Read and follow all safety instructions in this manual and on the machine (decals, labels, and laminated
cards).
Read and understand all applicable OSHA (Occupation Safety and Health Administration) safety regula-
tions before operating the machine.
Recognize Safety Alerts
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see it in this manual or on the machine be
alert to the potential of personal injury or damage to the machine.
Different Types of Alerts
There are 3 types of safety alerts:
DANGER — Indicates an immediate hazardous situation which if not avoided WILL result in seri-
ous injury, death, or equipment damage.
Continuous Flow Icemaker Service Manual
WARNING — Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in
serious injury, death, or equipment damage.
CAUTION — Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in
minor or moderate injury or equipment damage.
SAFETY TIPS
• Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and safety signs on the machine.
• Keep safety signs in good condition and replace missing or damaged safety signs.
• Learn how to operate the machine and how to use the controls properly.
• Do not let anyone operate the machine without proper training. This appliance is not intended for use
by very young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Keep your machine in proper working condition and do not allow unauthorized modifications to the
machine.
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL
CAUTION — Only trained and certified electrical, plumbing and refrigeration technicians should
service this unit. ALL WIRING AND PLUMBING MUST CONFORM TO NATIONAL AND LOCAL
CODES.
SHIPPING AND STORAGE
CAUTION — Before shipping, storing, or relocating the Unit, syrup systems must be sanitized
and all sanitizing solution must be purged from the syrup systems. All liquids, after sanitizing, must
be purged from the unit. A freezing ambient environment will cause residual sanitizing solution or
water remaining inside the Unit to freeze resulting in damage to the internal components.
The type of bin control used on all WCC & WCF
Models is an electronic control. The control is
supplied with power to terminals X1 and X2.
Terminals X3 and X4 are a normally closed
switch which open when the thermostat sensor
bulb senses ice.
The sensing element is located in a 5/16”
stainless steel tube which hangs from the
dispense tray cover down through the center of
the drop tube.
To test switch, start the icemaker and block the
outlet tube. When the ice fills the drop tube
about 1/2 full the icemaker should shut off.
When tube is cleared the ice maker should
restart within 5 min.
The Bin control is in electrical series with coil on antifreeze relay along with the low water safety. If unit is
water cooled, the condenser high pressure cut out is also in series.
The Control Switch is held in place inside electrical box by 2 screws. The Control bulb is in the drop tube.
It can be removed by pulling the cable located on the top of the dispense tray cover. When replacing the
sensor make sure the bulb is inserted to the bottom of the thermostat well.

GEARMOTOR
The gearmotor is equipped with a start relay and a manual reset overload.
When current is applied, the relay energizes and completes the circuit to the start winding. The motor
reaches a predetermined speed and the relay drops out, disconnecting the start winding. The run
winding remains in the circuit as long as current is applied.
The purpose of the overload is to automatically shut off the motor in the event of a mechanical bind of the
transmission, an overload condition within the evaporator or an electrical malfunction. It does this by
sensing amperage draw. If the motor stalls the start relay would energize and stay energized. The
amperage would surge 5 to 6 times greater than the normal draw. In this event the overload would shut
off the transmission in 4 to 8 seconds.
If the motor is subjected to an abnormal load, but does not reach a stall condition, the overload will react,
but over a greater period of time. The reaction time depends upon the amperage to which it is subjected.
The overload, through the safety circuit, also shuts off the compressor.
