Ice Maker (shown here with cover off)
The unit uses an ice maker that consists of a mold heater, thermostat, motor, and wire harness. The ice maker always starts from and stops at the “park” position. In the park position (the ejector blades are pointing horizontally towards the back of the ice maker). Just before reaching the
park, position the mold is lled with water. At
the park position all electrical components are de-energized, even though the shut-off arm is down, and the ice maker is ready for the next freeze cycle. The ice maker takes from 30 minutes to one hour to freeze the water. The primary time factors are the temperature in the freezer and the
amount of airflow around the ice maker.
Colder freezer settings and free air space around the ice maker to let air circulate will help make ice faster. After the ice forms, the ice maker continues to wait until it reaches 15ºF before it starts the harvest cycle. This ensures that the ice is solid in all the cavities. At 15ºF the thermostat closes, the mold heater turns on, and the ejector blades rotate up and forward until they stall out against the ice. The motor is designed to stall out and is geared to generate a lot of pressure. This minimizes the amount of melting needed to extract the ice. As soon as the ice is loose enough to move, the ejector pushes the ice out of
the mold during the second half of the rst
revolution. During the second revolution, the ejector pushes the ice into the bucket.
Just before the ejector completes the second revolution, the ice maker turns the water valve on for approximately 7 seconds and
rells the mold with approximately 4 ounces
of water and the freezing cycle is ready to begin again.
To access the ice maker, open the freezer door, remove bottom cover and the ice maker is accessible.
To access module, motor, and support assembly loosen screws in module access ports, disconnect shutoff arm, disconnect wiring harness and remove mold from support assembly.

WARNING!
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect electrical power source to unit, unless test procedures require power to be connected. Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or operational.
To access module and heater assembly, remove three screws on front of module and remove support assembly.
Module
To make ice, an ice maker needs power, water, and sub-freezing temperatures.
Note: The freezer door switch turns off power to the ice maker when the freezer door is open. It will be necessary to manually close the freezer door switch for some troubleshooting steps. Ensure that the shut­off arm is down and instruct customer on its use if necessary.
To ensure power to the ice maker without a meter, remove the module cover and take note of the test points.
N - Neutral side of line voltage
M - Motor connection
H - Heater connection
T - Thermostat connection
L - L1 (hot)side of line voltage
V - Water valve connection
Place a 14 gauge jumper wire across test points T and H. With hands clear of the ice maker, manually close the freezer door switch. This will put the ice maker in a manual cycle. If the ejector does not rotate, this indicates no power to the ice maker. Trace power from the wall socket to the door switch and to the connector. Repair circuit and connections or replace door switch as needed. If the ejector begins to rotate (very slowly) there is power. With power present, verify 0 VAC between test points
T and H (this veries the thermostat
has closed). Verify heater resistance is
approximately 264 Ω. With motor running,
verify heater is heating. If no heat is detected, replace mold assembly. Next ensure water is supplied to the ice maker. When the ejector blade gets to the 11:00 position, the water valve is energized for 7.5 seconds.
Verify the water valve has 120 VAC between test points V and N and approximately 4.75 ounces of water is dispensed. If voltage is present and water is not dispensed verify
water supply and ll rate. Poor water quality
can cause ice maker to fail or produce
unacceptable cubes. Install a water lter

ALARMS
There are ve alarms that signify faulty conditions,
they will each be covered in detail.
1. High Temp Alarm
Freezer High Temp alarm
When the freezer temperature reaches the high temp level (15 predetermined time (3 hours), also set in EEPROM, the "HIGH TEMP" indicator will come on and the
"FREEZER" indicator will flash. You will also get
a continuous audible alarm, consisting of a beep pattern (ON - 0.5 sec, OFF 2 sec's).
o
F) ,set in the EEPROM at factory, for a
2. Open Thermistor Alarm
The controller will sense an open thermistor condition within 15 seconds of power on.
Open Refrigerator Thermistor Alarm
When the control senses that the refrigerator thermistor is open, "oPn" is displayed on the control along with the zone, "REFRIGERATOR". If the control was in the Freezer zone when the condition occurred, it automatically switches over to the faulty zone ("REFRIGERATOR"). You also receive an
audible alarm consisting of ve beeps that occurs
only one time. The visual alarms as described above will continue until the condition is corrected.
Refrigerator High Temp alarm
When the freezer temperature reaches the high temp
o
level (50
F) ,set in the EEPROM at factory, for a predetermined time (3 hours), also set in EEPROM, the "HIGH TEMP" indicator will come on and the
"REFRIGERATOR" indicator will flash. You will also
get a continuous audible alarm, consisting of a beep pattern (ON - 0.5 sec, OFF 2 sec's).
If the condition(s) change and the units temperature(s) are brought back within limits as described above, the audible alarm will turn off. The "HIGH TEMP" and the appropriate zone (Refrigerator or Freezer) indicator will continue to operate as described above.
To cancel the audible alarm when condition rst
occurs, press and release "ALARM OFF", this will result in shutting off the audible alarm only.
To clear the "HIGH TEMP" and flashing zone light
(FREEZER or REFRIGERATOR), the temperature must be brought down below the limit temperature as described in the appropriate zone above. Then pressing and releasing "ALARM OFF" once will clear the "HIGH TEMP" off the screen and the zone
indicator will stop flashing.
Open Freezer Thermistor Alarm
When the control senses that the freezer thermistor is open, "oPn" is displayed on the control along with the zone, "FREEZER". If the control was in the Refrigerator zone when the condition occurred, it automatically switches over to the faulty zone ("FREEZER"). You also receive an audible alarm
consisting of ve beeps that occurs only one time.
The visual alarms as described above will continue until the condition is corrected.
The unit will continue to execute temperature control and defrost operations as required until the condition is corrected. The control does this through software programming, acting as if the cut-out temperature is never reached in the faulty zone, temperature control in the other zone is unaffected.
The visual alarms will reset by themselves within 15 seconds of the open thermistor condition being corrected and temperature control reverts back to normal operation.

3. Shorted Thermistor Alarm
The controller will sense a shorted thermistor condition within 15 seconds of power on.
Shorted Refrigerator Thermistor Alarm
When the control senses that the refrigerator thermistor is shorted, "Shr" is displayed on the control along with the zone, "REFRIGERATOR". If the control was in the Freezer zone when the condition occurred, it automatically switches over to the faulty zone ("REFRIGERATOR"). You also
receive an audible alarm consisting of ve beeps
that occurs only one time. The visual alarms as described above will continue until the condition
4. Power Loss Alarm
If the control experiences a power loss condition and power is restored, the Power Loss alarm is displayed. This consists of the "POWER" indicator
being flashed on and off along with the temperature digits flashing on and off. All other indicators will be
off and only "ACTIVATE CONTROLS and ALARM OFF keys are active on the control panel.
There is no audible alarm indication associated with the power loss alarm. Pressing and releasing the "ALARM OFF" pad will result in "POWER" indicator extinguishing and the temperature digits revert back to normal temperature display.
is corrected.
Shorted Freezer Thermistor Alarm
When the control senses that the freezer thermistor is shorted, "Shr" is displayed on the control along with the zone, "FREEZER". If the control was in the Refrigerator zone when the condition occurred, it automatically switches over to the faulty zone ("FREEZER"). You also receive an audible alarm
consisting of ve beeps that occurs only one time.
The visual alarms as described above will continue until the condition is corrected.
The unit will continue to execute temperature control and defrost operations as required until the condition is corrected. The control does this through software programming, acting as if the cut-out temperature is never reached in the faulty zone, temperature control in the other zone is unaffected.
The visual alarms will reset by themselves within 15 seconds of the open thermistor condition being corrected and temperature control reverts back to normal operation.
5. Door Open Alarm
If the control senses that a door is open for a period of time, equal to the door open delay (factory default is 3 minutes, this time can be adjusted in service mode B) a continuous audible alarm will sound. At the same time "DOOR OPEN" illuminates on LED display and will remain on until condition is corrected.
Press the "ALARM OFF" pad and the audible alarm will cease. Pressing and holding the "ALARM OFF" pad for three seconds will disable the audible door alarm, until the "ALARM OFF" pad is again held for three seconds which will enable the audible door alarm once again.
These actions will not clear the visual "DOOR" alarm, that can only be cleared by shutting the doors and allowing the control to reset it.
