B. Sequence of Operation

The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. This unit utilizes a control board to switch the components on and off as needed. When power is supplied, the power switch is in the "ON" position, and the control switch is in the "ICE" position, CB "POWER OK" LED comes on.

1. Sequence Cycles and Shutdown

a) Fill Cycle
"WTRIN" LED is on. WV energizes and ll cycle begins. UF/S closes and WV de-energizes. 30-second GM delay timer starts. If UF/S remains open during ll cycle longer than 90 seconds, WV remains energized, and a 1-beep alarm sounds.
b) Ice Purge Cycle
"GM" LED is on. 30-second GM delay timer terminates. GMR (X on CB), GM, GMPR, FM/FMR energize. 5-minute ice purge timer starts; GM runs for 5 minutes to clear any ice from the evaporator. To bypass, press the "SERVICE" button on the control board after GM starts. WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Care should be taken not to
touch live terminals.
Note: UF/S must be closed before GMR will energize.
c) Freeze Cycle
"COMP" and "GM" LEDs are on. 5-minute ice purge timer terminates. GMR (X on CB), GM, GMPR, and FM/FMR remain energized, CR (X1 on CB) and Comp energize (LLV and SLV energize on MLH models). As water in the evaporator cools, ice starts forming within 4 to 6 minutes. This time frame depends on the inlet water and ambient temperature conditions. UF/S and LF/S operate WV as needed to continue the ice making process. This continues until BC shuts down the icemaker or power is turned off to the unit.
d) Drain Cycle
(1) 1-in-1 Drain Cycle: DV energizes once every hour when the 1-in-1 drain cycle
is activated (S1 dip switch 4 is in the "OFF" position (factory default position)). GMR (X on CB), GM, GMPR, FM/FMR, CR (X1 on CB), and Comp continue. DV energizes for  seconds every hour. This setting is recommended for optimum icemaker performance. The 1-in-1 drain cycle allows any sediment to drain from the evaporator without interrupting the icemaking process.
(2) 1-in-12 Drain Cycle (optional): DV energizes once every 1 hours when the 1-in-1
drain cycle is activated (S1 dip switch 4 is in the on position (optional)). 1 hour drain cycle timer terminates, CR (X1 on CB) and Comp de-energize (LLV and SLV de-energize on MLH model), GMR (X on CB), GM, GMPR, and FM/FMR continue. The 5-minute ice purge timer begins. When the 5-minute ice purge timer terminates, GMR (X on CB), GM, GMPR, and FM/FMR de-energize. 10-minute DT begins, DV energizes. After 10-minute DT terminates, 1 hour drain cycle timer starts.

(3) Manual Drain: Manual drain is used when servicing evaporator components and
cleaning and sanitizing the unit. When the unit is making ice and the control switch is moved to the "DRAIN" position, there is a 3-second delay, then CR (X1 on CB) and Comp (LLV and SLV on MLH models) de-energize and the 5-minute ice purge timer begins. When the 5-minute ice purge timer terminates, GMR (X on CB), GM, GMPR, and FM/FMR de-energize. DV energizes to drain the evaporator and reservoir. To avoid the 5-minute shutdown delay, turn off the power supply, then move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position. Turn on the power supply. DV energizes to drain the evaporator and reservoir. DV de-energizes when the control switch is moved to the "ICE" position.
e) Shutdown Cycle
(1) Infrared Sensor: When power is supplied to the icemaker, the green LED on IS
turns on. The green LED remains on constantly. As ice lls the storage bin to the level of activating IS, IS yellow LED turns on (ashing or steady). The yellow LED ashes when ice is at the outer limit of its range and turns steady as ice nears. After the yellow LED turns on (ashing or steady), IS shutdown delay timer (S1 dip switch 1, , & 3) begins. For a typical dispenser unit application, a 100-second shutdown delay is recommended. When used with a standard Hoshizaki storage bin, any shutdown delay setting is acceptable. See "II.C.4.b) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 1, , & 3)." Once IS shutdown delay timer terminates, CR (X1 on CB) and Comp (LLV and SLV on MLH models) de-energize and the 5-minute ice purge timer begins. When the 5-minute ice purge timer terminates, GMR (X on CB), GM, GMPR, and FM/FMR de-energize. See "II.D. Bin Control."
Note: If IS fails to shutdown the icemaker, MBC opens, CB shuts down the icemaker
and a 9-beep alarm sounds.
(2) Mechanical Bin Control: CB shuts down the entire unit within 10 seconds when
MBC opens (actuator paddle engaged), and sounds a 9-beep alarm. For further details, see "II.C.4.f) Mechanical Bin Control Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 8)" and "II.D. Bin Control."

C. Control Board

• A Hoshizaki exclusive control board is employed in FD-1001MAH(-C), FD-1001MWH(-C), FD-1001MRH(-C), and FD-1001MLH(-C) Modular Flakers.
• All models are pre-tested and factory set.
CAUTION
1. The control board is fragile; handle very carefully.
. 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 icemaker 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 to prevent damage to the control board.
4. Do not change wiring and connections. Never misconnect terminals.
5. Do not short out power supply to test for voltage.
6. Always replace the whole control board if it goes bad.
The control board provides the following safeguards:
• High and low voltage protection.
• Provides component protection during low water supply.
• Purges remaining ice in the evaporator.
• Provides short cycle protection for the compressor.

2. Features

a) Low Water Safety
When the inlet water valve opens during ll and rell, a 90-second low water safety timer starts. Once the upper oat switch closes the 90-second low water safety timer terminates. If the upper oat switch remains open longer than 90 seconds, a 1-beep alarm sounds. The water valve and 1-beep alarm continue until the upper oat switch closes.
b) Ice Purge Cycle Bypass
To speed up the diagnostic process, the 5-minute ice purge cycle may be bypassed by pressing the "SERVICE" button on the control board after the gear motor starts.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Care should be taken not to touch live terminals.
c) Freeze Timer
A 30-minute freeze timer starts once the upper oat switch closes. Should the upper oat switch fail to close again before the 30-minute timer terminates, the control board shuts down the icemaker and sounds a 5-beep alarm every 5 seconds. Also, when the lower oat switch is open and the upper oat switch is closed, the control board sounds a 5-beep alarm every 5 seconds. Both alarms require a manual reset. For further details, see "II.C.3.d) Feeze Timer (5-beep alarm)."
d) Drain Frequency
(1) 1-in-1 Drain Cycle: The 1-hour drain timer terminates, then the drain valve energizes
for  seconds. This occurs once every hour when the 1-in-1 drain cycle is activated (S1 dip switch 4 in the "OFF" position (factory default)). This setting is recommended for optimum icemaker performance. The 1-in-1 drain cycle allows for maximum drainage of any sediment from the evaporator without interrupting the icemaking process.
(2) 1-in-12 Drain Cycle (optional): The 1-hour drain timer terminates, then the
icemaker cycles down and the drain valve energizes for 10 minutes. This occurs once every 1 hours when the 1-in-1 drain cycle is activated (S1 dip switch 4 in the "ON" position (optional)). For further details, see "II.B.1.d) Drain Cycle."
e) Bin Control Shutdown Delay
(1) Infrared Sensor: The ice level at shutoff may need to be adjusted depending on the
dispenser agitation or dispense method. For a typical dispenser unit application, a 100-second shutdown delay is recommended. Increasing the shutdown delay setting allows for a higher level of ice in the bin before the icemaker shuts down. When used with a standard Hoshizaki storage bin, any shutdown delay setting is acceptable. For further details, see "II.C.4.b) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 1, , and
3)."
(2) Mechanical Bin Control: The control board shuts down the entire unit within
10 seconds when the mechanical bin control proximity switch opens (actuator paddle engaged). For further details, see "II.C.4.f) Mechanical Bin Control Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 8)."

f) High Voltage and Low Voltage Cut-outs
The maximum and minimum allowable supply voltages of this icemaker are limited by the high voltage (147Vac±5% or more) and low voltage (9Vac±5% or less) cut-outs.
When high voltage (147Vac±5% or more) is present, the icemaker automatically stops and the control board signals with a 7-beep alarm every 3 seconds.
When low voltage (9Vac±5% or less) is present, the icemaker automatically stops and the control board signals with a 6-beep alarm every 3 seconds.
When the proper supply voltage is resumed, the icemaker automatically starts running again.
g) LED Lights and Alarm Safeties Chart

3. Alarm Safeties

a) Low Water Safety (1-beep alarm)
(1) Fill Cycle: If upper oat switch remains open 90 seconds after the inlet water valve
has energized, the control board sounds a 1-beep alarm every 5 seconds. The alarm resets and the icemaker automatically starts running again once water is restored or the oat switch is cleaned or replaced.
(2) Freeze Cycle/Rell: If upper oat switch remains open 90 seconds after the inlet
water valve energizes, the compressor de-energizes and the control board sounds a 1-beep alarm every 5 seconds. The gear motor continues for another 90 seconds to clear the ice from the evaporator. The inlet water valve and 1-beep alarm continue until the upper oat switch closes. The alarm resets and the icemaker automatically starts running again when the upper oat switch closes.
b) Control Switch in the "DRAIN" Position (2-beep alarm)
When the control switch is left in the "DRAIN" position longer than 15 minutes, the control board sounds a -beep alarm every 5 seconds. When the control switch is moved to the "ICE" position, the alarm resets and the icemaker starts running again.
c) High Pressure Switch (3 & 4-beep alarms)
(1) 3-beep alarm: For the rst and second high pressure switch activation in 1 hour,
the icemaker shuts down and the control board sounds a 3-beep alarm every 5 seconds. When the high pressure switch closes, the alarm resets and the icemaker automatically starts running again.
(2) 4-beep alarm: For the third high pressure switch activation in 1 hour, the icemaker
shuts down and the control board sounds a 4-beep alarm every 5 seconds. This alarm is to prevent catastrophic failure to the compressor and requires a manual reset. Before resetting, contact your local Hoshizaki Service Representative. Turn the power off and then on again to reset the alarm. If the high pressure switch has reset, the icemaker starts running again.
d) Freeze Timer (5-beep alarm)
The control board starts a 30-minute freeze timer once the upper oat switch closes. As the water level drops in the reservoir, the upper oat switch opens. Should the upper oat switch fail to close again before the 30-minute freeze timer terminates, the control board sounds a 5-beep alarm every 5 seconds. This alarm requires a manual reset. Turn the power off and then on again to reset the alarm. The icemaker starts running. Also, when the lower oat switch is open and the upper oat switch is closed, the control board sounds a 5-beep alarm every 5 seconds. This alarm requires a manual reset. Turn the power off and then on again to reset the alarm. For further details, see "IV.E. Float Switch Check."
e) Low Voltage (6-beep alarm)
The minimum allowable power supply voltage of this icemaker is limited by the low voltage cut-out. When low voltage (9Vac ±5% or less) is present, the "POWER OK" LED turns off and the control board shuts down the unit and sounds a 6-beep alarm every 5 seconds. When the proper supply voltage resumes, the icemaker automatically starts running again.
30
Page 31
f) High Voltage (7-beep alarm)
The maximum allowable supply voltage for this icemaker is limited by the high voltage cut-out. When high voltage (147.5Vac ±5% or more) is present, the "POWER OK" LED turns off and the control board shuts down the unit and sounds a 7-beep alarm every 5 seconds. When the proper supply voltage resumes, the unit automatically starts running again.
g) Gear Motor (8-beep alarm)
Gear motor operation is conrmed through the gear motor protect relay (control board K1 connector). If the white/orange (W/O) wires on the control board K9 connector (gear motor protect circuit) do not have continuity (gear motor protect relay de-energized), the compressor relay does not energize. If the icemaker is running, and the gear motor protect relay de-energizes, the control board shuts down the compressor and gear motor and sounds an 8-beep alarm every 5 seconds. This alarm requires a manual reset. Turn the power off and then on again to reset the alarm. The icemaker starts running. The compressor starts running again when the gear motor protect relay energizes. For further details, see "IV.B. Diagnostic Procedure."
h) Bin Control (9-beep alarm)
This alarm provides protection to prevent the icemaker from overlling the ice storage bin. If the infrared sensor is signifying the ice storage bin is empty (yellow LED off), and the mechanical bin control is signifying the ice storage bin is full (proximity switch open), the control board shuts down the unit and sounds a 9-beep alarm every 5 seconds. This alarm requires a manual reset. Turn the power off and then on again to reset the alarm. For further details, see "IV.D. Bin Control Check."

Page 32
b) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 1, 2, & 3)
Infrared sensor shutdown delay is the delay between the infrared sensor detecting ice (yellow LED ashing or steady) and the start of the shutdown sequence. For dispenser unit applications, the ice level at shutoff may need to be adjusted depending on the dispenser agitation or dispense method. Increasing the shutdown delay setting allows for a higher level of ice in the bin before the icemaker shuts down. For a typical dispenser unit application, a 100-second shutdown delay is recommended. When used with a standard Hoshizaki storage bin, any shutdown delay setting is acceptable.
WARNING
Increasing the shutdown delay allows a higher level of ice in the dispensing unit/storage bin before shutdown. This could lead to icemaker movement or ice overow.

D. Bin Control

An infrared sensor is used to control the level of ice in the dispenser unit/ice storage bin (S1 dip switch 7 in the "ON" position). The infrared sensor is the primary bin control device. 0VDC powers the infrared sensor from the control board K6 connector. A green power LED and a yellow ice detection LED are located on the infrared sensor. See Fig. 1. The paddle-actuated mechanical bin control is used as a backup bin control and safety device. See Fig. . For further details, see "IV.D. Bin Control Check."
The paddle-actuated mechanical bin control may be used as a stand-alone bin control when the unit is placed on a standard Hoshizaki ice storage bin (S1 dip switch 7 in the off position). WARNING! Do not place S1 dip switch 7 in the off position on
dispenser unit applications.

E. Float Switch

A dual oat switch is used to determine that there is sufcient water in the reservoir during ll and rell. The control board monitors the upper oat switch to de-energize the inlet water valve when the upper oat switch closes during ll and rell. The control board monitors the lower oat switch to energize the inlet water valve when the lower oat switch opens during the freeze cycle (rell). See Fig. 3. The control board monitors the time between the lower oat switch opening and the upper oat switch closing (90-second low water safety). The control board also monitors the time between the upper oat switch closing and the lower oat switch opening (30-minute freeze timer). No adjustment is required. For a oat switch check procedure, see "IV.E.1. Float Switch Check."

IV. Service Diagnosis

WARNING
1. This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualied service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re.
. Risk of electric shock. 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 dispenser unit/storage bin.
5. Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and dispenser unit/storage bin are clean after the unit is serviced. For cleaning procedures, see "VI. Cleaning and Maintenance."

A. Ice Production Check

To check production, prepare a bucket or pan to catch the ice and a set of scales to weigh the ice. After the icemaker has operated for 10 to 0 minutes, catch the ice production for 10 minutes. Weigh the ice to establish the batch weight. Multiply the batch weight by 144 for the total production in 4 hours.

B. Diagnostic Procedure

This diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation, adequate water supply (minimum of 10 PSIG, maximum of 113 PSIG) and proper voltage per unit nameplate. Check that the 4VAC 1A fuse and the 115VAC 3A GM fuse are good. When checking for high-voltage (115VAC), always choose a white (W) neutral wire to establish a good neutral connection. When checking for low-voltage (secondary) (4VAC), always choose a light blue (LBU) neutral wire to establish a good neutral connection. If the icemaker is in alarm, see "II.C.3. Alarm Safeties."
Note: FM/FMR and EHH (-C model only) energize when "GM" LED turns on. On MLH
model, CB X1 Comp relay energizes LLV and SLV.
1) Turn off the power supply.
) Remove the front panel, then move the power switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Remove the control box cover and access CB.
4) Check the S1 dip switch settings, see "II.C.4.a) Default Dip Switch Settings" to assure that they are in the correct positions. For proper operation of IS, conrm that S1 dip switch 7 is in the "ON" position.
WARNING
1. Risk of electric shock. Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical practices.
. Moving parts (e.g., fan blade) can crush and cut. Keep hands clear.
58
Page 59
5) Turn on the power supply, then move the power switch to the "ON" position. Make sure the control switch is in the "ICE" position. CB "POWER OK" LED and IS green LED turn on. Diagnosis "POWER OK" LED: Check that CB "POWER OK" LED is on. If not, check for proper supply voltage (115VAC) input to the control transformer. If 115VAC is not present, check the power switch and breaker. Next, check that the circuit protect relay is de-energized (closed between terminals #1 and #5). If the circuit protect relay is energized (08/30VAC), conrm proper power supply. The circuit protect relay helps protect 115VAC components from exposure to 08/30VAC. Next, check for proper outpout voltage (4VAC) from the control transformer. If "POWER OK" LED is off, check 4VAC at CB K8 connector pin #1 white/red (W/R) to pin # light blue (LBU). If 4VAC is not present, replace the control transformer. If 4VAC is present and "POWER OK" LED is off, CB is bad and must be replaced. Diagnosis IS: If "POWER OK" LED is on and IS green LED is off, check 0VDC at CB K6 connector brown (BR) wire to dark blue (DBU) wire. If 0VDC is not present, conrm dip switch 7 is in the "ON" position. If dip switch 7 is in the "ON" position and 0VDC is not present, CB is bad and must be replaced. If IS yellow LED is on or ashing, move ice away from IS lens. If no ice is present, clean the lens with a warm, clean damp cloth. If cleaning the lens does not work, replace IS. Diagnosis MBC: Conrm S1 dip switch 7 is in the "OFF" position. Check that the actuator paddle is properly positioned. Check for continuity across MBC proximity switch. When MBC proximity switch is closed 5VDC is present at CB K8 connector pin #3 or #4 gray (GY) to CB white K5 connector pin closest to red K4 connector (5VDC gnd). See Fig. 6. If 5VDC is not present, the control board is bad and must be replaced.
CB monitors the following switches with 5VDC: High-Pressure Switch, Gear Motor Protect Relay (relay terminals 3 & 5), and Mechanical Bin Control. When 5VDC is present across any of these switches, the switch is open.
6) Fill Cycle – "WTRIN" LED is on. WV energizes. The 90-second low water safety timer begins. LF/S closes. Nothing occurs at this time. The reservoir continues to ll until UF/S closes, terminating the 90-second low water safety timer, starting the 30-minute freeze timer, and de-energizing WV. Diagnosis: Check that "WTRIN" LED turns on. If not, make sure IS yellow LED is off. If not, move ice away from IS. If IS yellow LED does not turn off, clean the lens with a warm, clean damp cloth. If cleaning the lens does not work, replace IS. When "WTRIN" LED turns on, check that WV lls the reservoir. If not, check 4VAC to WV from CB K connector pin #8 white/brown (W/ BR) wire to a light blue (LBU) neutral wire. Check for continuity through WV solenoid. If open, replace WV. Check for water supply line shut-off valve closed, clogged water lters, and clogged WV screen. Check that DV is not leaking by. Check that WV shuts off when UF/S closes. If not, check UF/S, LF/S, CB, and WV. See "IV.E.1. Float Switch Check." Note: Low Water Safety–If UF/S remains open 90 seconds after WV energizes, a
1-beep alarm sounds. This alarm resets automatically once UF/S closes.
59
Page 60
7) Ice Purge Cycle"GM" LED is on. 30-second GM delay timer and 30-minute freeze timer start. WV de-energizes and "WTRIN" LED turns off. Once the 30-second GM delay timer terminates, the 5-minute ice purge timer starts. GMR (X on CB), GM, GMPR, FM/FMR, and EHH (-C model only) energize. Diagnosis: If "GM" LED is off, check that WV de-energizes and UF/S closes. If "GM" LED is on and GM is off, conrm 115VAC at CB K1 connector pin #3 black (BK) to white (W) neutral. Check for 115VAC at CB K1 connector pin # brown (BR) to a white (W) neutral. If no voltage is present, CB is bad and must be replaced. If 115VAC is present, check GM fuse, thermal protector, and GM windings. If FM/FMR is on but GM is off, check GM capacitor, GM windings, and GM coupling between auger and GM. If FM/FMR does not start, check FM/FMR capacitor, FM/FMR windings, and FM/FMR bearings.
8) Freeze Cycle"COMP" LED is on. "GM" LED remains on. Comp, LLV (MLH model), and SLV (MLH model) energize. GMR (X on CB), GM, GMPR, and FM/FMR continue. Ice production begins 4 to 6 minutes after Comp, LLV (MLH model), and SLV (MLH model) energize depending on ambient and water conditions. Diagnosis: Check that "COMP" LED is on and that Comp, or LLV (MLH model) and SLV (MLH model), energize. If "COMP" LED is off, check DC voltage across GMPR terminals 3 and 5 white/orange (W/O) wires. If 5VDC is present, GMPR contacts are open. Check GMPR solenoid voltage and solenoid continuity. Replace GMPR if necessary. If "COMP" LED remains off, CB is bad and must be replaced. If "COMP" LED is on and Comp is off, check for 115VAC at CB X1 Comp relay, Comp, LLV (MLH model), and SLV (MLH model). Check Comp internal overload (motor protector), start relay, and capacitors.
9) Rell Cycle/Low Water Safety Cycle – As ice is produced, the water level in the reservoir drops. UF/S opens. Nothing occurs at this time. When LF/S opens, WV energizes, 90-second low water safety timer (ll timer) starts. Comp, GMR, GM, GMPR, and FM/FMR continue. When UF/S closes, WV de-energizes, 90-second low water safety timer (ll timer) terminates and 30-minute freeze timer resets. If UF/S remains open 90 seconds after WV energizes (ll timer exceeded), a 90-second shutdown cycle starts. Comp de-energizes and CB signals a 1-beep alarm every 5 seconds. 90-second purge timer starts. GMR, GM, GMPR, and FM/FMR continue to clear ice from the evaporator. 90-second purge timer terminates, GMR, GM, GMPR, and FM/FMR de-energize. WV and 1-beep alarm continue until UF/S closes. Diagnosis – Check that "WTRIN" LED is on. If not, check LF/S. See "IV.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." If LF/S is open and "WTRIN" LED is off, CB is bad and must be replaced. If "WTRIN" LED is on, check that the reservoir lls. If not, check the water supply line, clogged water lters, WV solenoid, clogged WV screen. If WV is energized and rell exceeds 90-second low water safety timer (ll timer), check DV leaking by, UF/S open. See "IV.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." Note: Each time UF/S closes, 30-minute freeze timer starts. The 30-minute freeze timer
resets when UF/S closes again. If UF/S does not close again within 30 minutes, CB shuts down the unit and sounds a 5-beep alarm every 5 seconds. See "II. C.3.d) Freeze Timer (5-beep alarm)."

C. 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.
1) Check the S1 dip switch settings to assure that they are in the factory default position. S1 dip switch 7 is determined by bin control application:
Bin Control Application: Infrared Sensor Bin Control: S1 dip switch 7 in the "OFF" position. Mechanical Bin Control: S1 dip switch 7 in the "ON" position. For factory default settings, see "II.C.4.a) Default Dip Switch Settings."
) Move the power switch to the "ON" position and move the control switch to the "ICE"
position. The "POWER OK" LED turns on. Diagnosis "POWER OK" LED: Check that the "POWER OK" LED is on. If not, check for proper supply voltage (115VAC) input to the control transformer (power switch, breaker, fuse, and circuit protect relay). Next, check for proper low-voltage (4VAC) output from the control transformer and that the 1A fuse is good. Check for 4VAC from K8 connector pin #1 white/red (W/R) to K8 connector pin # light blue (LBU). If 4VAC is present and the "POWER OK" LED is off, the control board is bad and must be replaced.
3) "WTRIN" LED is on: When the lower or upper oat switch is open, the inlet water valve energizes and water lls the reservoir. Diagnosis: If "WTRIN" LED is off, upper oat switch is closed (reservoir full), "GM" LED is on, and the gear motor energizes, skip to step 8. If "WTRIN" and "GM" LED are off, conrm that the control switch is in the "ICE" position (open). Check that the yellow LED on the infrared sensor is not steady or ashing (see step 4 below). Next, check the continuity of the lower and upper oat switches (open or closed). For further details, see 5.f. below. If the lower or upper oat switch is open and the "WTRIN" LED is off, the control board is bad and must be replaced. If the "WTRIN" LED is on and the lower or upper oat switch is open, water should be lling the reservoir. If not, skip to step 6.

4) Infrared Sensor (K6 connector): Check that the infrared sensor green LED is on. If not, check for 0VDC from the black K6 connector dark blue wire (DBU) to the K6 connector brown (BR) wire. See Fig. 4. If 0VDC is not present, the control board is bad and must be replaced. Next, conrm that the yellow LED is not ashing or steady. If IS yellow LED is on or ashing, move ice away from IS lens. If no ice is present, clean the lens with a warm, clean damp cloth. If cleaning the lens does not work, replace IS.

D. Bin Control Check

1. Infrared Sensor Check

IMPORTANT
Make sure S1 dip switch 7 is in the "ON" position. This allows the control board to monitor the infrared sensor along with the mechanical bin control.
1) Turn off the power supply.
) Remove the front panel, top panel, and control box cover.
3) Conrm that S1 dip switch 1, , & 3 are in the proper position for your application. See "II.C.4.b) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 1, , & 3)."
4) Conrm that the infrared sensor is connected to the K6 connector on the control board. Wipe down the infrared sensor lens with a clean, warm, damp cloth.
5) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position, then move the power switch to the "ON" position.
6) Turn on the power supply to start the automatic icemaking process. Check that the infrared sensor green LED is on. This green LED conrms 0VDC power from the K6 connector on the control board to the infrared sensor and remains on constantly. Diagnosis: If the green LED is not on, check DC voltage at K6 connector dark blue (DBU) to brown (BR). If 0VDC is not present the control board is bad and must be replaced. If 0VDC is present and the green LED is off, the infrared sensor is bad and must be replaced.
7) Make sure the "GM" LED on the control board is on. There is a delay of at least 30 seconds before the "GM" LED turns on after power-up. After the "GM" LED turns on, press the "SERVICE" button on the control board to bypass the 5-minute ice purge cycle. See "II.C.1. Control Board Layout." WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Care should be taken not to touch live terminals. The "COMP" LED turns on.
8) "GM" and "COMP" LEDs are on. Use an object to cover the infrared sensor lens at the bottom of the icemaker. If the bottom of the icemaker is not accessible in your application, remove the thumbscrew securing the infrared sensor housing, remove the housing from the base, then cover the infrared sensor lens. See Fig. 7. The yellow LED on the infrared sensor turns on (ashing or steady). The yellow LED ashes when ice is at the outer limit of its range and turns steady as ice nears. After the yellow LED turns on (ashing or steady), the infrared sensor shutdown delay timer starts . See "Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 1, , and 3)." The compressor should de-energize immediately after the shutdown delay timer expires. Five minutes later, the gear motor and fan motor should de-energize. Diagnosis: If the yellow LED is not on after covering the lens, the infrared sensor is bad and must be replaced. If the unit remains on after the infrared sensor shutdown delay timer expires and the 5-minute ice purge timer expires, the control board is bad and must be replaced. If the infrared sensor fails to shut down the icemaker and the level of ice activates the mechanical bin control, the icemaker shuts down within 10 seconds of the mechanical bin control opening and a 9-beep alarm sounds. To reset, turn the power off, and then on again.
66
Page 67
9) Remove the object covering the infrared sensor. If you removed the infrared sensor housing from the base, replace it in its correct position, and secure it with the thumbscrew.
10) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position. Turn off the power supply, then proceed to "IV.D.. Mechanical Bin Control Check."

2. Mechanical Bin Control Check

When the actuator paddle is not engaged the mechanical bin control is closed and the icemaker produces ice. a) Backup Bin Control: S1 dip switch 7 placed in the "ON" position, the mechanical bin control is used as a backup bin control safety. When ice lls the chute and engages the actuator paddle, the mechanical bin control opens and the control board shuts down the icemaker within 10 seconds and sounds a 9-beep alarm. b) Stand-Alone Bin Control: S1 dip switch 7 placed in the "OFF" position, the mechanical bin control is used as a stand-alone bin control. The stand-alone application should only be used in Hoshizaki standard ice storage bin applications. When ice lls the chute and engages the actuator paddle, the mechanical bin control opens and the control board shuts down the icemaker within 10 seconds. WARNING! Do not place S1 dip switch 7 in the "OFF" position on dispenser unit applications. See "II.C.4.a) Default Dip Switch Settings."
1) Make sure the power supply is off.
) Remove the strap connecting the spout to the chute assembly. See Fig. 8. Pull up the
chute assembly slightly so that you can access the actuator paddle located in the top of the chute.
3) Move the power switch to the "ON" position.
4) Turn on the power supply to start the automatic icemaking process.

5) Make sure the "GM" LED is on. There is a delay of at least 30 seconds before the "GM" LED turns on after power-up. After the "GM" LED turns on, press the "SERVICE" button on the control board to bypass the 5-minute compressor delay. WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Care should be taken not to touch live terminals. The "COMP" LED turns on.
6) Press the actuator paddle located in the top of the chute. S1 dip switch 7 in the "ON" position: The compressor and gear motor should de-energize within 10 seconds and the control board should sound a 9-beep alarm. S1 dip switch 7 in the "OFF" position: The compressor and gear motor should de-energize within 10 seconds. Diagnosis: If the mechanical bin control fails to open or the icemaker fails to shut down, check that the actuator paddle is moving freely. Conrm that the actuator paddle is engaged. Check for continuity across the mechanical bin control wires. If the mechanical bin control is found open and the icemaker continues to run, the control board is bad and must be replaced. If the mechanical bin control is found closed with the actuator paddle engaged, the mechanical bin control proximity switch is bad and must be replaced.
7) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply.
8) Replace the chute assembly and strap in their correct positions.
9) Move the power switch to the "ON" position.
10) Replace the control box cover, top panel, and front panel in their correct positions.
11) Turn on the power supply to start the automatic icemaking process.

E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning

1. Float Switch Check

1) Remove the front panel and move the power switch to the "OFF" position. Move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position.
) Move the power switch to the "ON" position.
3) Allow the water to drain from the reservoir, then move the power switch to the "OFF" position and the control switch to the "ICE" position.
4) Remove the molex plug from the control box and check continuity across the oat switch wires. Black (BK) to red (R) for the upper oat and black (BK) to dark blue (DBU) for the lower oat. See Fig. 9. With the water reservoir empty, the oat switches are open. If open, continue to step 5. If closed, follow the steps in "IV.E.. Float Switch Cleaning." After cleaning the oat switches, check them again. Replace if necessary.
5) Replace the molex plug on the control box.
6) Move the power switch to the "ON" position and let the water reservoir ll.
7) Once the reservoir is full and the gear motor starts, move the power switch to the "OFF" position.
8) Remove the molex plug from the control box and check continuity across the oat switch wires. Black (BK) to red (R) for the upper oat and black (BK) to blue (DBU) for the lower oat. They should be closed. Clean or replace if necessary.

2. Float Switch Cleaning

Depending on local water conditions, scale may build up on the oat switch. Scale on the switch can cause the oats to stick. In this case, the oat switch should be cleaned and checked.
1) Turn off the power supply.
) Remove the oat switch assembly from the reservoir cover. See Fig. 10.
3) Wipe down the oat switch assembly with a mixture of 1 part recommended cleaner Hoshizaki "Scale Away" or "LIME-A-WAY" (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) and 5 parts warm water. Rinse the assembly thoroughly with clean water.
4) While not necessary, the oats can be removed from the shaft during cleaning. If you remove them, note that the blue oat is on top. The oats must be installed with the magnets inside them towards the top of the switch. Installing the oats upside down will affect the timing of the oat switch operation. See Fig. 9.
5) Rinse the oat switch assembly thoroughly with clean water and replace in its original position.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components

WARNING
1. This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualied service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re.
. Move the power switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply
before servicing. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power from being turned back on inadvertently.
3. CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. Make sure that none have fallen into the dispenser unit/storage bin.
4. Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and dispenser unit/storage 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-certied service personnel.
. 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.
. 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 50°F (11°C).

1. Refrigerant Recovery (except MLH model)

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.
76
Page 77

2. Brazing

WARNING
1. 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 hydrouoric 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.
CAUTION
1. 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.
3. When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 50°F (11°C).

3. Evacuation and Recharge (R-404A) (except MLH model)

1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure to connect 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.
) Turn on the vacuum pump. Never allow the oil in the vacuum pump to ow backwards.
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a 9.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends on pump capacity.
4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the gauge manifold.

Page 78
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 port 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.
4. Refrigerant Recovery, Evacuation, and Recharge - MLH Model (low side, parallel rack
