B. Sequence of Operation
1. Sequence Cycles and Shutdown
a) "E" Control Board: Auxiliary Code T-0, U-0
The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, CB red
"POWER OK" LED comes on. There is a 5-second delay before startup. Note that the
order of the component LEDs from the outer edge of CB is 1, 4, 3, 2.
(1) 1-Minute Fill Cycle
LED 4 is on. WV energizes and the 1-minute ll cycle begins. After 1 minute, CB
checks for a closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If not, WV remains
energized through additional 1-minute ll cycles until water lls the tank and closes
F/S. This serves as a low water safety to protect PM.
(2) Initial Harvest Cycle
LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV remains energized, Comp, FMR, 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 a 3.9 kΩ signal 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 seconds. For
details, see "II.C.3.b) Harvest Timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2)." WV is energized during
harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest, whichever is shorter.
LED 4 goes off when WV de-energizes. When the harvest timer expires, the harvest
cycle is complete. CB checks the position of F/S and proceeds to the next cycle if it
is closed or calls for a 1-minute ll cycle if it is open. The minimum total time allowed
by CB for a complete harvest cycle is 2 minutes.
(3) Freeze Cycle
LED 1 is on. Comp and FMR remain energized, PM, FM, and LLV energize, HGV
and WV de-energize. For the rst 5 minutes, CB will not accept a signal from F/S.
This minimum 5-minute freeze time is short cycle protection for Comp. At the end of
5 minutes, F/S assumes control. As ice builds on the evaporator, the water level in
the tank lowers. The freeze cycle continues until F/S opens and terminates the cycle.
(4) Pump-Out Cycle
LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. LED 4 is on when S4 dip switch 3 & 4 are set to 3 off and
4 on. Comp and FMR remain energized. HGV energizes. WV energizes if S4 dip
switch 3 off and 4 on. LLV and FM de-energize. PM stops for 2 seconds then
reverses, taking water from the bottom of the tank and forcing pressure against the
check valve seat allowing water to go through the check valve and down the drain.
At the same time, water ows through the small tube to power ush F/S. When the
pump-out timer expires, the pump-out is complete.
The rst pump-out occurs after the 1st freeze cycle, then every 10th cycle thereafter.
The pump-out frequency is factory set, and 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
(S4 dip switch 5 & 6) can be set to have a pump-out occur every cycle, or every
2, 5, or 10 cycles. For details, see "II.C.3.d) Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip
switch 5 & 6)."

(5) Harvest Cycle
Same as the initial harvest cycle. See "II.B.1.a)(2) Initial Harvest Cycle."
Note: Unit continues to cycle until TBC is satised or power is turned off. The unit
always restarts at the 1-minute ll cycle.
(6) Shutdown
When ice contacts the thermostatic bulb (TBC switch open), TBC shuts down the
unit within 10 seconds. TBC is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required.
However, adjustment may be needed in some conditions, particularly at higher
altitude locations. CAUTION! Do not adjust S4 dip switch 7 out of the factory
default position on this model. This dip switch must be left in the factory
default position or this unit will not operate correctly.

b) "G" Control Board: Auxiliary Code U-1 and Later
The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, CB red
"POWER OK" LED and green "BC CLOSED" LED come on. There is a 5-second delay
before startup. Note that the order of the component LEDs from the outer edge of CB is
1, 4, 3, 2.
(1) 1-Minute Fill Cycle
LED 4 is on. WV energizes and the 1-minute ll cycle begins. After 1 minute, CB
checks for a closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If not, WV remains
energized through additional 1-minute ll cycles until water lls the tank and closes
F/S. This serves as a low water safety to protect PM.
(2) Initial Harvest Cycle
LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV remains energized, Comp, FMR, 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 a 3.9 kΩ signal 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 seconds. For details, see
"II.C.3.b) Harvest Timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2)." WV is energized during harvest for a
maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 0 or 50 seconds (harvest pump
timer (S4 dip switch 7)), whichever is shorter. CAUTION! Do not adjust S4 dip
switch 7 out of the factory default position on this model. This dip switch must
be left in the factory default position or this unit will not operate correctly. For
details, see "II.C.3.e) Bin Control Selector/Harvest Pump Timer (S4 dip switch 7)."
LED 4 goes off when WV de-energizes. LED 3 comes on and PM energizes and runs
for the last 0 or 50 seconds of harvest depending on S4 dip switch 7 setting. When
the harvest timer expires, the harvest cycle is complete. CB checks the position of
F/S and proceeds to the freeze cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1-minute ll cycle
if it is open. The minimum total time allowed by CB for a complete harvest cycle is
2 minutes.
21
Page 22
(3) Freeze Cycle
LED 1 is on. Comp and FMR remain energized, PM, FM, and LLV energize. HGV
and WV de-energize. For the rst 5 minutes, CB will not accept a signal from F/S.
This minimum 5-minute freeze time is short cycle protection for Comp. At the end of
5 minutes, F/S assumes control. As ice builds on the evaporator, the water level in
the tank lowers. The freeze cycle continues until F/S opens and terminates the cycle.
There is a 15 second delay before CB acknowledges an open F/S.
(4) Pump-Out Cycle
LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. LED 4 is on when S4 dip switch 3 & 4 are set to 3 off and
4 on. Comp and FMR remain energized, HGV energizes, WV energizes if S4 dip
switch 3 off and 4 on. LLV and FM de-energize. PM stops for 2 seconds then
reverses, taking water from the bottom of the tank and forcing pressure against the
check valve seat allowing water to go through the check valve and down the drain.
At the same time, water ows through the small tube to power ush F/S. When the
pump-out timer expires, the pump-out is complete.
The rst pump-out occurs after the 11th freeze cycle, then every 10th cycle
thereafter. The pump-out frequency control is factory set, and 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 (S4 dip switch 5 & 6) can be set to have a pump-out occur every
cycle, or every 2, 5, or 10 cycles. Timing of the rst pump-out is dependent on S4
dip switch 5 & 6 settings. See the table below. For details, see "II.C.3.d) Pump-Out

CAUTION
1. The control board is fragile; handle very carefully.
2. The control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to
failure due to static discharge. It is especially important to touch the metal
part of the unit before handling or replacing the control board.
3. Do not touch the electronic devices on the control board or the back of the
control board.
4. Do not change wiring and connections. Do not misconnect K3, K4, and K5,
because the same connector is used for the thermistor, mechanical bin
control, and oat switch. K4 is not used on "E" control board models.
5. Always replace the whole control board assembly if it goes bad.
6. Do not short out power supply to test for voltage.

2. Features
a) Maximum Water Supply Period - 6 minutes
"E" control board: The inlet water valve is open during harvest for 6 minutes or the length
of harvest, whichever is shorter.
"G" control board: The inlet water valve is open during harvest for 6 minutes or the
length of harvest minus 0 or 50 seconds (harvest pump timer (S4 dip switch 7)),
whichever is shorter. For details, see "II.C.3.e) Bin Control Selector/Harvest Pump Timer
(S4 dip switch 7)."
b) Harvest Backup Timer and Freeze Timer
The harvest backup timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the
harvest cycle takes more than 20 minutes to complete. The control board signals this
problem using 2 beeps every 3 seconds.
The freeze timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the freeze cycle
takes longer than the time specied to complete. The control board signals this
problem using 3 beeps every 3 seconds. The freeze timer is factory set using S4 dip
switch 9 &10. For details, see "II.C.3.g) Freeze Timer (S4 dip switch 9 & 10)."
The "ALARM RESET" button on the control board must be pressed with power on to
reset either of these safeties.
c) High Temperature Safety
The temperature of the suction line in the refrigeration circuit is limited by the high
temperature safety. This protects the unit from excessively high temperatures. If the
evaporator temperature reaches 127°F±7°F (53°C±4°C), the control board reads a
.8 kΩ signal from the thermistor and shuts down the icemaker.
The control board will signal this problem using 1 beep every 3 seconds. The "ALARM
RESET" button on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset the safety.
d) Low Water Safety
The control board checks the position of the oat switch at the end of the initial 1-minute
ll cycle and at the end of each harvest cycle. If the oat switch is in the up position
(electrical circuit closed), the control board changes to the next cycle. If the oat switch
is in the down position (electrical circuit open), the control board changes to additional
1-minute ll cycles until water enters the tank and closes the oat switch. When the oat
switch closes, the control board changes to the next cycle. The unit will not start without
adequate water in the tank. This serves as a low water safety to protect the water pump.
For water-cooled model, if the condenser water supply is shut off, the unit is protected by
the high-pressure switch.
e) High Voltage and Low Voltage Cut-outs
The maximum and minimum allowable supply voltages of this icemaker are limited by
the high voltage and low voltage cut-outs. If miswiring (especially on single phase 3 wire
models) causes excessive voltage (147Vac±5% or more), the high voltage cut-out shuts
down the circuit in 3 seconds and the icemaker automatically stops. The control board
will signal this problem using 7 beeps every 3 seconds.
The icemaker also automatically stops in cases of insufficient voltage (92Vac±5% or
less). The control board will signal this problem using 6 beeps every 3 seconds. When
the proper supply voltage is resumed, the icemaker automatically starts running again.

Page 30
f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties
(1) "E" Control Board: Auxiliary Code T-0, U-0
At startup, a 5-second delay occurs while the control board conducts an internal timer
check. A beep occurs when power is turned off. The red LED indicates proper control
voltage and remains on unless a control voltage problem occurs. The green LEDs
1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the table below. Note
that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the control board is 1, 4, 3, 2.
For details, see "II.B. Sequence of Operation."

b) Harvest Timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2)
The harvest timer when the thermistor reads 48°F (9°C) at the evaporator outlet and the
control board reads the thermistor's 3.9 kΩ signal. 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 ush provided at harvest needs to be prolonged
for extra cleaning. Before changing this setting, contact Hoshizaki Technical Support at
1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a
longer setting decreases 24-hour production.
Note that the pump-out timer (S1 dip switch 3 & 4) acts in place of the harvest timer
during cycles with a pump-out. For details, see "II.C.3.c) Pump-Out Timer (S1 dip

c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4)
When a pump-out is called for, the pump motor de-energizes after the preceding freeze
cycle. The pump motor energizes 2 seconds later in the reverse direction, taking water
from the bottom of the tank and forcing pressure against the check valve seat allowing
water to go through the check valve and down the drain. At the same time, water ows
through the small tube to power ush the oat switch. The pump motor 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 seconds.

The pump-out frequency control is factory set to drain the water tank every 10 cycles,
and 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
2, 5, or 10 cycles.
Timing of the rst pump-out is dependent on the control board. "E" control board rst
pump-out is after the rst freeze cycle. "G" control board rst pump-out is dependent on
S4 dip switch 5 & 6. See the table below.
e) Bin Control Selector/Harvest Pump Timer (S4 dip switch 7)
Depending on the control board, S4 dip switch 7 is either a bin control selector or harvest
pump timer.

D. Bin Control
1. Thermostatic Bin Control: Auxiliary Code T-0, U-0
CAUTION
When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), the thermostatic bin
control switch opens and shuts down the icemaker even if the ice storage bin
is empty. When the thermostat is set in the prohibited range, the icemaker
operates continuously even if the ice storage bin is lled with ice. Setting in the
prohibited range may result in severe damage to the icemaker.
The thermostatic bin control switch is a temperature controlled switch used to control
the level of ice in the bin. It is in line with the power supply to the control switch.
The thermostatic bin control switch shuts down the unit within 10 seconds when ice
contacts the thermostatic bulb, regardless of the cycle at activation. The thermostatic
bin control is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However,
adjustment may be needed in some conditions, particularly at higher altitude
locations. For further details, see "IV.C.1. Thermostatic Bin Control Check."
2. Mechanical Bin Control: Auxiliary Code U-1 and Later
The mechanical bin control is a lever-actuated bin control switch used to control the
level of ice in the bin.The mechanical bin control connects to the control board RED
K4 connector. When the actuator paddle is not engaged (mechanical bin control
switch closed; control board green "BC CLOSED" LED on), the unit produces ice.
When the actuator paddle is engaged (mechanical bin control switch open; control
board yellow "BC OPEN" LED on), the unit shuts down as outlined in the table below.

E. Float Switch
The oat switch is used to determine that there is sufficient water in the tank after
the 1-minute ll cycle and after each harvest cycle. The oat switch is also used to
determine that the appropriate volume of water has been converted into ice before
switching out of the freeze cycle. No adjustment is required.
F. Thermistor
The thermistor is used as a harvest control sensor. The thermistor's resistance varies
depending on the suction line temperature. The control board monitors the resistance to
start the harvest timer. No adjustment is required.
G. Control Switch
The control switch has three positions: "OFF" for power off, "ICE" for icemaking, and
"WASH" to activate the water pump when cleaning and sanitizing.

IV. Service Diagnosis
WARNING
1. This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualied service
personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re.
2. Risk of electric shock. Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical
practices.
3. Moving parts (e.g., fan blade) can crush and cut. Keep hands clear.
4. CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews
are securely in place after the unit is serviced. Make sure that none have
fallen into the storage bin.
5. Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and storage bin are clean after
the unit is serviced. For cleaning procedures, see "VI. Cleaning and
Maintenance."
A. Diagnostic Procedure
The diagnostic procedure is basically a sequence check which can be used at unit
startup or for system diagnosis. This procedure allows you to diagnose electrical system
and component failures. Before conducting the diagnostic procedure, check for correct
installation, proper voltage per unit nameplate, and adequate water supply. Check
CB using the steps in "IV.B. Control Board Check." 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 "II.C.3.a) Default Dip Switch
Settings." As you go through the procedure, check to assure the components energize
and de-energize correctly. If not, those components and controls are suspect.
1) Turn off the power supply, then access the control box. Clear any ice from TBC or
MBC.
2) Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch to the "ICE" position. A
5-second delay occurs. The red "POWER OK" LED on CB comes on. On "G" CB,
the green "BC CLOSED" LED also comes on. If the yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on
(indicating a full bin), check MBC. See "IV.C.2.a) Mechanical Bin Control Check."
WARNING
1. Risk of electric shock. Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical
practices.
2. Moving parts (e.g., fan blade) can crush and cut. Keep hands clear.
50
Page 51
3) 1-Minute Fill Cycle – LED 4 is on. WV energizes. After 1 minute, CB checks for a
closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If closed, continue to step 4. If
open, WV remains energized through additional 1-minute ll cycles until water lls the
tank and closes F/S (low water safety). Diagnosis: If WV does not open, check the
supply voltage at WV terminals, check continuity on the coil, conrm the screen or
external lter is not plugged (no water ow). If unit fails to start harvest, check for open
F/S or bad 1-minute timer in CB. See "IV.D. Float Switch Check and Cleaning" and "IV.
B. Control Board Check."
4) Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV remains energized, Comp, FMR,
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 a 3.9 kΩ signal
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 seconds. For
details, see "II.C.3.b) Harvest Timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2)." When the harvest timer
expires, the harvest cycle is complete. CB checks the position of F/S and proceeds to
the next cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1-minute ll cycle if it is open. The minimum
total time allowed by CB for a complete harvest cycle is 2 minutes.
"E" CB: WV is energized during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of
harvest, whichever is shorter.
"G" CB: WV is energized during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length
of harvest minus 0 or 50 seconds (harvest pump timer (S4 dip switch 7)),
whichever is shorter. LED 4 goes off when WV de-energizes. LED 3 comes
on and PM energizes and runs for the last 0 or 50 seconds of harvest
depending on S4 dip switch 7 setting. CAUTION! Do not adjust S4 dip
switch 7 out of the factory default position on this model. This dip
switch must be left in the factory default position or this unit will not
operate correctly. For details, see "II.C.3.e) Bin Control Selector/Harvest
Pump Timer (S4 Dip Switch 7)."
Diagnosis: Check if Comp is running, HGV and WV still energized. Average harvest
cycle at factory setting is 2 to 3 minutes. How long does initial harvest last? 1.5 minutes
after initial harvest begins, touch Comp discharge line. Is it hot? If not, check refrigerant
pressures and Comp operation. If it is hot, touch the inlet line to the evaporator. Is it
hot? If it is hot and the freeze cycle is not starting, check the harvest timer adjustment
(S4 dip switch 1 & 2), the thermistor for open circuit, the discharge line temperature,
Comp efficiency, and if HGV is fully open. For a thermistor check, see "IV.E. Thermistor
Check." If 1-minute ll cycle starts after harvest, check that F/S is clean and operating
properly, see "IV.D. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." Make sure PM does not come
on last 50 seconds of harvest. For details, see "II.C.3.e) Bin Control Selector/Harvest
Pump Timer (S4 Dip Switch 7)."
51
Page 52
5) Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on. Comp and FMR remain energized, PM, LLV, and
FM energize. WV and HGV de-energize. The unit is held in freeze by a 5-minute
short cycle protection timer (CB will not accept a signal from F/S). After the
5-minute short cycle protection timer expires, CB turns freeze termination over to
F/S. Diagnosis: During the rst 5 minutes of freeze, conrm that the evaporator
temperature drops. After 5 minutes in freeze, disconnect black F/S connector from
CB BLACK K5 connector. If the evaporator is not cold, check to see if HGV is still
open or if TXV is not opening properly, if WV is continuing to ll the reservoir, if there
are improper unit pressures, an inoperative Comp, or an inoperative HM. The unit
should switch out of the freeze cycle ("G" CB - 15 second delay after F/S opens before
terminating the freeze cycle). If the unit switches out of freeze with F/S removed, but
would previously not switch out of freeze with F/S connected (long freeze - 3 beep
alarm), F/S may be sticking. To check and clean F/S, see "IV.D. Float Switch Check
and Cleaning." If the unit remains in freeze (longer than 15 seconds on "G" CB)
after disconnecting the black F/S connector, replace CB. See "V.P. Removal and
Replacement of Control Board."
Note: Normal freeze cycle will last 20 to 40 minutes depending on model and
conditions. Cycle times and pressures should follow performance data provided
in this manual. See "III.C. Performance Data."
6) Pump-Out Cycle – (10/20 second pump-out) – LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. LED 4 is
on when S4 dip switch 3 & 4 are set to 3 off and 4 on. Comp and FMR remain
energized, HGV energizes. WV energizes if S4 dip switch 3 off and 4 on. LLV and
FM de-energize. PM stops for 2 seconds, then reverses for 10/20 seconds depending
on pump-out timer S4 dip switch 3 & 4 setting. When the pump-out timer expires, the
pump-out is complete. The pump-out frequency control is factory set for every 10th
cycle, and 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 (S4 dip switch 5 & 6) can be set to have
a pump-out occur every cycle, or every 2, 5, or 10 cycles. For details, see "II.C.3.d)
Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6)."
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.
Diagnosis: If PM does not reverse, check to see if S4 and S5 dip switch settings are in
the factory default position. Check PM circuit and capacitor, check #5 pin (DBu wire) on
CB K1 ten-pin connector for voltage. If water does not pump out, check and clean the
check valve assembly and tubing.

8) Shutdown
a) Thermostatic Bin Control: Auxiliary Code T-0, U-0
When the unit is running hold ice in contact with the thermostatic bulb, TBC
switch opens within 10 seconds, shutting down the unit. TBC is factory set, and
generally no adjustment is required. However, adjustment may be needed in
some conditions, particularly at higher altitude locations. CAUTION! Do not
adjust S4 dip switch 7 out of the factory default position on this model.
This dip switch must be left in the factory default position or this unit
will not operate correctly. Diagnosis: See "IV.C.1. Thermostatic Bin Control
Check."

B. Control Board Check
Before replacing a control board 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 the control board is in alarm (beeping), press the "ALARM RESET"
button on the control board with power on. Once reset, the unit starts at
the 1-minute ll cycle. For audible alarm information, see "II.C.2.f) 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" control board) 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 "II.C.3.a) Default Dip Switch Settings."
2) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position. If the red "POWER OK" LED is on, the
control voltage is good. If the "POWER OK" LED is off, check the control transformer
secondary circuit. The control transformer secondary circuit includes the cleaning valve
interlock switch. Make sure the interlock switch is closed; otherwise, no control voltage
is supplied to the K2 connector. Transformer output is 10.5V at 115V primary input. If
the secondary circuit has proper voltage and the red LED is off, the control board is
bad and should be replaced. See "V.P. Removal and Replacement of Control Board."
If the secondary circuit does not have proper voltage, check the control transformer
primary circuit. Check for 115V at the control board K1 ten-pin connector. Check the
#10 pin (BR wire) to a white neutral wire for 115V. Always choose a white neutral wire
to establish a good neutral connection when checking voltages. For additional checks,
see "IV.F.1.[1] The icemaker will not start."
53
Page 54
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 resumes operation. If the LEDs do not light as
described above, the control board is bad and should be replaced. See "V.P. Removal
and Replacement of Control Board."
4) To verify voltage output from the control board to the components, slide the control
board K1 ten-pin connector out far enough to allow multimeter lead contact. With the
unit in the cycle to be tested, check output voltage from the corresponding pin on the
control board K1 ten-pin connector to ground. If output voltage is not found and the
appropriate LED is on, the control board is bad and should be replaced. See "V.P.
Removal and Replacement of Control Board."
C. Bin Control Check
1. Thermostatic Bin Control Check: Auxiliary Code T-0, U-0
To check the thermostatic bin control, follow the steps below.
CAUTION
When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), the thermostatic bin
control switch opens and shuts down the icemaker even if the ice storage bin
is empty. When the thermostat is set in the prohibited range, the icemaker
operates continuously even if the ice storage bin is lled with ice. Setting in the
prohibited range may result in severe damage to the icemaker.
The thermostatic bin control is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required.
However, adjustment may be needed in some conditions, particularly at higher altitude
locations.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Remove the front panel, then remove the control box cover.
3) Disconnect the thermostatic bin control wires from the thermostatic bin control switch.
4) Clear any ice away from the thermostatic bulb, then hold your hand around the
thermostatic bulb to warm it up.
5) Check for continuity across the thermostatic bin control switch. If closed, continue to
step 6. If open, adjust or replace the thermostatic bin control.
6) With the multimeter test leads still in place, hold ice on the thermostatic bulb to lower
the temperature. Within 10 seconds, the thermostatic bin control switch should open
(no continuity). If it remains closed, adjust or replace the thermostatic bin control.

2. Float Switch Cleaning
Depending on local water conditions, scale may build up on the oat switch. Scale on
the switch can cause the oat to stick. In this case, the oat switch should be cleaned.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Remove the front panel, then move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Remove the base cover, then disconnect one end of the pump tubing to drain the water
tank. See Fig. 2. After the water tank has drained, reconnect the pump tubing.
4) Disconnect the vent tube and the ush tube from the top of the oat switch, then
remove the oat switch assembly and remove the oat switch assembly and remove
the rubber boot from the bottom of the oat switch assembly. See Fig. 3.
5) Remove the retainer rod from the bottom of the oat switch housing, then remove the
oat. Be careful not to bend the retainer rod excessively when removing it.
6) Wipe down the oat switch housing, shaft, oat, and retainer rod with a mixture of
1 part of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki "Scale Away" or "LIME-A-WAY" (Economics
Laboratory, Inc.) and 25 parts of warm water. Clean the inside of the rubber boot and
hose with cleaning solution. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water.
7) Reassemble the oat switch assembly and replace it and the rubber boot in their
correct positions. Reconnect the vent tube and the ush tube.
8) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
9) Replace the front panel in its correct position.

E. Thermistor Check
To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Remove the front panel, then move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Remove the control box cover.
4) Remove the thermistor. See "V.L. Removal and Replacement of Thermistor."
5) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 or
3 minutes.
6) Remove the white thermistor connector from the control board WHITE K3 connector
and check the resistance between thermistor leads. Normal reading is within 4.7 to
6.2 kΩ. If outside the normal reading, replace the thermistor. If inside the normal
reading, continue to the next step.
7) Replace the thermistor in its correct position. See "V.L. Removal and Replacement of
Thermistor."
8) Reconnect the white thermistor connector to the control board WHITE K3 connector.
9) Replace the control box cover in its correct position, then turn on the power supply.
10) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
11) Once the harvest cycle starts, begin timing the harvest cycle.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components
WARNING
1. This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualied service
personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re.
2. Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply
before servicing.
3. CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews
are securely in place after the unit is serviced. Make sure that none have
fallen into the storage bin.
4. Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and storage bin are clean after
the unit is serviced. For cleaning procedures, see "VI. Cleaning and
Maintenance."
A. Service for Refrigerant Lines
WARNING
1. Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by
properly trained and EPA-certied service personnel.
2. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
3. 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.
CAUTION
1. Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 minutes when replacing or
servicing parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb
moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering
the system when replacing or servicing parts.
2. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened.
3. 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.
4. 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 unit is provided with refrigerant access valves. Using proper refrigerant
practices, recover the refrigerant from the access valves and store it in an approved
container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
68
Page 69
2. Brazing
WARNING
1. R-404A itself is not ammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up
to 176°F (80°C).
2. 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.
3. Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.
4. 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.
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. If
it is necessary to braze inside the evaporator case, use sandpaper to remove the
coating from the brazing connections before unbrazing the components.
CAUTION
1. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened.
2. 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.
3. 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 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.
69
Page 70
4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the gauge manifold.
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 air-cooled and water-cooled models, see the nameplate for the required
refrigerant charge. For remote air-cooled models, 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 recommended for charging an R-404A system. Invert the service
cylinder and place it on 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. Use a
throttling valve or liquid dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through
the low-side access valve with the unit running.
9) Close the gauge manifold valves and disconnect the gauge manifold hoses.
10) Cap the access valves to prevent a possible leak.
B. Removal and Replacement of Compressor
CAUTION
1. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened.
2. 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.
3. 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).
Note: When replacing a compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install the
new start capacitor and start relay supplied with the replacement compressor.
Due to the ability of the POE oil in the compressor to absorb moisture quickly,
the compressor must not be opened more than 15 minutes for replacement or
service. Do not mix lubricants of different compressors even if both are charged
with R-404A, except when they use the same lubricant.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Remove the panels.
3) Recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container.
4) Remove the terminal cover on the compressor and disconnect the compressor wiring.
On remote air-cooled models, disconnect the crankcase heater.
5) Remove the discharge, suction, and process pipes.
6) Remove the hold-down bolts, washers, and rubber grommets.
7) Remove the compressor. Unpack the new compressor package.

Page 71
8) Attach the rubber grommets of the prior compressor to the new compressor.
9) Place the compressor in position and secure it using the bolts and washers.
10) Remove the drier, then place the new drier in position.
11) Remove the plugs from the suction, discharge, and process pipes.
12) Braze all ttings while purging with nitrogen gas owing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
13) 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.
14) Evacuate the system and charge it with refrigerant. For air-cooled and water-cooled
models, see the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. For remote air-cooled
models, see the rating label inside the icemaker.
15) Connect the terminals and replace the terminal cover in its correct position. On remote
air-cooled models, connect the crankcase heater.
16) Replace the panels in their correct positions.
17) Turn on the power supply.
C. Removal and Replacement of Expansion Valve

expansion valve.
CAUTION
1. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened.
2. 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.
3. When brazing, protect the valve body and drier by using wet cloths to
prevent the valve body and drier from overheating. Do not allow the valve
body or drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Remove the panels.
