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 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, 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.
• The neutral (W) is provided through MT. To conrm 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 MT.
If208-230VAC is present, check MT continuity.
• When checking voltage from the CB K1 connector (10 pin connector), pull CB
K1connector 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 BC is closed and the 115VAC 10A fuse is good.
16

1. Operation 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 BC. Move ice away from
BC actuator paddle. If yellow "BC OPEN" LED stays on, see "II.E. Bin Control 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.D.Control Board Check."
• Conrm 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.E. Bin Control Check."
a) Power On Diagnosis: If CB red "POWER OK" LED is off, conrm 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). If115VAC is present at HPS
(P) and not at HPS (BK), HPS is open. See HPS Diagnosis below. If115VAC is
present at HPS (BK), check for 10.5VAC at CB K2#1 red wire to CB K2 #2 red wire.
If10.5VAC is not present, check that the cleaning valve interlock switch is closed.
Next, check CT continuity. If open, replace CT.
b) HPS Diagnosis: Conrm condenser coil is not clogged or restricted. Let refrigeration
circuit pressures equalize. If HPS does not reset and pressures are equalized,
replace HPS. Ifpressures 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, WRV, strainer, check valve, drier, damaged
line set or tting, and fan blade for binding.
Conrm that the location meets installation requirements. See the appliance's
instruction manual for details.
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 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 and X11 relay continue. Comp,
FMR, HGV, and X10 relay energize. CBmonitors 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 S5dip switch 4). WV and X11 relay are energized
during harvest for a maximum of 6 min. or the length of harvest minus HPT setting
(S4dip 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 #1 (V) or #9 (V) to neutral (W).
If115VAC is not present, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #7 (BR) or #10 (BR) to neutral
(W). If115VAC is present at #7 (BR) or #10 (BR) and not at #1 (V) or #9 (V), replace
CB. If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC at CR solenoid. If 115VAC 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 and LED 2 is on, replace CB. If 115VAC is present, check
for 115VAC at HGV coil and check HGV coil continuity. Replace as needed.
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 model)."
18
Page 19
5b) Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist) – 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 and S5 dip switch4).
WhenWV de-energizes, LED 4 turns off, X11 relay de-energizes and LED 3turns on.
PM energizes. Comp, FMR, HGV, and X10relay 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 #5(DBU). If115VAC is not
present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present and PM is not energized, check for 115VAC
at X10relay terminal #8 (Y) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, check for 115VAC
at X10 relay terminal #4 (P) to neutral (W) and X10 relay terminal #6 (Y) to neutral (W).
If 115VAC is present on terminal #4(P) and not on terminal #6 (Y), replace X10 relay.
If 115VAC is present on X10 relay terminal #8 (Y) and PM is not energized, check for
115VAC at X10 relay terminal #3 (R) to neutral (W) and terminal #5 (DBU) to neutral
(W). If 115VAC is present on terminal #5(DBU) and not on terminal #3 (R), replace
X10relay. If 115VAC is present on X10relay terminal #3 (R), check control switch
contact continuity between terminals #4(R) and #5(Y). Ifcontacts are open, replace
control switch. If contacts are closed and 115VAC is present between control switch
terminal #5(Y) 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 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 20min.
NOTICE! S4 dip switch 7 must remain on. Otherwise, PM will not energize during
the last seconds of harvest.
19
Page 20
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. short cycle protection timer terminates and FS opens,
freeze cycle terminates.
Note: PM power supply switches from CBK1 #5(DBU) in harvest to K1 #4 (R) 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) (5.8kΩ) 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 and X10 relay
de-energize. 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 (if not connected to CB K1 connector pin #9) energize, TXV and HM
operate correctly, WRV opens, Comp is efficient, and refrigerant charge is correct.
See"VIII.A. Specication and Performance Data."
b) Comp, FM, and FMR Diagnosis: If Comp, FM, 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.
Comp: 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."
FM: If Comp is energized but FM is not, check capacitor, motor winding, and fan
blade for binding.
FMR: 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.
If115VAC is not present, replace WV (bypassing). If HGV did not close at the end of
harvest, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #2 (P) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present and
LED 3 is off, replace CB. If 115VAC is not present, replace HGV (bypassing).
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 for 115VAC at control switch #5 (Y) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present at CB
K1 #4 (R) and not at control switch #5 (Y), check control switch continuity between
#5 (Y) and #4 (R). Replace as needed. If 115VAC is present at control switch #5 (Y)
to neutral (W), check PM capacitor and motor winding continuity.
20
Page 21
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.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 model)."
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 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 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.F. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." for erratic FS.

switch 3 & 4 must not be set to 3 off and 4 on. Otherwise, LED 4 turns on
energizing WV, X11, and X10 relay. Once X10 relay energizes, X12 relay, PM, and
DV cannot energize. PM stops for 2 sec., then X12 relay, PM, and DV energize for
10/20 sec. depending on pump-out timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) setting. When 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)."
a) 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 CB
LEDs 1, 3, and 2are on, PM stops, then re-starts, DV energizes, and water is owing
down the drain through DV.
b) CB Diagnosis: Conrm FM and LLV (if applicable) de-energize. If FM or LLV
(ifapplicable) is energized with LEDs 1, 3, and 2 on, replace CB. If PM does not
stop and re-start and DV does not energize, check that CB LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on.
Ifnot, replace CB. IfLEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on and X12 relay is not energized, check
for 115VAC at CB K1 #5 (DBU) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB.
If115VAC is present at CB K1 #5 (DBU) and X12 relay is not energized, continue to
"c) X12 Relay, PM, and DV Diagnosis:" below. If X12 relay is energized and PM and
DV are not energized, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #2 (P) to neutral (W). If LED 2 is
on and 115VAC is not present at CB K1 #2 (P), replace CB.
c) X12 Relay Diagnosis: If 115VAC is present at CB K1 #5 (DBU) and CB K1 #2
(P) and X12 relay, PM, and DV are not energized, check for 115VAC at X12 relay
#8 (DBU) to neutral (W). If115VAC is not present, check wiring connections from
CB K1 #5 (DBU) to X10 relay #5 (DBU), then at X10 relay #1 (DBU). If 115VAC is
present at X10 relay #5 (DBU) and not at X10 relay #1 (DBU), conrm X10 relay is
de-energized, if X10 relay is de-energized, replace X10 relay (sticking contacts). If
115VAC is present at X12 relay #8 (DBU) to neutral (W), and X12 is de-enrgized,
check relay coil continuity. Replace as needed.

Page 23
d) PM Diagnosis: Check for 115VAC at X12 relay #6 (P) to neutral(W). If 115VAC is not
present, see "b) CB Diagnosis" above. Next, check for 115VAC at X12 relay #4(Y)
to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, conrm X12 relay is energized. If X12 relay
is de-energized, see "c) X12 Relay Diagnosis:" above. If X12 relay is energized
and 115VAC is present at X12 relay #6 (P) and not at X12 relay #4 (Y), replace X12
relay. If 115VAC is present at X12 relay #4 (Y) and PM is de-energized, check PM
capacitor, motor winding, wiring connections, and impeller for binding.
e) DV Diagnosis: Check for 115VAC at X12 relay #5 (P) to neutral (W) and at X12relay
#3 (GY) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present at X12 relay #5 (P), see "b) CB Diagnosis:" above. If 115VAC is present at X12 relay #5 (P) and not at X12 relay
#3(GY), conrm X12 relay is energized. If X12 relay is de-energized,
see "c) X12 Relay Diagnosis:" above. If X12 relay is energized and 115VAC
is present at X12 relay #5 (P) and not at X12 relay #3 (GY), replace X12 relay.
If115VAC is present at X12 #3 (GY) and DV is de-energized, check DV coil
continuity, make sure the drain line is not clogged and that DV is clean and operating
properly.

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 minimum and maximum freeze times have exceeded differential
parameters. Freeze-time correction timer and count starts at the beginning of the 2nd
freeze cycle after startup from power off condition. Freeze-time correction timer and count
continues and retains its freeze-time correction timer and count during a BC off cycle
and resumes its freeze-time correction timer and count on the 2nd freeze cycle after BC
restart. If freeze-time differential is exceeded (see table below), freeze-time correction
cycle starts and 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.
1) Freeze Time Differential Initiation: CB starts monitoring freeze times on the second
freeze time. After 3freeze cycles (4th total), CBbegins to compare minimum and
maximum freeze time cycles. Every freeze cycle time after the rst freeze cycle
time is added to the freeze time list. Minimum and maximum freeze time differential
comparisons begin on the third cycle and are monitored up to 10cycles. On the 11th
cycle the rst freeze cycle time is dropped to maintain the 10 maximum number of
cycles.
Example: After 8 cycles (excluding rst cycle), if the differential between the
shortestcycle (minimum) and the longest cycle (maximum) is equal to or greater than
427 sec. a freeze-time correction cycle is initiated:

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,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 (10.5VAC), check CT primary
circuit. Check for 115VAC at control switch terminal #1 (BR) and control switch terminal
#3 (P) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present at control switch terminal #1 (BR) and not
at control switch terminal #3 (P), replace control switch. If 115VAC is present at control
switch terminal #3 (P), check for 115VAC at HPS (BK) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is
not present, see "B.1. or 2. 3)b) HPS Diagnosis." If 115VAC is present check CT coil
continuity. Replace as needed. For additional checks, see "II.I.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.
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) Conrm BC communication and shutdown sequence: Move the control switch to the
"ICE" position. Once the ll cycle starts press and hold the BC actuator paddle. CB
shuts down the appliance after 15 sec.. If not, conrm BC status. See "II.E. Bin Control
Check." If BC checks ok, replace CB.
A lever-actuated proximity switch is used to control the ice level in the storage bin.
No adjustment is required.
To check BC, 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, then clear any ice away from
BC.
4) Check BC wire harness connections. See Fig. 1.

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)
NOTICE
Do not adjust 3 off and 4 on. Pump motor does not run in pump-out rotation in this
setting.
When a pump-out is called for, the pump motor stops for 2 sec., then energizes in the
reverse direction, taking water from the bottom of the water 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 time can be set to pump-out for 10or 20
sec. During pump-out cycles minimum harvest time is based on times given in the table
below.

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, X11 and X10 relays
energize. A latching circuit is created through the X11 and X10 relays. For further
details, see "VIII.B. Wiring Diagram." In the factory default position, 50 sec. before
harvest termination, LED 4 turns off, inlet water valve and X11 relay de-energize. X10
relay remains energized through the latching circuit. Next, LED 3 turns on and control
board K1connector pin #5 (DBU wire) 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.
b) Freeze-Time Correction

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.
46
Page 47
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. If
it 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.
47
Page 48
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 the required refrigerant charge, see the rating label inside the icemaker.
Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets
AHRI 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.

• Secure the thermistor with the holder, then insulate it.
• Be very careful to prevent damage to the leads.
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. 5. 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
proper range, verify the refrigerant charge.

VI. Preparing the Icemaker for Periods of Non-Use
NOTICE
• When storing the icemaker for an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures,
follow the instructions below to prevent damage.
• To prevent damage to the water pump seal, do not leave the control switch in the
"WASH" position for extended periods when the water tank is empty.
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions, it is
sufficient to move the control switch to the "OFF" position. When storing the icemaker for
an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove the water from the icemaker water supply line:
1) Turn off the power supply, then remove the front panel.
2) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Close the icemaker water supply line shut-off valve, then open the icemaker water
supply line drain valve.
4) Allow the line to drain by gravity.
5) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the icemaker water supply line
drain valve.
6) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
7) Replace the front panel in its correct position, then turn on the power supply.
8) Blow the icemaker water supply line out using the compressed air or carbon dioxide
supply.
9) Close the icemaker water supply line drain valve.
2. Drain the water tank:
1) Turn off the power supply, then remove the front panel.
2) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Remove the front insulation panel. Remove splash guard, cube guide B, then remove
cube guide A. Remove the overow cap, overow pipe, and water shield. See Fig. 3.
4) Remove the drain plug.
5) Remove all ice from the dispenser unit/ice storage bin. Clean the dispenser unit/ice
storage bin using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
6) Replace the drain plug, water shield, overow pipe, overow cap, cube guide A, cube
guide B, splash guard, and front insulation panel in their correct positions. Be careful
not to cross thread the drain plug or overow pipe.
7) Replace the front panel in its correct position.

3. On water-cooled models, remove the water from the water-cooled condenser:
1) Make sure the power supply is off, then remove the front panel and right side panel.
2) Close the condenser water supply line shut-off valve. If connected to a closed loop
system, also close the condenser return line shut-off valve.
3) Open the condenser water supply line drain valve. If connected to a closed loop system,
also open the condenser return line drain valve.
4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water supply line
drain valve.
5) Open the water regulating valve by using a screwdriver to pry up on the spring retainer
underneath the spring. While holding the valve open, blow out the condenser using the
compressed air or carbon dioxide supply until water stops coming out.
6) Close the drain valve(s).
7) Replace the right side panel and front panel in their correct positions.
