your hand, refrigerant low-side pressure should rise, place TXV bulb in
ice water, refrigerant low-side pressure should drop. A 10 to 15 pound pressure swing
between warm and cold conditions indicate a good TXV. If a 10 to 15pound swing is
not present, replace TXV.

g) WRV Diagnosis: WRV is factory set and generally no adjustment is required.

IfWRV fails to open in freeze, check for proper refrigerant pressures. See "VIII.B.
Performance Data." If refrigerant pressures are correct and WRV does not open,
adjust or replace as needed. See "IV.C. Water Regulating Valve Adjustment
(water-cooled models)."

h) Freeze Termination Diagnosis: After 5 min. in freeze, disconnect CB K5 FS

connector. 15 sec. later appliance should switch out of the freeze cycle (15 second
delay after FS opens before terminating the freeze cycle). If appliance remains in
freeze longer than 15 sec. after FS removed, replace CB. If appliance switches with
FS removed but would previously not switch out of freeze with FS connected (long
freeze - 3 beep alarm), see "II.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning."

Note: Normal freeze cycle will last 20 to 40 min. depending on model and conditions.

Cycle times and pressures should follow performance data provided in this
manual. See "VIII.B. Performance Data."

i) Short Freeze Cycle Diagnosis: Conrm water tank lls and overows during 1 min.

ll and harvest cycles. If not, check water supply lters, shut-off valve, WV screen.
Ifwater tank empties before 5 min. timer terminates and freeze cycle is short, check
that CV is not leaking by (water owing down the potable drain). If CV is leaking by,
remove and clean CV, replace rubber seat and spring if necessary. If water tank is
full, see "II.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning" for erratic operating FS.

21

7) Pump-Out Cycle – LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on (10/20 second pump-out). Timing of the
rst pump-out is dependent on CB. "E" CB rst pump-out is after the rst freeze cycle.
"G" CB rst pump-out is determined by S4 dip switch 5 & 6. See the table below.

"E" & "G" Control Board Settings 1st Pump-Out

S4 Dip Switch Setting

No. 5 No. 6

OFF OFF Every cycle After 1st freeze cycle After 2nd freeze cycle

ON OFF Every 2 cycles After 3rd freeze cycle

OFF ON Every 5 cycles After 6th freeze cycle

ON ON Every 10 cycles After 11th freeze cycle

Pump-Out

Frequency

"E" Control Board "G" Control Board

Comp and FMR continue, HGV energizes. If S4dip switch 3 & 4 are set to 3 off and 4
on, LED 4 turns on and WV energizes. FM and LLVde-energize. PM stops for 2 sec.,
then reverses for 10/20 sec. depending on pump-out timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) setting.
When the pump-out timer terminates, pump-out is complete. The pump-out frequency
control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6) is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required.
However, the pump-out frequency control can be set to have a pump-out occur every
cycle, or every 2, 5, or 10 cycles. For details, see "III.C.4. Pump-Out Frequency Control
(S4 dip switch 5 & 6)."

Pump-Out Diagnosis: In the freeze cycle before pump-out (see table above),
disconnect CB black K5 connector (FS connector) after 5 min. of freeze. Check that PM
stops and re-starts and water is owing down the drain through CV. If PM does not stop
and re-start, check that CB LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. If not, replace CB. IfLEDs1,3,
and 2 are on and PM does not energize, check for 115VAC at
CB K1 #5 (DBU) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB.
If 115VAC is present, make sure the drain line is not clogged and that CV is clean and
operating properly.

Conrm FM and LLV de-energize. If FM or LLV is energized with LEDs 1, 3, and 2 on,
replace CB.

8) Normal Harvest Cycle – Same as the initial harvest cycle. Return to step 5 above.
Note: Appliance continues to cycle until TBC or MBC is satised or power is turned off.

The appliance always restarts at the 1-min. ll cycle.

22

9) Shutdown

a) Thermostatic Bin Control (TBC):

When the appliance is running, hold ice in contact with the thermostatic bulb. TBC
switch opens within 10 sec., shutting down the appliance. TBC is factory set, and
generally no adjustment is required. However, adjustment may be needed in some
conditions, particularly at higher altitude locations.

NOTICE

• On "E" control boards, do not adjust S4 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.

• On "G" control boards, CB red K4 connector jumper (4A4883G01) must be in
place. Diagnosis: See "II.D.1. Thermostatic Bin Control Check."

b) Mechanical Bin Control:

See "II.D.2. Mechanical Bin Control Check and Cleaning."

2. "G" Control Board with Harvest Pump Timer Diagnosis

3) Power On: Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
A 5-sec. delay occurs. CB red "POWER OK" LED and green "BC CLOSED" LED turn
on. If yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on (indicating a full bin), check MBC. Move ice away
from MBC actuator paddle. If yellow "BC OPEN" LED stays on, see"II.D.2. Mechanical
Bin Control (MBC) Check."

Note: • CB red "POWER OK" LED remains on unless the 10.5VAC power supply is

interrupted (K2 connector).

• Check CB using the steps in "II.C. Control Board Check."

• Conrm CB green "BC CLOSED" LED is on. If CB yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on,
remove ice from BC. If no ice is around BC and yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on,
see "II.D.2. Mechanical Bin Control (MBC) Check."

a) Power On Diagnosis: If CB red "POWER OK" LED is off, conrm 10A fuse is good.

Check for 115VAC at control switch #1 (BR) to neutral (W) then at control switch
#2(P) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present on #1 (BR) and not on #2(P), replace
control switch. If 115VAC is present on control switch #2 (P), check for 115VAC at
HPS (P) to neutral (W) then HPS (BK) to neutral (W). If115VAC is present at HPS
(P) and not at HPS (BK), HPS is open. See HPS Diagnosis below. If 115VAC is
present at HPS (BK), check for 10.5VAC at CB K2#1 red wire to CB K2 #2 red wire.
If 10.5VAC is not present, check that the cleaning valve is closed and the interlock
switch is closed. Next, check CT continuity. If open, replace CT.

b) HPS Diagnosis: Check that the condenser coil is not clogged or restricted. 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. Check that there are no restrictions in the
refrigeration circuit.
Harvest Cycle: HGV, strainer, or check valve.
Freeze Cycle: FM, FMR, TXV, WRV, HM, LLV, strainer, check valve, drier, and
damaged line set or tting.

Conrm that the location meets installation requirements:

• The appliance is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient temperature
should be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C).

• Allow 6" (15 cm) clearance at rear, sides, and top for proper air circulation and ease
of maintenance and/or service should they be required.

• The appliance should not be located in a corrosive environment.

24

4) 1-Min. Fill Cycle – LED 4 is on. WV and X11 relay energize. After 1 min., CB checks for
a closed FS. If FS is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If harvest cycle begins (Comp,
HGV, FMR energized), continue to step 5a. If FS is open, WV remains energized
through additional 1-min. ll cycles until water enters the water tank and FS closes
(low water safety protection during initial start up and at the end of each harvest).
Diagnosis: Check that water enters the water tank. If not, check that the water supply
line shut-off valve is open and screens or external lters are clear. Check for 115VAC
at CB K1 #6 (O) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is
present, and WV does not energize, check for 115VAC at WV. If 115VAC is present,
check coil continuity. Ifopen, replace WV. If the water tank lls, but the appliance fails to
start harvest (Comp energized), check for open FS. See "II.E. Float Switch Check and
Cleaning." If FS is closed and CB fails to start the harvest cycle after 1 min., replace CB.

5a) Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV and X11 relay continue. Comp,

FMR, HGV, and X10 relay energize. CBmonitors the warming of the evaporator via the
thermistor located on the suction line. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB
reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the harvest timer
(S4 dip switch 1 & 2). The harvest timer has settings of 60, 90, 120, and 180 sec. The
pump-out timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) acts in place of the harvest timer during cycles
with a pump-out (S4 dip switch 5 & 6). WV and X11 relay are energized during harvest
for a maximum of 6 min. or the length of harvest minus 50sec., whichever is shorter.
50sec. before harvest terminates, PM energizes. See step 5b below.

a) Comp Diagnosis: Check that evaporator is warming. Ifnot, conrm that Comp

energizes. If not, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #1 or #9 (V) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is
not present, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #7 or #10 (BR) to neutral (W). If115VAC is
present at #7 or #10 (BR) and not at #1 or #9 (V), replace CB. If 115VAC is present,
check for 115VAC at CR or MC solenoid. If 115VAC is present, conrm contacts are
closed. If not, replace CR or MC. If CR or MC contacts are closed, check Comp
external overload, Comp start and run capacitors, Comp start relay, and Comp
motor winding. If Comp is energized and evaporator is not warming, check that HGV
energizes and opens. Check for 115VAC at CB K1 #2 (P) to a neutral(W). If 115VAC
is not present and LED 2 is on, replace CB. If115VAC is present, check coil voltage
and continuity. Replace as needed. Conrm that LLV is de-energized and closed (not
bypassing). If energized, replace CB. Ifde-energized and bypassing, replace LLV.
Conrm WRV is not leaking by. If evaporator is warming, PM energizes for the last 50
sec. of harvest.

b) HGV Diagnosis: If Comp is energized and evaporator is not warming, check that

HGV energizes and opens. Check for 115VAC at CB K1 #2 (P) to neutral (W).
If115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC at HGV
coil and check HGV coil continuity. Replace as needed.

c) LLV Diagnosis: Conrm that LLV is de-energized and closed (not bypassing). If

energized, replace CB. If de-energized and bypassing, replace LLV.

d) WRV Diagnosis: Conrm WRV is not leaking by.

25

5b) Harvest Pump Timer – LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. When the thermistor reaches 48°F

(9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the
harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2). 50 sec. before the harvest timer terminates, LED
3turns on and PM energizes. Comp, FMR, HGV, and X10 relay continue. LED 4 turns
off, WV and X11 relay de-energize.
Diagnosis: Place a thermometer on the suction line next to the thermistor. Has it
warmed to 48°F (9°C) or warmer? Conrm thermistor status. See "II.F. Thermistor
Check." If the thermistor reading is in proper range, dip switch 7 is on, and PM does
not energize 50 sec. before harvest terminates, replace CB. If WV continues, check for
115VAC at CB K1 #6 (O). If115VAC is present, and LED 4 is off, replace CB. If LED 3is
on and PM is not energized, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #5(DBU). If115VAC is not
present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present and PM is not energized, check for 115VAC
at X10relay terminal #7 (Y) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, check for 115VAC
at X10 relay terminal #3 (P) to neutral (W) and X10 relay terminal #5 (Y) to neutral (W).
If 115VAC is present on terminal #3(P) and not on terminal #5 (Y), replace X10 relay.
If 115VAC is present on X10 relay terminal #7 (Y) and PM is not energized, check for
115VAC at X10 relay terminal #4 (R) to neutral (W) and terminal #6 (DBU) to neutral
(W). If 115VAC is present on terminal #6(DBU) and not on terminal #4 (R), replace X10
relay. If 115VAC is present on X10relay terminal #4 (R), check control switch contact
continuity between terminals #4(R) and #5(R). Ifcontacts are open, replace control
switch. If contacts are closed and 115VAC is present between control switch terminal #5
(R) and neutral (W), check PM capacitor and motor winding continuity.

5c) Initial Harvest Cycle Termination Diagnosis: When the thermistor reaches 48°F

(9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the
harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2). Check discharge line temperature. For a thermistor
check, see "II.F.Thermistor Check." If 1-min. ll cycle starts after harvest timer
terminates, check that FS is clean and operating properly, see "II.E. Float Switch Check
and Cleaning." If FS is closed, CB proceeds to the next cycle. Ifnot, replace CB.
Note: The minimum total time allowed by CB for a complete harvest cycle is 2 min.

Maximum harvest time allowed is 20 min.

NOTICE! S4 dip switch 7 must remain on. Otherwise, PM will not energize during
the last 50 sec. of harvest.

26

6) Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on. Comp, FMR, and PM continue. FM and LLV energize.
HGV and X10 relay de-energize. Appliance is held in freeze by a 5-min. short cycle
protection timer. After 5-min. timer terminates and FS opens, freeze cycle terminates.
Note: PM power supply switches from CBK1 #5(DBU) in harvest to K1 #4 (R) in freeze.

a) Freeze Cycle Diagnosis: Conrm Comp, FMR, and PM continue. Conrm that

FM and LLV energize. Conrm WRV opens. Next, conrm HGV and X10 relay
de-energize. During the rst 5 min. of freeze, conrm evaporator is cooling. If not,
conrm WV de-energized (not leaking by), HGV de-energized (not bypassing),
LLV and FM energize, TXV and HM operate correctly, WRV opens, Comp is
efficient, and refrigerant charge is correct. See "VIII.A. Specication Sheet" and
"VIII.B.Performance Data."

b) Comp and FMR Diagnosis: If Comp and FMR de-energize once freeze begins,

check that appliance has not shut off on HPS ("POWER OK" LED off). If so, check
"3)b) HPS Diagnosis" above. If "POWER OK" LED is on, check for 115VAC at CB K1
#1 (V) or #9 (V) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present and LED 1 is on, replace CB.
If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC at CR or MC coil. If 115VAC is present, check
CR or MC coil and contact continuity. Replace as needed. If CR or MC is okay, check
Comp start relay and start and run capacitors. Next, check Comp motor winding
continuity. If Comp is energized but evaporator is not cooling, check for an inefficient
Comp. See "VIII.B. Performance Data." If Comp is energized but FMR is not, check
for 115VAC at the FMR junction box. If 115VAC is not present, check icemaker wiring
connections. If 115VAC is present, check for voltage at condenser unit. If115VAC
is not present, check eld wiring connections. If 115VAC is present, check FMR
capacitor, motor winding, and fan blade for binding.

c) WV and HGV Diagnosis: If WV is energized, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #6 (O) to

neutral (W). If 115VAC is present after PM energizes in harvest cycle, replace CB.
If 115VAC is not present, replace WV (bypassing). If HGV did not de-energize at
the end of harvest, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #2 (P) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is
present 50 sec. after PM energizes, replace CB. If 115VAC is not present, replace
HGV (bypassing).

d) PM Diagnosis: Conrm water is owing over evaporator from PM and not WV. If PM

de-energizes once freeze begins, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #4 (R) to neutral (W).
If 115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present and PM is de-energized,
check for 115VAC at control switch #5 (R) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present at CB
K1 #4 (R) and not at control switch #5 (R), check control switch continuity between
#5 (R) and #4 (R). Replace as needed. If 115VAC is present at control switch #5 (R)
to neutral (W), check PM capacitor and motor winding continuity.

e) FM and LLV Diagnosis: If FM or LLV does not energize, check for 115VAC at CB

K1#3 (BK) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present:
For FM, check capacitor, motor winding, and blade for binding.
For LLV, check coil voltage and continuity.

27

f) Refrigerant Pressures, HM, and TXV Diagnosis: If evaporator is still not cooling,

check refrigerant pressures. See "VIII.B. Performance Data."
Next, check HM operation. If refrigeration pressures are above HM setpoint and
HMis bypassing, replace HM. Check TXV for proper operation. Remove TXV bulb
and hold it in your hand, refrigerant low-side pressure should rise, place TXV bulb in
ice water, refrigerant low-side pressure should drop. A 10 to 15 pound pressure swing
between warm and cold conditions indicate a good TXV. If a 10 to 15 pound swing is
not present, replace TXV.

g) WRV Diagnosis: WRV is factory set and generally no adjustment is required.

IfWRV fails to open in freeze, check for proper refrigerant pressures. See "VIII.B.
Performance Data." If refrigerant pressures are correct and WRV does not open,
adjust or replace as needed. See "IV.C. Water Regulating Valve Adjustment
(water-cooled models)."

h) Freeze Termination Diagnosis: After 5 min. in freeze, disconnect CB K5 FS

connector. 15 sec. later appliance should switch out of the freeze cycle (15 second
delay after FS opens before terminating the freeze cycle). If appliance remains in
freeze longer than 15 sec. after FS removed, replace CB. If appliance switches with
FS removed but would previously not switch out of freeze with FS connected (long
freeze - 3 beep alarm), see "II.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning."

Note: Normal freeze cycle will last 20 to 40 min. depending on model and conditions.

Cycle times and pressures should follow performance data provided in this
manual. See "VIII.B. Performance Data."

i) Short Freeze Cycle Diagnosis: Conrm water tank lls and overows during 1 min.

ll and harvest cycles. If not, check water supply lters, shut-off valve, WV screen.
Ifwater tank empties before 5 min. timer terminates and freeze cycle is short, check
that CV is not leaking by (water owing down the potable drain). If CV is leaking by,
remove and clean CV, replace rubber seat and spring if necessary. If water tank is
full, see "II.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." for erratic operating FS.

7) Pump-Out Cycle – LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on (10/20 second pump-out). Timing of the
rst pump-out is determined by S4 dip switch 5& 6. See the table below.

"G" Control Board Settings

S4 Dip Switch Setting

No. 5 No. 6

OFF OFF Every cycle After 2nd freeze cycle

ON OFF Every 2 cycles After 3rd freeze cycle

OFF ON Every 5 cycles After 6th freeze cycle

ON ON Every 10 cycles After 11th freeze cycle

Comp and FMR continue, HGV energizes. If S4dip switch 3 & 4 are set to 3 off
and 4 on, LED 4 turns on and WV and X11 relay energize, energizing X10relay.

NOTICE!S4dip switch 3 & 4 must not be set to 3 off and 4 on. Otherwise, PM
will rotate in freeze cycle direction instead of pump-out direction. FM and LLV

de-energize. PM stops for 2 sec., then reverses for 10/20 sec. depending on pump-out
timer (S4dip switch 3 & 4) setting. When the pump-out timer terminates, pump-out

28

is complete. The pump-out frequency control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6) is factory set, and
generally no adjustment is required. However, the pump-out frequency control can be
set to have a pump-out occur every cycle, or every 2, 5, or 10 cycles. For details, see
"III.C.4. Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6)."

Pump-Out Diagnosis: In the freeze cycle before pump-out (see table above), after
5min. of freeze disconnect CB black K5 connector (FS connector). Check that PM
stops and re-starts and that PM rotation is correct (water owing down the drain through
CV). If PM does not stop and re-start, check that CB LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. If not,
replace CB. IfLEDs1,3, and 2 are on and PM does not energize, check for 115VAC
at CB K1 #5 (DBU) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC
is present, check that X10 relay is de-energized. If not, check X11 relay status. If X11
relay is energized, replace CB. If X11 relay is de-energized and X10 relay is energized,
replace X11 relay (contacts sticking). If X10 relay is de-energized, check for 115VAC
at terminal #6 (DBU) to neutral (W) and terminal #2 (DBU) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is
present on terminal #6 (DBU) and not on terminal #2 (DBU), replace X10 relay. If PM is
energized and rotating in pump-out rotation, make sure the drain line is not clogged and
that CV is clean and operating properly.

Conrm FM and LLV de-energize. If FM or LLV are energized with LEDs 1, 3, and 2 on,
replace CB.

8) Normal Harvest Cycle – Same as the initial harvest cycle. Return to step 5a) above.

Note: Appliance continues to cycle until MBC is satised or power is switched off. The

appliance always restarts at the 1-min. ll cycle.

C. Control Board Check

Before replacing 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.

Alarm Reset: If CB is in alarm (beeping), press the "ALARM RESET" button on CB

while CB is beeping. WARNING!Risk of electric shock. Care should be
taken not to touch live terminals. Once reset, the icemaker starts at the
1-minute ll cycle. For audible alarm information, see "III.B. LED Lights and
Audible Alarm Safeties."

1) Check the dip switch settings to assure that S4 dip switch 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 and S5 dip

switch 1 through 5 ("G" CB) are in the factory default position. S4 dip switch 1, 2, 5,6
are cleaning adjustments and the settings are exible. For factory default settings, see
"III.C.1. Default Dip Switch Settings."

2) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position. If the red "POWER OK" LED is on, control

voltage is good, continue to step 3. If the "POWER OK" LED is off, check CT secondary
circuit. CT output is 10.5VAC at 115VAC primary input. If the secondary circuit has
proper voltage and the red LED is off, replace CB.

If the secondary circuit does not have proper voltage, check CT primary circuit. Check

for 115VAC at CB K1 connector pin #10 (BR) to neutral (W) for 115VAC. Always choose
a white (W) neutral wire to establish a good neutral connection when checking voltages.
For additional checks, see "II.G.1. No Ice Production."

3) The "OUTPUT TEST" button provides a relay sequence test. Make sure the control

switch is in the "ICE" position, then press the "OUTPUT TEST" button. For the correct
lighting sequence, see the table below. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer
edge of the control board is 1, 4, 3, 2. Components (e.g., compressor) cycle during the
test.

Control

Board

"E" 2, 3, 4, 1

"G" 1, 4, 3, 2

Correct LED

Lighting Sequence

Following the test, the icemaker begins operation at the 1-minute ll cycle for both "E"
and "G" control boards. If the LEDs do not light as described above, replace CB.

4) To verify voltage output from CB to the components, slide the CB K1 connector out far

enough to allow multimeter lead contact. With the icemaker in the cycle to be tested,
check output voltage from the corresponding pin on CB K1 connector to a neutral
(Wwire). If output voltage is not found and the appropriate LED is on, replace CB.
