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.
1. Diagnostic Procedure
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.
Note: • When checking high voltage (115VAC), always choose a neutral (W) to establish
a good neutral connection.
• On 3-phase models, the neutral (W) is provided through MT. To conrm a good
neutral (W), check for 60VAC from neutral (W) to ground (GND). If 60VAC is
present, neutral (W) is good. If 60VAC is not present, check 208-230VAC main
power supply to MT. If 208-230VAC 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. Clear any ice from BC.
2) Check that the 115VAC 10A fuses in the KMS and SRK are good.
Conrm that the location meets installation requirements:
KMS-2000MLJ:
• 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 sides, rear, and top of the appliance for proper air
circulation and ease of maintenance and service.
• The appliance should not be located in a corrosive environment.
SRK-20J/3:
• A dry and well ventilated area with 24" (61 cm) clearance in both front and rear for
proper air circulation and ease of maintenance and/or service should they be required.
13
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 CB green "BC CLOSED" LED
turn on. If CB yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on (indicating a full bin), check CB K4 red
jumper. Move ice away from BC bulb.
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."
a) Power On Diagnosis: If CB red "POWER OK" LED is off, conrm 10A fuse on
both the KMS and the SRK are good. Conrm wire harness is connected and not
damaged. Next, check SRK switches. Check for 115VAC at both HPS wires (BR) to
neutral (W). If 115VAC is present on one and not the other, HPS is open. If HPS is
open, see "b) HPS Diagnosis" below. If HPS is closed, check for 115VAC at both
DLT wires (BR) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present on one and not the other, DLT
is open. If DLT is open, see "c) DLT Diagnosis" below. If DLT is closed, go to KMS
and check for 115VAC at BC wires (BR) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present on
one and not the other, BC is open. See "II.E. Bin Control Check." If BC is closed,
check for 115VAC at control switch #1 (BR) to neutral (W) then at control switch
#2(BK) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present on #1 (BR) and not on #2 (BK), replace
control switch. If 115VAC is present on control switch #2 (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 wire
connections and CT continuity. If open, replace CT.
b) HPS Diagnosis: Check that all shutoff valves (4 total) are open and 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: HGVs, strainer, or check valve.
Freeze Cycle: FMRs, TXV, HM, LLVs, strainer, check valve, drier, and damaged line
set or tting.
c) DLT Diagnosis: Check that the condenser coil is not clogged or restricted. Let
discharge line thermostat cool, if DLT does not close, replace DLT. Once closed,
restart appliance, once Comp starts, check voltage and amp draw.
See "5a),a) Comp Diagnosis" below.
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,
HGVs, and FMRs 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 WV 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.
14
5a) Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV and X11 relay continue. Comp,
FMRs, HGVs, 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 S5 dip switch 4). WV and X11 relay are energized during
harvest for a maximum of 6 min. or the length of harvest minus HPT setting (S4 dip
switch 6), whichever is shorter. See step 5b below.
a) Comp Diagnosis: Check that evaporator is warming. Ifnot, conrm that Comp
energizes. If not, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #1 (V) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not
present, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #10 (BR) to neutral (W). If115VAC is present
at #10 (BR) and not at #1 (V), replace CB. If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC
at MC solenoid (SRK). If 115VAC not present, check wire harness connections.
If115VAC is present, conrm contacts are closed. If not, replace MC. If MC contacts
are closed, check Comp start and run capacitors, start relay (single phase), and
Comp motor winding.
b) HGVs Diagnosis: If Comp is energized and evaporator is not warming, check
that HGVs energizes and open. Check for 115VAC at CB K1 #2 (P) to neutral (W).
If115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC at
HGVs coil (KMS and SRK) and check HGVs coils continuity. Replace as needed.
c) LLVs Diagnosis: Conrm that both LLVs are de-energized (KMS and SRK) and
closed (not bypassing). Ifenergized, replace CB. If de-energized and bypassing,
replace LLVs (KMS and SRK).
5b) Harvest Pump Timer – LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. When the thermistor reaches
48°F (9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to
the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2 and S5 dip switch 4). When WV de-energizes,
LED 4 turns off, X11 relay de-energizes and LED 3 turns on. PM and X12 relay energize.
Comp, FMRs, HGVs, and X10 relay 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 115VAC is not
present, and WV continues, check WV diaphragm for leaking by. Clean or replace.
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 X12 relay terminal #8 (P) and PM is not energized,
check for 115VAC at X12 relay terminal #4 (W/R) to neutral (W) and terminal #6 (DBU)
to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present on terminal #6(DBU) and not on terminal #4 (W/R),
replace X12relay. If 115VAC is present on X12relay terminal #4(W/R). If 115VAC is
present between X12 relay terminal #4 (W/R) and neutral (W), check PM capacitor and
motor winding continuity.
15
5c) Initial Harvest Cycle Termination Diagnosis: When the thermistor reaches 48°F
(9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to
the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2 and S5 dip switch 4). Check discharge line
temperature. For a thermistor check, see "II.G.Thermistor Check." If 1-min. ll cycle
starts after harvest timer terminates, check that FS is clean and operating properly, see
"II.F. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." If FS is closed, CB proceeds to the next cycle.
Ifnot, replace CB.
Note: The minimum total time allowed by CB for a complete harvest cycle is based on
S5 dip switch 4. Maximum harvest time allowed is 20 min.
NOTICE! S4 dip switch 7 must remain on. Otherwise, PM will not energize during
the last seconds of harvest.
6) Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on. Comp, FMRs, and PM continue. LLVs energize.
HGVs, X10 and X12 relays 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 HPT 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) (5.8 kΩ) for 10 sec. then, energizes for the remainder
of the freeze cycle.
a) Freeze Cycle Diagnosis: Conrm Comp, FMRs, and PM continue. Conrm that
LLVs energize. Next, conrm HGVs, X10 and X12 relays de-energize. During the
rst 5 min. of freeze, conrm evaporator is cooling. If not, conrm WV de-energized
(not leaking by), HGVs de-energized (not bypassing), LLVs energizes, TXV and HM
operate correctly, Comp is efficient, and refrigerant charge is correct.
See "VIII.A. Specication and Performance Data Sheets."
b) Comp and FMRs Diagnosis: If Comp and FMRs de-energize once freeze begins,
check that appliance has not shut off on HPS or DLT ("POWER OK" LED off).
If so, check "3)b) HPS Diagnosis" or "3)c) DLT Diagnosis" above. If CB "POWER
OK" LED is on (KMS), check for 115VAC at CB K1 #9 (V) to neutral (W). If115VAC
is not present and LED 1 is on, replace CB. If 115VAC is present, check for 115VAC
at MC coil (SRK). If 115VAC is not present, check wire harness connections. Next,
check for 115VAC at MC coil. If 115VAC is present, check MC coil and contacts
continuity. Replace as needed. If MC is okay, check Comp start relay and start and
run capacitors (single phase). Next, check Comp motor winding continuity. If Comp is
energized but evaporator is not cooling, check for an inefficient Comp.
See "VIII.A. Specication and Performance Data Sheets."
FMRs Diagnosis: If Comp is energized but FMRs are not, check for 115VAC at
MC terminal "NO" black (BK) wire to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, and
MC is energized replace MC. If 115VAC is present, check FMRs capacitors, motor
windings, and fan blades for binding.
16
c) WV and HGVs 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 HGVs (KMS and SRK) did
not de-energize at the end of harvest, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #2 (P) to neutral
(W). If 115VAC is present 50 sec. after PM energizes, replace CB. If 115VAC is not
present, replace HGV(s) (bypassing).
d) PM Diagnosis: Conrm water is owing over evaporator from PM and not WV.
IfPM de-energizes once freeze begins (except for anti-slush), 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 (W/R) to
neutral (W). If115VAC is present at CB K1 #4 (R) and not at control switch #5 (W/R),
check control switch continuity between #5 (W/R) and #4 (R). Replace as needed.
If115VAC is present at control switch #5 (W/R) to neutral (W), check PM capacitor
and motor winding continuity.
e) LLVs Diagnosis: If LLVs 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, 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) 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."
h) Short Freeze Cycle Diagnosis: Conrm water tank lls and overows during 1 min.
ll and harvest cycles. If not, check water supply lters, shut-off valve, WV screen.
Ifwater tank empties before 5 min. timer terminates and freeze cycle is short, check
that DV is not leaking by or energized (water owing through DV). If DV is leaking by,
remove and clean DV, replace as needed. If water tank is full, see "II.F. Float Switch
Check and Cleaning." for erratic operating FS.

Comp and FMRs continue, HGVs energize.
Note: If S4 dip switch 3 & 4 are set to 3 off and 4 on, LED 4 turns on and WV and X11
relay energize, energizing X10 relay. NOTICE!S4dip switch 3 & 4 must not be set
to 3 off and 4 on. Otherwise, LED 4 turns on energizing WV and X11 relay. X11
relay energizes X10 relay. Once X10 relay energizes, X12 relay cannot energize.
Preventing DV from energizing.
LLVs de-energize. PM stops for 2 sec., then restarts for 10/20 sec. depending on
pump-out timer (S4dip switch 3 & 4) setting. When the pump-out timer terminates,
pump-out is complete. The pump-out frequency control (S4 dip switch 5) is factory set,
and generally no adjustment is required. However, the pump-out frequency control can
be set to have a pump-out occur every 10 cycles or every cycle. For details, see "III.C.4.
Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5)."
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 restarts, DV energizes, and water is owing
down the drain through DV.
b) CB Diagnosis: Conrm LLVs de-energize. If LLVs are energized with LEDs 1, 3,
and 2 on, replace CB. If PM does not stop and restart 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).
If115VAC is not present, replace CB. If115VAC is present at CB K1 #5 (DBU) and
X12 relay is not energized, continue to "c) X12 Relay Diagnosis:" below. If X12
relay is energized 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 and DV are not energized, check for 115VAC at X12 relay #8 (P) to
neutral (W). If115VAC is not present, check wiring connections from CB K1 #5 (DBU)
to X12 relay #6 (DBU), then at X12 relay #4 (W/R). If 115VAC is present at X12 relay
#6 (DBU) and not at X12 relay #4 (W/R), conrm X12 relay is de-energized, if X12
relay is de-energized, replace X12 relay (sticking contacts). If 115VAC is present
at X12 relay #5 (DBU) to neutral (W), and X12 is de-energized, check relay coil
continuity. Replace as needed.
18
d) PM Diagnosis: Check for 115VAC at X12 relay #6 (DBU) to neutral(W). If 115VAC
is not present, see "b) CB Diagnosis" above. Next, check for 115VAC at X12 relay
#4(W/R) 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 (DBU) and not at X12 relay
#4(W/R), replace X12 relay. If 115VAC is present at X12 relay #4 (W/R) 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 (DBU) to neutral (W) and at
X12relay #3 (GY) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present at X12 relay #5 (DBU),
see "b) CB Diagnosis:" above. If 115VAC is present at X12 relay #5 (DBU) 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 (DBU) 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.
8) Normal Harvest Cycle – Same as the initial harvest cycle. Return to step 5a) above.
Note: Appliance continues to cycle until BC is satised or power is switched off. The
appliance always restarts at the 1-min. ll cycle

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.
2a) 10-Min. Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist) with WV: CB "POWER OK" LED
blinking. CB LEDs 1, 4, 3, and 2 are on and Comp, FMRs, HGVs, PM, and WV

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, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and S5 dip
switch 1 through 5 are in the factory default position. S4 dip switch 1, 2, and 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
#2 (BK) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is present at control switch terminal #1 (BR) and not
at control switch terminal #2 (BK), replace control switch. If 115VAC is present at control
switch terminal #2 (BK), 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.

H. Switches
Two control switches are used to control operation. These switches are referred to as the
"control switch" and the "service switch" and are located on the control box.
1. Control Switch
The control switch has three positions: "OFF" for power off, "ICE" for icemaking, and
"SERVICE" to activate the service switch. WARNING! Moving control switch to "OFF"
position does not de-energize all components.
2. Service Switch
When the control switch is in the "SERVICE" position, the control switch supplies power
to the service switch and water pump. The machine is in service mode. The service
switch has three positions: "DRAIN", "CIRCULATE", and "WASH." See the information
below for details of each function.
Note:
1. When the service switch is activated, power is supplied to the water pump in all
three positions.
2. When the control switch is in the "OFF" position or in the "ICE" position, the
service switch has no power and can be left in any position.
a) DRAIN
This appliance utilizes a pump-out drain system. When the service switch is active and
placed in the "DRAIN" position, power is supplied to the drain valve.
b) CIRCULATE
When the service switch is active and placed in the "CIRCULATE" position, power is
supplied to the pump only. This operation can be used to circulate cleaner for extended
periods of time over the outside surface of the evaporator.
c) WASH
This appliance utilizes a solenoid operated wash (bypass) valve. When the service switch
is active and placed in the "WASH" position, power is supplied to the water pump and the
wash valve. This operation is used to circulate cleaner and sanitizer over both the inside
and outside of the evaporator.

2. Harvest Timer (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. 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 (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/Harvest Time
During Pump-Out (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 Timer/Harvest Time During Pump-Out (S4 dip switch 3 & 4)
NOTICE
On models with harvest pump timer, do not adjust 3 off and 4 on. Pump does not
run in pump-out rotation in this setting.
When a pump-out is called for, the pump motor stops for 2 sec. After 2 sec. the drain
valve and pump motor energize. Water is removed from the bottom of the water tank
and sent down the drain. The pump-out drains the water tank for the time determined by
the pump-out timer. The pump-out timer also acts in place of the harvest timer during
cycles with a pump-out. The pump-out timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment
is required. However, where water quality is bad and the icemaker needs a longer
pump-out time, the pump-out timer can be adjusted. The pump-out timer control can be
set to pump-out for 10 or 20 sec.

4. Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5)
The pump-out frequency control is factory set to drain the water tank every 10 cycles.
Generally no adjustment is required. However, where water quality is bad and the
icemaker needs a pump-out more often, the pump-out frequency can be adjusted. The
pump-out frequency control can be set to have a pump-out occur every cycle, or every
10 cycles.
The rst pump-out is dependent on S4 dip switch 5. See the table below.
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 duration) is only active when S4 dip switch 7 is in
the "ON" position. In the factory default position, the harvest pump time (harvest assist
duration) 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 duration) 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
When S4 dip switch 7 is in the on position, freeze-time correction enabled.

The freeze timer setting determines the maximum allowed freeze time to prevent possible
freeze-up issues. Upon termination of the freeze timer, the control board initiates the
harvest cycle or pump-out cycle. After 2 consecutive freeze timer terminations, the
control board shuts down the icemaker. In this case, see "II.I.3. Low Ice Production"
for possible solutions. The freeze timer is factory set and no adjustment is required.

This dip switch setting provides anti-slush control during the freeze cycle. When the
evaporator temperature reaches 36°F (2.2°C) the control board reads a 5.8 kΩ signal
from the thermistor and de-energizes the water pump for 10 sec. to melt ice slush and
prevent ice slush from blocking the water supply tubing, causing irregular freeze patterns.

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.
• Before servicing the KMS or SRK: Move the KMS control switch to the "OFF"
position and turn off the power supply to the SRK condensing unit. Place the KMS
disconnect (if applicable) 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 condensing unit and icemaker are provided with refrigerant shutoff valves. Using
proper refrigerant practices, recover the refrigerant. Recovery via the condensing unit's
refrigerant shutoff valves is recommended. Store the refrigerant in an approved container.
Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
44
2. Brazing
WARNING
• R-404A itself is not ammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to
176°F (80°C).
• R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high
temperatures (open ames), R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrouoric
acid and carbonyl uoride both of which are hazardous.
• Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.
1) Braze all ttings while purging with nitrogen gas owing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
Note: Because the pipes in the evaporator case are specially coated to resist corrosion,
it is important to make connections outside the evaporator case when possible.
Ifit is necessary to braze inside the evaporator case, use sandpaper to remove
the coating from the brazing connections before unbrazing the components.
NOTICE
• Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
• Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.
Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant
ow.
• When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from
overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).
2) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of
refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the
pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). Do not use R-404A as a mixture with
pressurized air for leak testing.
3. Evacuation and Recharge (R-404A)
The condensing unit and icemaker are provided with refrigerant shutoff valves.
Evacuation and recharge via the condensing unit's refrigerant shutoff valves is
recommended.
1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure to connect the charging hoses to both
high and low-side refrigerant shutoff 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, then open the high and
low-side refrigerant shutoff valves. Never allow the oil in the vacuum pump to ow
backwards.
45
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a 29.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends
on pump capacity.
4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the gauge manifold.
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 nameplate on the condensing unit
or the rating label inside the icemaker. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or
reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard 700 (latest edition) be used.
6) A liquid charge is required when charging an R-404A system (to prevent fractionation).
Place the service cylinder on the scales; if the service cylinder is not equipped with
a dip tube, invert the service cylinder, then place it on the scales. Open the high-side
valve on the gauge manifold.
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.
8) If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the low-side.
NOTICE!To prevent compressor damage, use a throttling valve or liquid
dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through the low-side
shutoff valve with the icemaker running.
9) Close the high and low-side shutoff valves. Close the high and low-side gauge manifold
valves, then disconnect the gauge manifold hoses.
10) Cap the shutoff valves to prevent a possible leak.
