B. Service Diagnosis
WARNING
• The appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualied 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.D. Control
Board Check." Check dip switch settings to assure that S4 dip switches and S5 dip
switches 1 through 5 are in the factory default position. S4 dip switch 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 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.
• When checking voltage from the CB K1 connector (10 pin connector), pull
CBK1connector 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 ice from BC sensing area.
2) Check that the 115VAC 10A fuse is good.
16
Page 17
1. Sequence and Component Diagnosis
3) Power On: Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch to the "ON"
position and the mode switch to the "ICE" position. A 5-sec. delay occurs. CB red
"POWER OK" LED turns on. If CB yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on (indicating a full
bin), move ice away from BC sensing area.
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.D. Control Board Check" or BC using steps in "II.E.
Bin Control Check and Adjustment."
a) Power On Diagnosis: If CB red "POWER OK" LED is off, conrm 10A fuse is good.
Check for 115VAC at control switch #2 (BK) to neutral (W) then at control switch #1(P)
to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present on #2 (BK) and not on #1(P), replace control
switch. If 115VAC is present on control switch #1 (P), check for 115VAC at HPS (P)
to neutral (W) then HPS (BK) to neutral (W). If115VAC 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.
Conrm 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.
4) 1-Min. Fill Cycle – LED 4 is on. WV energizes. 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 until 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.
Ifopen, replace WV. If the water tank lls, but the appliance fails to start harvest (Comp
energized), check for open FS. See "II.F. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." If FS is
closed and CB fails to start the harvest cycle after 1 min., replace CB.
17
Page 18
5a) 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
and S5 dip switch 4). WV are energized during harvest for a maximum of 6 min. or the
length of harvest minus HPT setting (S4 dip switch 6), whichever is shorter. See step 5b
below.
a) Comp Diagnosis: Check that evaporator is warming. Ifnot, conrm that Comp
energizes. If not, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #9 (Y) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not
present, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #10 (BK) to neutral (W). If115VAC is present
at #10 (BK) and not at #9 (Y), replace CB. If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC
at mode switch #2 (Y) to neutral and mode switch #1 (V) to neutral. If 115VAC is
present at #2 (Y) and not at #1 (V), conrm mode switch is in "ICE" position. If in
"ICE" position, check mode switch continuity. If open, replace mode switch. If 115VAC
is present at mode switch #1 (V), check for 115VAC at CR solenoid. If 115V AC is
present, conrm contacts are closed. If not, replace CR. If CR 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).
If115VAC is not present, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #1 (V). If 115VAC is not present,
check wiring for loose connection from CB 10 pin connector pin #1 (V) to mode
switch. If 115VAC is present on #1 (V) and not at #2 (Y), replace CB.
If 115VAC is present at #2 (Y), check for 115VAC at HGV coil and check HGV coil
continuity. Replace as needed. Note: LED is off when HGV is energized and on when
LLV/FM are energized.
c) LLV Diagnosis: Conrm that LLV is de-energized and closed (not bypassing).
Ifenergized, replace CB. If de-energized and bypassing, replace LLV.
d) WRV Diagnosis: Conrm WRV is not leaking by. If WRV is leaking by, conrm HGV
is open and LLV is closed. Next, check for proper refrigerant pressures. If refrigerant
pressures are correct, adjust or replace WRV. See "IV.C. Water Regulating Valve
Adjustment (water-cooled models).".
5b) Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist) – LEDs 1 and 3 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 and S5 dip switch 4).
When WV de-energizes, LED 4 turns off and LED 3 turns on. PM energizes. Comp,
FMR, and HGV continue.
Diagnosis: Place a thermometer on the suction line next to the thermistor. Has it
warmed to 48°F (9°C) or warmer? Conrm thermistor status. See "II.G Thermistor
Check." If the thermistor reading is in proper range, dip switch 7 is on, and PM does not
energize before harvest terminates, replace CB. If WV continues, check for 115VAC at
CB K1 #6 (O). If115VAC is present, and LED 4 is off, replace CB. If LED 3is on and PM
is not energized, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #4(R). If115VAC is not present, replace
CB. If 115VAC is present and PM is not energized, check PM capacitor and motor
winding continuity.
18
Page 19
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 and S5 dip switch 4). Check discharge line
temperature. For a thermistor check, see "II.G.Thermistor Check." If 1-min. ll cycle
starts after harvest timer terminates, check that FS is clean and operating properly, see
"II.F. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." If FS is closed, CB proceeds to the next cycle.
Ifnot, replace CB.
Note: The minimum total time allowed by CB for a complete harvest cycle is based on
S5 dip switch 4. Maximum harvest time allowed is 20 min.
NOTICE! S4 dip switch 7 must remain on. Otherwise, PM will not energize during
the last seconds of harvest.
6) Freeze Cycle – LED 1, 2, and 3 are on. Comp, FMR, and PM continue. FM and
LLV energize. HGV de-energizes. Appliance is held in freeze by a 5-min. short cycle
protection timer. After 5-min. short cycle protection timer terminates and FS opens,
freeze cycle terminates.
Note: PM power supply continues from CB K1 #4 (R) in harvest and in freeze.
Anti-Slush: When anti-slush is enabled (S5 dip switch 5 "ON"), PM de-energizes when
thermistor reaches 36°F (2.2°C) (5.8 kΩ) for 10 sec. then, energizes for the remainder
of the freeze cycle.
a) Freeze Cycle Diagnosis: Conrm Comp, FMR, and PM continue. Conrm that FM
and LLV energize. Conrm WRV opens. Next, conrm HGV de-energizes.
During the rst 5 min. of freeze, conrm evaporator is cooling. If not, conrm
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. Specication and Performance Data
Sheets."
b) Comp and FMR Diagnosis: If Comp and FMR de-energize once freeze begins,
check that appliance has not shut off on HPS (CB "POWER OK" LED off). If so,
check "3)b) HPS Diagnosis" above. If CB "POWER OK" LED is on, check for 115VAC
at CB K1 #9 (Y) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present and LED 1 is on, replace CB.
If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC at CR coil. If 115VAC is present, check CR
coil and contact continuity. Replace as needed. If CR 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.A. Specication and Performance Data Sheets." 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. If115VAC 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 and LED 2 is on, replace CB. If 115VAC is not present, replace HGV
(bypassing).
19
Page 20
d) PM Diagnosis: Conrm 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 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 and LED 2 is on, check for
115VAC at CB K1 #1(V). If 115VAC is present at #1 (V) and not at #3 (BK), replace
CB. If 115VAC is present and LED 2 is on:
For FM, check capacitor, motor winding, and blade for binding.
For LLV, check coil voltage and continuity.
Note: LED 2 is on for LLV/FM and off for HGV.
f) Refrigerant Pressures, HM, and TXV Diagnosis: If evaporator is still not cooling,
check refrigerant pressures. See "VIII.A. Specication and Performance Data
Sheets."
Next, check HM operation. If refrigeration pressures are above HM setpoint and
HMis 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.
IfWRV fails to open in freeze, check for proper refrigerant pressures. See "VIII.A.
Specication and Performance Data Sheets." 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.F. 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.A. Specication and Performance Data Sheets."
i) Short Freeze Cycle Diagnosis: Conrm water tank lls and overows during 1 min.
ll and harvest cycles. If not, check water supply lters, shut-off valve, WV screen.
Ifwater tank empties before 5 min. timer terminates and freeze cycle is short, check
that DV is not leaking by (water owing down the drain). If DV is leaking by, remove
and clean DV, replace if necessary. If water tank is full, see "II.F. Float Switch Check
and Cleaning." for erratic operating FS.

Note: If S4dip switch 3 & 4 are set to 3 off and 4 on, LED 4 turns on and WV energizes.
NOTICE!S5 dip switch 1 must not be adjusted. This is the pump-out circulation
selection and allows DV to energize in pump-out.
FM and LLV de-energize. PM stops for 2 sec., then PM and DV energize for 10/20 sec.
depending on pump-out timer (S4dip switch 3 & 4) setting. When the pump-out timer
terminates, pump-out is complete. The pump-out frequency control (S4 dip switch 5) 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 10 cycles or every cycle. For details,
see "III.C.4. Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5)."
Pump-Out Diagnosis: In the freeze cycle before pump-out (see table above), after
5min. of freeze disconnect CB black K5 connector (FS connector). Check that PM
stops and re-starts. Next, check that PM and DV energized (water owing down the
drain through DV). If PM does not stop and re-start, check that CB LEDs 1, 3, and
5are on. If not, replace CB. IfLEDs1,3, and 5 are on and PM does not energize,
check for 115VAC at CB K1 #4 (R) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB.
If not, check PM motor windings and impeller for binding. If energized, make sure DV
energized. If not, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #5 (W/BU). If 115VAC is not present and
LED 5 is on, replace CB. If 115VAC is present, check DV solenoid continuity. Replace as
needed. If DV is energized and open, check that the drain line is not clogged.
Conrm FM and LLV de-energize. If FM or LLV are energized with LEDs 1, 3, and 5 on,
replace CB.
8) Normal Harvest Cycle – Same as the initial harvest cycle. Return to step 5a) above.
Note: Appliance continues to cycle until BC is satised or power is switched off.

C. Freeze-Time Correction Cycle (90 min.)
Freeze-Time Correction function is enabled when S4 Dip Switch 7 is in the "ON"
position and initiates when the difference between the minimum and maximum recorded
freeze times is equal to or greater than 600sec. (10min. ). Freeze time is recorded and
freeze cycles are counted starting at the 2nd freeze cycle after startup from a power
off condition. After 6 recorded freeze cycles, CB starts comparing the minimum and
maximum differential of recorded freeze cycle times. Up to 10freeze cycles are recorded
and maintained in memory. At the 11th recorded freeze cycle, the rst recorded freeze
cycle time is dropped to maintain the maximum number of 10 recorded freeze cycles.
Freeze time recordings and freeze cycle counts are retained in memory during a BC off
cycle and resume on the 2nd freeze cycle after BC restart.
1) Initiation and CB Operation: When the differential between minimum and maximum
recorded freeze times exceeds 600 sec. (10min.), freeze-time correction cycle starts.
CB red "POWER OK" LED blinks. When freeze-time correction cycle occurs 3 or more
times within a 36 hour period, CB yellow "EXT HARVEST" LED blinks with CB red
"POWER OK" LED. Appliance starts in freeze cycle after a freeze-time correction cycle.
Toreset CB LEDs, press ALARM RESET button on CB with power on. CB resets LEDs
and appliance continues cycle without interruption.
2) Freeze-Time Correction Sequence: First occurrence within 36 hr., minimum and maximum freeze times have exceeded
differential parameters. CB "POWER OK" LED starts blinking. Freeze-Time Correction
Cycle starts.
Second occurrence within 36 hr., minimum and maximum freeze times have exceeded
differential parameters. If not reset, CB "POWER OK" LED continues blinking. If reset
from rst occurrence, CB "POWER OK" LED starts blinking. Freeze-Time Correction
Cycle starts.
Third occurrence within 36 hr. minimum and maximum freeze times have exceeded
differential parameters. CB yellow "EXT HARVEST" LED starts blinking. Also, If not
reset, CB "POWER OK" LED continues blinking. If reset, CB "POWER OK" LED starts
blinking. Freeze-Time Correction Cycle starts.
Total freeze-time correction cycle last for 90min. At the end of 80min., the nal step
initiates and nal Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist) with WV (10-min.) starts. Once
the nal Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist) with WV (10-min.) terminates
(90 min. complete), normal freeze cycle begins.

D. 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 are in the factory default position. S4 dip switch 1, 2, 5,and 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 "ON" position and the mode switch to the "ICE" position.
If the red CB "POWER OK" LED is on, control voltage is good, continue to step 3. If CB
"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 (BK) 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.J.1. No Ice Production."
3) The "OUTPUT TEST" button provides a relay sequence test. Make sure the control
switch is in the "ON" position and the mode 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, 5, 3, 2.
Components (e.g., compressor) cycle during the test.
Following the test, the icemaker begins operation at the 1-minute ll cycle. 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
(Wwire). If output voltage is not found and the appropriate LED is on, replace CB.
5) Check CB control connectors K3, K4, and K5 for correct VDC per table below.

2. Harvest Time (S4 dip switch 1 & 2)
The harvest timer starts counting when the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C) at the
evaporator outlet and the control board reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor. The harvest
timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, a setting longer
than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the drain provided at harvest
needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning. Note that the pump-out timer (S4 dip switch
3&4) acts in place of the harvest timer during cycles with a pump out.
For details, see "III.C.3. Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3& 4)."
Note: On models with a pump-out every cycle, the harvest timer is only relevant during
the initial harvest cycle since a pump out occurs every cycle thereafter.

3. Pump-Out Time/Harvest Time During Pump-Out (S4 dip switch 3 & 4)
When a pump-out is called for, the pump motor stops for 2 sec. After 2 sec. the drain
valve and pump motor energize. On KM-350M_J models the inlet water valve also
energizes. Water is removed from the bottom of the water tank and sent down the drain.
The pump-out drains the water tank for the time determined by the pump-out timer. The
pump-out timer also acts in place of the harvest timer during cycles with a pump-out. The
pump-out timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, where
water quality is bad and the icemaker needs a longer pump-out time, the pump-out timer
can be adjusted. The pump-out timer control can be set to pump-out for 10 or 20 sec.
During pump-out cycles minimum harvest time is based on times given in the
table below.

The pump-out frequency control is factory set to drain the water tank every 10 cycles.
Generally no adjustment is required. However, where water quality is bad and the
icemaker needs a pump-out more often, the pump-out frequency can be adjusted. The
pump-out frequency control can be set to have a pump-out occur every cycle, or every
10 cycles.

5. Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist) (S4 dip switch 6)
NOTICE
Factory set for proper operation. Do not adjust. Adjustment outside of the factory
default setting may result in damage to the appliance.
Harvest pump time (harvest assist) is only active when S4 dip switch 7 is in the "ON"
position. In the factory default position, the harvest pump time (harvest assist) starts with
50sec. left to go in harvest cycle (S4 dip switch 6) and after the thermistor reaches 48°F
(9°C) at the evaporator outlet and the control board reads 3.9kΩ from the thermistor. The
harvest pump time (harvest assist) is factory set, and no adjustment is required.
Factory set for proper operation. Do not adjust. Adjustment outside of the factory
default setting may result in damage to the appliance.
a) Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist)
Depending on S4 dip switch 7 setting, the pump motor either stays off or is energized
during the last seconds of the harvest cycle. When the pump motor is energized (S4 dip
switch 7 on), water circulates over the evaporator. The harvest water valve is open during
harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus the harvest pump
time value(S4 dip switch 6), whichever is shorter.
When S4 dip switch 7 is in the on position and harvest begins, 50 sec. before harvest
termination, LED 4 turns off, inlet water valve Next, LED 3 turns on and control board
K1connector pin #4 (R) energizes, energizing the pump motor for the last seconds of
harvest. Harvest pump time adjusted by S4 dip switch 1 & 2 and S5 dip switch 4settings.
Contact Technical Support before adjusted these settings.

NOTICE
Adjust to proper specication, or the icemaker may not operate correctly.
The freeze timer setting determines the maximum allowed freeze time to prevent
possible freeze-up issues. Upon termination of the freeze timer, the control board initiates
the harvest cycle or pump-out cycle. After 2 consecutive freeze timer terminations, the
control board shuts down the icemaker. In this case, see "II.J.3. Low Ice Production"
for possible solutions. The freeze timer is factory set and no adjustment is required.

IV. Refrigeration Circuit and Component Service Information
WARNING
• This appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualied service
personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re.
• Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply. Place
the disconnect in the "OFF" position. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power supply
from being turned back on inadvertently.
• CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are
securely in place after the icemaker is serviced. Make sure that none have fallen
into the dispenser unit/ice storage bin.
• Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and dispenser unit/ice storage bin are
clean after service.
A. Refrigeration Circuit Service Information
WARNING
• Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by
properly trained and EPA-certied service personnel.
• 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
• Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
• Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 min. when replacing or servicing
parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A applications 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 icemaker is provided with refrigerant access valves. Using proper refrigerant practices,
recover the refrigerant. Store the refrigerant in an approved container. Do not discharge the
refrigerant into the atmosphere.
45
Page 46
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 hydrouoric
acid and carbonyl uoride both of which are hazardous.
• Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.
1) Braze all ttings while purging with nitrogen gas owing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
Note: Because the pipes in the evaporator case are specially coated to resist corrosion,
it is important to make connections outside the evaporator case when possible.
Ifit is necessary to braze inside the evaporator case, use sandpaper to remove
the coating from the brazing connections before unbrazing the components.
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 the charging hoses to both
high and low-side refrigerant 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.
46
Page 47
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. For the required refrigerant charge, see the rating label inside the icemaker.
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).
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
refrigerant 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 refrigerant access valves to prevent a possible leak.

C. Water Regulating Valve Adjustment (water-cooled model)
The water regulating valve is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However,
when necessary, adjust the water regulator using the following procedure.
1) Prepare a thermometer to check the condenser drain temperature. Attach a pressure
gauge to the high-side line of the system.
2) 5 min. after a freeze cycle starts, conrm
that the thermometer reads 104°F to 115°F
(40°C to 46°C). If it does not, rotate the
adjustment screw by using a at blade
screwdriver until the temperature is in the
proper range. See Fig. 7. Next, check that
the reference pressure is in the range
indicated in the Head Pressure table in the
Performance Data section. If it is not in the
