Each ice maker and each ice bin must enter the drain stack through separate connections. Models equipped with a liquid condenser that does not re circulate coolant must have a drain for each condenser that enters the drain stack through separate connections
The drain hose or pipe will remain a constant diameter from the machine to the drain
o The building drain must be able to accommodate all the drain water from the ice
machine operation.
Individual drains will not be directly connected to a common manifold, drain or standpipe. If individual drains are to be discharged into a common manifold, drain or standpipe, a minimum 38mm (1.5”) air gap must be provided at each connection. This is to prevent any backflow of drain water into the ice maker or ice bin.
Drain lines will be installed with a minimum drop of 1” per 3’ run (2.5cm per meter run).
The temperatures of the water supply fall between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F(32°C)
The water supply must be potable, not laden with sediment, and have free chlorine levels no
greater than 0.2ppm.
A minimum 5 psig (0.034 MPA) dynamic water supply pressure is required for proper operation of the ice maker water valve. Please note that on liquid cooled ice machines, where the same water supply is used for both condenser cooling and the potable water supply, the demand for condenser coolant may cause the supply pressure to drop. This is most notable at the time of peak load, at the beginning of the freeze cycle. The maximum water supply pressure is 100 psig (0.6 MPA).
All water lines have been purged before connection.
All KOLD-DRAFT models are intended to be installed with a permanent connection to the field
electrical supply. Drop cord connections are not to be used with this equipment. Always be sure the power supply is the same as the ice machine’s electrical specification, which is listed on the serial number tag on the front of the top frame cross member
Each ice maker must be connected to the grid through its own dedicated fuse or HACR type circuit breaker.
Each ice maker must be connected to a separate protected circuit with no other loads.
Fused disconnects, installed adjacent to each ice maker, are recommended and may be
required by local codes. These components must be supplied by the installer.
6
Electrical service must fall within the voltage tolerances listed below:
Breaker or fuse service must be no greater than the maximum rating as specified on the
rating label attached to the back of the machine.
The minimum circuit ampacity listed on the back of the machine does not indicate a typical running current value. Use the minimum ampacity value for sizing branch circuit conductors up to 26 feet (8 meters) in length. For a conductor length over this length, increase the wire gauge as required by code.
DANGER: Failure to comply with these regulations may cause serious injury or death
and cause damage to the machine and its surroundings.
Warning: Water Treatment: There are no specific requirements for water treatment provided
that the ice making supply water is potable and not laden with sediment. The use of
additional water treatment may facilitate or reduce the frequency of the need for cleaning. Please consult your local water conditioning supplier for specific
recommendations.
Note:
Ambient temperatures higher than the maximum specification will result in reduced
capacities and high system pressures in air-cooled models. Temperatures lower than the minimum will cause the machine to malfunction due to an inability to eject the ice from the evaporator. Ambient temperatures less than 60°F (15°C) may cause the bin thermostat to malfunction.
Clearance must be provided for ventilation and access for service. Ventilation is
especially important for models with air-cooled condensers. Failure to provide adequate clearance may result in reduced capacities and high system pressures.
Ice machine drains and bin drains may be insulated to prevent condensation.
The use of water treatment may increase the intervals between cleaning operations and
the overall machine life.
If a water pressure regulator is used, the recommended setting is 30 to 50 psig (0.2 MPA
to 0.3 MPA) dynamic.
Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply line. Insulate the water line from
sources of heat for greater operating efficiency. Supply water temperatures higher than the recommended maximum will cause reduced capacities.
Normal protector size is based on rated voltage and operation at lower than extreme
temperature limits. Branch circuit conductors may be sized to allow increasing the protector value up to the specified maximum. This may avoid nuisance protector opening under harsh operating conditions.

Additional Pre-install Information for Cooling Tower Applications (L models)
The ice machine does not need to be modified for use with a cooling tower provided the cooling tower is properly designed for the application. Information regarding the amount of heat rejection, as well as the pressure drop through the condenser and liquid valves is required to properly select or design a cooling tower application for an ice machine.
Coolant entering the condenser must not exceed 90°F (32.2°C).
Coolant exiting the condenser must not exceed 110°F (43.3°C).
Allow for a pressure drop of 7 psi (48 KPA) between the liquid coolant inlet and outlet of the condenser.
The condenser liquid control valve will regulate the flow of coolant through the condenser, thereby controlling the high side pressure in the ice machine.

ASSEMBLY
Unpacking
Unpacking a KOLD-DRAFT machine can be done by prying off the boards that are holding the cardboard box to the shipping pallet. The box can then be lifted vertically to expose the machine. Tools to complete this job would include a claw hammer or some other form of pry-bar.
Assembly Procedure
1. Remove the ice machine front-cover panel, top-cover panel and side-cover panels from the ice machine frame.
2. Remove all shipping materials from the ice machine. Cut off the water plate shipping strap.
3. For proper operation the ice machine and ice bin must be on a level surface. If the surface the ice bin will be installed on is not level, use shims or the adjusters on the ice bin legs to bring the machine to level. If shims were used, seal the bin to the floor using a sealant with NSF certification. If there are gaps larger than 1/8” (3mm) install a cove molding around the bottom of the bin to reduce the gap and seal the cove molding to the floor with the approved sealant.
4. Confirm that the following holes are installed in the bin top: a hole corresponding to the ice drop zone, drain pan outlet, bin level probe and the threaded mounting holes for the supplied bolts at the four corners of the machine. The hole for the drain pan outlet should be 2”(5cm) in diameter to allow sufficient access for the clamp. Drain hoses for drain pan outlets in GT36x, GT56xA, GB56x and the lower halves of GB106x models get directed through the back of the ice bin. Drain hoses for drain pan outlets in GT56xL and the upper halves of GB106x models get directed through pre-cut holes in the back of the ice machine frames. Drain pans should never be allowed to drain directly into the ice bin. After installation, seal around the drain tube where it leaves the machine.
Note: All KOLD-DRAFT bins will have a provision for the drain pan outlet tube to exit the rear of the bin. Ice machines that will be used on bins not manufactured by KOLD-DRAFT will require a drain riser adapter made by KOLD-DRAFT to allow sufficient clearance for the drain pan outlet tube to exit the back of the assembly.
5. Install gasket on top of bin if not already installed. Gasket material must be positioned so that it extends to the outside edge of the perimeter of the ice maker chassis when the ice-maker is in place. To apply the gasket, peel away the white backing strip and press firmly in place.
6. Carefully lift the ice machine and position it on the ice storage bin. Securely attach the ice machine to the ice storage bin with the supplied washers and bolts or other non-corroding hardware if not installed on a KOLD-DRAFT bin. If the ice machine is installed on an installed with an accessory such as a crusher, follow the installation instructions with the other equipment.
DANGER: It is highly recommended that 2 or more people perform this job, if the
machine falls it could cause serious injury or death.
7. Make all plumbing and electrical connections to the ice machine and ice storage bin in
GB Models
GT Models
accordance with local regulations.
8. Remove the strap securing the bin level probe and install through the bottom of the ice machine. Ice machines on top of other ice machines or ice crushers should have the bin probe stuck through the bottom of the machine directly above the bin. The hole for the bin probe will be in the same location on all variations of these machines, just to the right of the ice-making compartment or the ice chute in GT56x applications.
9. Install the ice deflectors.

INITIAL START PROCEDURE
1. Be sure that the on-off switch is in the “off” position and the ice-clean switch is in the “clean” position.
2. Turn on the power and water supply and check all supply lines for leaks.
3. Make sure all pump and water tank hoses are connected, then pour 1/2 quart (1/2 liter) of clean potable water into the circulation system to lubricate and prime the pump(s).
Note: this can be done by either pouring the water directly onto the evaporator, the evaporator is equipped with drain holes for this purpose and to allow melted frost to drain into the water tank. In tight spaces a funnel and hose can be used to pour water onto the evaporator. Alternatively the water can slowly be poured into the clear control stream box on the front of the water plate or between the evaporator and the top left wall of the water plate.
4. Move the on-off switch to the “on” position and observe the water flowing from the distributor tube filling the water tank. Also, observe that the water pump is circulating water through the system. A momentary sucking, cavitation sound is normal at the beginning of the process when the water level is low. The water fill is complete when the water level in the probe tube reaches the high-level probe. Observe that the water valve is de-energized by ensuring water has stopped flowing through the distributor tube. Check that there are no water leaks from the hoses or water tank into the drain pan.
Note: For GB106x models, observe that the water fill difference between the upper and lower water tanks measured from the top of the control stream box is less than inch (3 mm) for “C” models and ¼ inch (6 mm) for “HK” models.
5. Pull down on the right side of the water plate, stretching the springs until the water plate switch is disengaged, observe that the pump stops and the actuator motor rotates the cam arms counter-clockwise. Observe that the cam arms continue to turn, opening the water plate fully, dumping the water in the tank. After a moment, the cam arm rotation will reverse and close the water plate. The cam arm rotation will stop when the water plate is fully closed and the water fill process will repeat.
6. Move the ice-clean switch to the “ice” position, the water plate will cycle down and up one more time dumping the water. When this completes the machine will begin to make ice, observe that the compressor and the condenser fan motor, if so equipped, begin to run. If possible with liquid cooled models ensure there is water flow during the ice making cycle.
7. Test the bin level control operation by holding ice against it. Adjust the controller, if required, to shut off the ice machine within 30 seconds of contact between the ice and probe.
8. Make sure that the drain pan, ice deflectors and stacking chute (GB106x models and stacked ice machines only) are properly installed. Replace and secure all the cabinet panels. The front panel gets secured to the machine with the provided stainless steel sheet metal screws.
9. Discard all the ice from the start-up cycles, then clean and sanitize the ice storage bin according to the instructions provided with the bin.
10. Complete and mail the registration certificate to the factory. Leave all instructions with the owner/user.
ICE MACHINE CLEANING PROCEDURE
It is recommended to perform this cleaning procedure at a minimum twice per year.
Note: Use a clean plastic bottle fitted with a stopper or cap that has a pouring tube and a vent to facilitate mixing and pouring of the specified solutions.
1. Mix 3 oz. (500023) KD Nickel-Safe Ice Machine Cleaner per gallon of warm water.
2. If the ice machine is operating, wait until the ice falls out of the evaporator, then move the
Ice-Clean Switch to the “Clean” position.
3. Empty the storage bin and turn off any other ice machines on the same bin.
4. After the water fill is complete, turn off the ice machine. While pinching the water level
control tube, remove it from the probe cap. Hold the water level control tube high enough so that the water does not overflow, release the control tube and pour about half the cleaning solution into the top of the probe tube. Pinch the control tube again and reassemble the probe tube to the cap. Pour the remaining cleaning solution into the control stream box.
5. Turn on the ice machine and allow the solution to circulate for 15 minutes then pull down
on the right side of the water plate. This will cause it to open and dump the cleaning solution and then refill with water. Repeat the dump process three times to be sure all the cleaning solution is rinsed out of the machine.
6. Mix a sanitizing solution containing 0.5 ounce (15 ML) 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite
(household bleach or equivalent) and 1 quart (3.8 Liter) clean water.
7. Using the same process as in step #4, pour half of the sanitizing solution into water level
probe tube and the other half into the control stream box.
8. Allow the solution to circulate for 15 minutes. Pull down on the right side of the water plate,
to cause it to open and dump the sanitizing solution and then refill with water. Repeat this process two times to be sure all the cleaning solution is rinsed out of the machine. If necessary, adjust the water level probes to the proper levels.
9. While the cleaning and sanitizing solutions are circulating, clean and rinse all accessible
parts and surfaces of the ice machine with clean towels and . Mix a cleaning solution containing 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) (96g) baking soda and 1 Gal. (3.8 Liter) of warm water and a sanitizing solution containing 1 teaspoon (5 ML) 5-1/4% sodium hypochlorite and two quarts (1.9 Liter) of clean water.
10. After cleaning has been completed, move the Ice-Clean Switch to the “Ice” position. Check
the operation of the machine, particularly the water level and subsequent ice cube formation. Adjust the water level probes if needed.

COMPONENTS
Mechanical Components Refrigerant Compressor: Provided to pump refrigerant through the refrigeration system. See
the serial number plate for refrigerant specification and electrical characteristics.
Condenser: All air-cooled and liquid-cooled models are provided with a self-contained refrigerant condenser to remove heat from the refrigeration system. These condensers are designated in the model number as (“A”) air-cooled and (“L”) liquid-cooled. Remote air-cooled condensers are also available for some models. These are designated as (“R”) in the model number. (See the remote air-cooled section of the manual for information on these models.)
Condenser Fan and Motor: Provided with all air-cooled (“A”) models to draw air through the condenser.
Liquid Regulator Valve: Provided with all liquid-cooled (“L”) models to regulate the flow of coolant through the condenser and maintain a specified refrigerant discharge pressure.
Heat Exchanger: Provided to sub-cool the refrigerant, ensuring that the refrigerant is liquid at the inlet of the expansion valve.
Filter Drier: Provided as insurance that all moisture and impurities are removed from the refrigeration system.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve: Maintains the proper flow of refrigerant, through the system, as the load changes during the ice making cycle.
Evaporator: A plated copper evaporator is found in all models. The evaporator provides the five freezing surfaces for ice cube formation.
Defrost Valve: Directs compressor discharge gas to the evaporator, warming it to release the ice cubes during the harvest cycle.
Water Tank: Provided as a sump to hold the water required to make one batch of ice cubes.
Water Solenoid Valve: Opens to allow potable water to enter the ice machine and closes when
the water tank is filled to the correct level.
Note: There is a strainer in the water valve inlet, which protects the water valve from particles in the water supply. If the need for cleaning this strainer is frequent, an external water filter should be provided.
Water Plate: Functions as a water manifold with a flat surface and to regulate the web thickness between the cubes. This surface is positioned close to the evaporator and acts to form the sixth side of the ice cubes. The water plate surface has one spray hole for each cell in the evaporator, to provide water to the freezing surfaces. The water plate surface also has two drain holes under each cell, to allow unfrozen water to return to the water tank to be re-circulated. The water plate swings down during the harvest cycle to allow the ice cubes to fall out of the evaporator.
Note: If at any time during the Fill, Freeze, or Circulate cycle the water plate is manually opened the controller will switch to the step 3 of the ice making sequence on page 28.
16
Water Pump: Continuously circulates the water from the water tank, through the water plate during the ice making cycle. The water pump also operates during the wash cycle to circulate cleaning and sanitizing solution.
Actuator Motor: Rotates the cam arms counter-clockwise, at the beginning of the ice harvest cycle, to lower the water plate, so the ice can fall out of the evaporator. It then rotates clockwise, at the end of the harvest cycle, to close the water plate for the next ice making cycle.
Actuator Motor Capacitor: Installed between the two actuator motor windings, the function of this capacitor is to determine the direction of the rotation of the actuator motor.
Cam Arms: These are attached to the actuator motor output shaft and function initially to separate the water plate from the evaporator and then to support the water plate as it opens fully.
Water Plate Springs: Function as the connection between the cam arms and the water plate. They also act as a safety mechanism, stretching if any ice remains on the water plate surface as it is closing against the evaporator.
Drain Pan: Provided to catch the dreg water at the end of the ice making / cleaning and sanitizing cycles and directs it to the drain.
Ice Deflectors-Front and Rear: Provided to direct the falling ice to the storage bin.
Controller: Controls the ice machine utilizing multiple sensors, provides power directly to many
of the ice machine components. Through solid-state relays, outputs and indirectly to the compressor and condenser fan motor, if so equipped, by operation of the Contactor. The controller also provides status indication of the ice machine and components as well as diagnostics for service personnel.
On-Off Switch: The “On” position provides power to the controller to operate the ice machine. The “Off” position interrupts power to the controller to shut down the ice machine.
Caution: Switching the machine “off” does not de-energize circuits, disconnect power before
servicing.
Ice-Clean Switch: The “Ice” position signals the controller to provide full operation of the ice machine. The “Clean” position signals the controller to exclude operation of the contactor and thereby the compressor and condenser fan motor if so equipped This position is useful for cleaning the ice machine and for test procedures where operation of the compressor is not required or desired.
Ice Level Probe: Senses when the ice bin is full- Contact between this probe and the ice in the storage bin will signal the controller to shut off the ice machine. When ice is removed from the probe, the ice machine will restart.
Adjustment: While holding ice against the probe tube, turn the adjustment knob on the controller to shut off the ice machine within one minute. A warmer (CCW Bottom blue knob) adjustment will shut off the ice machine sooner. A colder (CW) adjustment will delay shut off.
Evaporator Temperature Probe: Senses the temperature of the evaporator. During the defrost cycle, the evaporator must warm sufficiently to release the ice. This probe signals the controller to terminate the defrost cycle, after the ice has fallen out of the evaporator, and start the next ice making cycle.
Note: A secondary function of this probe is to signal the controller to shut off the ice machine if the evaporator should overheat.
Adjustment: Turn the adjustment knob on the controller warmer (CCW Top blue Knob), only if the defrost time is insufficient to drop all the ice from the evaporator, before the water plate begins to close. The defrost time should be increased no more than is required to ensure all the ice has fallen from the evaporator.
Control Stream: This is a small clear box, divided into two sections and located on the front face of the water plate. It is a “safety valve” that ensures evacuation of the water reservoir so that harvest cycles will begin without undue delay. Water flowing into the left section of the box is returned to the water tank and re-circulated through the system. Water flowing into the right section of the box is drained out of the system. The velocity of the stream flowing in the box, during the ice making cycle, is an indicator of the water pressure inside the water plate. This pressure will increase as the ice cubes fill out in the evaporator, covering the drain holes provided for each cell. This pressure increase will cause the stream, normally flowing into the left section of the box, to flow over the partition and into the right section, draining the system of excess water.
Adjustment: Turn the Philips head screw located behind the expansion valve such that the stream of water falls to the left of the control stream box partition, during the early portion of the ice making cycle, before the cubes are full.
Water Level Probe Assembly: This assembly consists of three stainless steel probes or a float type which are positioned in a clear water level tube. The water level tube is mounted in front of the water tank and is connected to it by a hose. The water level in the tank is visible in the tube. The water level probes or float are positioned in the water level tube. The longest is a reference probe and the tip of this probe is at the bottom of the tube. The next longest probe is the “LOW PROBE.” When the water level is low enough to separate from the tip of this probe, the controller is signaled to start the harvest cycle. The shortest probe is the “HIGH PROBE.” When the water level touches the tip of this probe during the water fill, the controller will de-energize the water inlet valve. The water level probe float type has a HIGH float and LOW float. As of 1/1/17 we will be adding a dual float, left side float is for harvest, right side is for water level. Adjustments stay the same.
Adjustment: The reference probe should be adjusted all the way down. The “Low Probe” should be adjusted so the tip is approximately .60” (15 mm) from the bottom of the probe tube. The “High Probe” determines how much water is taken into the system at the beginning of a cycle. It is adjusted as required by the size of the cube (“C” or “HK”) and the desired fullness (dimple size) of each cube. Typically all cubes should have a small dimple at the end of the freeze cycle. Lack of a dimple in the cubes is an indicator that the water tank level is too high at the start of the cycle. The water level probe float type has a HIGH float determines how much water is taken into the system at the beginning of a cycle and LOW float when it is low enough to tip the controller is signaled to start the harvest cycle.
Note: Making cubes without a 1/8 dimple will reduce ice machine capacity and may damage the water plate surface in extreme cases. If the control stream is draining water for more than 15 seconds, at the end of the ice making cycle, the water level in the tank is

too high. Lower the high probe or raise the low probe slightly, until proper operation is evident.
WATER LEVEL ASSEMBLY (FLOAT TYPE) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DOCUMENT #307 1054 01
Refer all maintenance to qualified personnel. Disconnect power before servicing equipment.
REMOVE OLD WATER LEVEL PROBES, WIRE HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS Remove the old water level probe assembly, wire harnesses and connectors from the control box all the way to the water level tube on the water plate. Start in the top right corner of the control box. On the PC board, there is a small black connector with black, white and red wires. Un-clip it and remove it thru the hole in the top/back of the control box. Remove all connected wire harnesses & connectors all the way to the water level tube on the water tank. Note which way the wiring is routed, for installation of the new water level probe assembly. You may cut out the wiring & connectors from the old water level probe assembly as needed. All new wire harnesses and connectors will be supplied with the new water level probe assembly.
CONNECT NEW WATER LEVEL PROBE, WIRE HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS
1. In the replacement kit, find the harness with the small black connector on one end. Feed the black connector thru the hole in the control box and plug it into the PC board. The terminals on the other end of the harness will be connected in step 3 below.
2. Place the new probe with the correct float setup (see FLOAT SETUP below) into the water tube and hang it back onto the top edge of the water tank. Run the other end of the probe wire harness thru the machine to near the back of the control box.
3. Connect the terminals on the ends of the black, white & red wires to the terminals on the ends of the black, white & red wires on the harness you installed into the control box in step 1 above, being sure wire colors correspond for each connection.
FLOAT SETUP In order for the probe switches to correctly work for K CUBE machines the top float must be flipped over so the magnetic strip is on top. The round blue disk above the top float must also be moved down to the empty grove below it. Both the K and C/HK setups are shown in the picture below. The black dots indicate where the magnetic strip is. If you are unsure where the magnetic strip is located, hold the float up to a light source and the magnetic ring will be more easily identified.
FLOAT ADJUSTMENTS
In order for the machines to make a solid cube some adjustments may be needed. If the ice being harvested is too light or does not have the right dimple size to make it solid, the entire probe will need to be raised slightly. This can be done by grabbing the probe at the top and pulling slightly. If the ice is too solid and there is no dimple in the ice cube then the probe needs to be lowered. Grabbing the probe at the top and pushing it in will lower it. Raise or lower the probe for right ICE CUBE QUALITY Proper adjustment of the control stream and water level probes will produce ice cubes containing a 1/8" to 3/16" dimple.
Plate Up Switch: This switch is actuated by the water plate and informs the controller about the position of the plate—fully up or not fully up. If this switch/magnetic is not actuated when the water plate closes, because ice is remaining on the water plate surface, the actuator motor will reverse and reopen the water plate. This will continue until the surface is clear.
Adjustment: The switch/magnetic should be actuated when the front cam arm is between the 10 o’clock and 11 o’clock positions. The switch/magnetic is closed when the “plate up” LED is lit. Adjust the actuation point by adjusting the height of the white actuation screw on the water plate.
Note: Do not bend the switch lever to make this adjustment.
Arms Up Switch: This switch acts to limit the clockwise rotation of the actuator motor. It informs the controller when the cam arms are in the “12 o’clock” position (water plate up), so the actuator motor can be de-energized.
Adjustment: The switch operator, which is attached to the output shaft of the actuator motor, can be rotated on the shaft and fixed in place with a set screw. When adjusted properly, the cam arm will stop in the “12 o’clock” position. The motor stops when the flat spot on the switch operator allows the switch lever to drop down.
Note: The front water plate spring must be on the left side of the cam hub when the water plate is fully closed (cam arm in the 12 o’clock position).
Arms down Switch: This switch acts to limit the counter-clockwise rotation of the actuator motor. It informs the controller when the cam arms are in the “7 o’clock” position (water plate down), so the actuator motor can be de-energized.
Adjustment: The switch operator, which is attached to the output shaft of the actuator motor, can be rotated on the shaft and fixed in place with a set screw. When adjusted properly, the cam arm will stop in the “7 o’clock” position. The motor stops when the flat spot on the switch operator allows the switch lever to drop down. Do not allow under-travel or over-travel so that the water plate is not in the most fully-open position (critical with HK models)
Contactor: Provided with all models to carry the compressor load. On self-contained and remote air-cooled models, the condenser fan motor is also connected to the contactor. The contactor coil is rated for line voltage and the contacts are rated for definite purpose applications (FLA and LRA).
High Pressure Cutoff: A manual reset pressure switch is provided, which will open the circuit to the contactor coil if the discharge pressure should reach 435 psig (2.38 MPA gauge).As of 04/16 new AUTOMATIC no need to reset it.
GB106x Series Unique Components Stacking Chute: Provided to direct the ice, from the upper ice making section, down through the
lower ice making section of these machines.
Ice Deflectors-Upper Front and Rear: Provided to direct the falling ice, from the upper ice making section, to the stacking chute.

Note:
The controller will need to be reset to clear these error codes.
Board Revision numbers are found on the sticker placed on a processor chip in the middle
of the control board. Example: K4B-1.2 indicates a board revision number 1.2
Stacked Jumpers:
Under normal operation all machines will have a jumper across the left pins. If this jumper is removed the water valve will stay energized to thoroughly rinse the water plate during the water plate lowering, harvest and water plate rising cycles. Note: The machine will need reset for the controller to acknowledge this change.
The right jumper is used to tell the controller when it is being used on a dual evaporator machine (GB1064 models only). This is set at the factory and should never be removed.
Programming Port: Used by service technicians to alter or up date the controller software.
Water Level Sensor: Port for water level sensor probes or FLOAT.
Evaporator Temperature Adjustment: To increase the temperature of the evaporator at which
the water plate closes, turn this dial counterclockwise. To decrease, turn the dial clockwise. The operator can adjust the harvest termination temperature between 35 and 60F.
Note: After adjustment the controller must be reset.
Reset Button: Reboots the controller.
Temperature Sensor Port: For evaporator and bin temperature sensor probes.
Bin Full Adjustment: To increase the temperature at which the ice level probe reacts to contact
with ice in the bin turn the dial clockwise. To decrease, turn the dial counterclockwise. The temperature range for this adjustment is between 33 and 45F.
Note: After adjustment the controller must be reset.
Switch Input Port: For the on/off, ice/clean and limit switches
Factory Use Only: Used to display diagnostic codes to a LCD monitor used only by service the
factory.
Output: AC output for powering the fan(s), compressor, water pump(s), actuator motor(s), contactor(s), and valves.

8. Bin Probe is out of position
1. Replace Cam Arm or Cam Pin.
2. Reinstall springs or replace as needed.
3. Adjust switch actuator or replace as needed. Check to insure that the Plate-Up switch actuates before the Arms-Up switch actuates.
4. Lower the short water level probe, in 1/16” increments, until cubes have a pea-sized dimple in the center.
5. Replace the Water Plate if the factory coating is severely warn and is causing ice to stick to it. Use a Food-Grade Silicone spray to provide a temporary improved surface, until the water plate can be replaced.
6. Adjust Evaporator Probe colder (turn CW), or replace if adjustment does not help.
7. Free up, adjust or replace stuck/shorted Arms-Up Switch, or repair wiring.
8. Re-position or replace Bin Probe.
Water Plate failed to close after three consecutive attempts.
(Rev. 1.2/1.3)
After 3 attempts to close, machine goes into a 30­minute shutdown, with the Plate open. It will repeat this routine (w/ the Plate closing 3 times & then a 30-minute wait) four times, before going out on Code 20. The Code 20 LED will flash as this routine is in process, and then light solid after the routine tries 4 times and ends Code 20.
