B. Service Diagnosis

• 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 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 (230VAC), check electrical outlet power supply and
conrm 13A power supply cord fuse is good.
• Main transformer; The 115VAC neutral (W) for components is provided through the main transformer. To conrm a good 115VAC neutral (W), check for 60VAC from white (W) neutral to ground/earth (GND (EARTH)). If 60VAC is present, main transformer and neutral is good. If 60VAC is not present, check 230VAC main power supply to the main transformer. If 230VAC is present at the electrical outlet, check power supply cord fuse and main transformer continuity.
• When checking component 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 CBK1connector out slightly to allow room for multimeter test leads contact.
1) Remove the front panel, then move the control switch to the "OFF" position. Next, unplug the power supply cord from the electrical outlet. Access the control box and check that the 115VAC 10A fuse is good.
2) Clear ice from BC sensing area.
11
1. Sequence and Component Diagnosis
3) Power On: Plug the power supply cord back into the electrical outlet, 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 or see "II.D. Bin Control Check and Adjustment."
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" or BC using steps in "II.D. Bin Control Check and Adjustment."
a) Power On Diagnosis: If CB red "POWER OK" LED is off, conrm 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). 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 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, TXV, LLV, strainer, check valve, and drier.
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.
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 and HGV energize), 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. 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.
12
5a) Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV continues. Comp 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 is 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. Ifnot, conrm 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). If115VAC 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), conrm 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, conrm 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). If115VAC 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 (P), replace CB. If 115VAC is present at #2 (P), 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: Conrm that LLV is de-energized and closed (not bypassing).
Ifenergized, replace CB. If de-energized and bypassing, replace LLV.
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 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? 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 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 #4(R). If115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present and PM is not energized, check PM capacitor and motor winding continuity.
13
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.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 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 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. Slush Control: When slush control 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: Conrm Comp and PM continue. Conrm that FM and
LLV energize. Next, conrm HGV de-energizes. 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 operates correctly, Comp is efficient, and refrigerant charge is correct. See "VIII.A. Specication and Performance Data Sheets."
b) Comp Diagnosis: If Comp de-energizes 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 external overload, Comp start and run capacitors, Comp start relay, and Comp motor winding. If Comp is energized but evaporator is not cooling, check for an inefficient Comp. See "VIII.A. Specication and Performance Data Sheets."
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).
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 PM capacitor and motor winding continuity. Except for 10 sec. slush control.
14
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 and TXV Diagnosis: If evaporator is still not cooling, check
refrigerant pressures. See "VIII.A. Specication and Performance Data Sheets." Next, 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) 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.A. Specication and Performance Data Sheets."
h) 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 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.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." for erratic operating FS.
