. Check and tighten all bolts and screws. 6. Check for water leaks and make corrections. 7. Check the bin control to test shut-off. Holding the evaporator deflector in open Position for more that 30secs, should cause the ice maker to shut-off at the end of harvest cycle. Once the evaporator deflector is released in its closed position, the ice maker will restart. 8. Check cube size, adjust if required through setting screw of ice thickness control sensor. 9.
2. 2.1 Start Up. 10. The table below is intended as a quick reference to aid the Service Agent to determine the cause of a particular type of malfunction, as well as the recommended repair. It is not intended to be an exclusive list. Reference to other portions of this manual including wiring diagrams, installation, and operation are recommended to better determine the cause of a problem. Start–up Cycle. Open the water valve and switch on the power to the machine.
Check the second and third cube harvest. Ensure that they are the correct size and make adjustments to the Ice Sensors Fingers as necessary. In certain areas where there are extreme water problems it may be necessary to fit a filter or purifying equipment. Wiring Diagrams NOTE. To ensure a correct operation of the machine the water must have a minimum electrical conductivity level of 20 us. Open the bottom end of the plastic ice deflector for 30 seconds to check the operation of the magnetic switch.
block releasing it from the mould. Once released the ice block drops into the storage bin below and breaks into individual cubes, in the process it moves the deflector plate forwards. The defector has on its side a magnetic switch that when it moves forward it opens and closes the contacts. This motion deactivates the relay contacts that control the hot gas and water drain valve allowing the unit to start a new freezing cycle.
. Removal and Replacement Procedures WARNING Be sure the electrical power supply circuit breaker and the inlet water supply are OFF, BEFORE starting any of the following REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT procedures as a precaution to prevent possible personal injury or damage to equipment. 9.1 7. Component Description 7.1 Front Console Panel Power On.‘Green’. 1. Remove front panel. 2. Remove front interior metal strip. 3. Unplug pump. 4. Remove one screw holding pump bracket to reservoir right side. 5.
Condenser Fan Motor on the air-cooled versions. The high Pressure Control is manual reset with the reset button at the on the rear of the machine and a monitoring Red LED on the Front Console Panel. 7.9 8.3 Water Regulating Valve (water-cooled models only). The water Regulating Valve function is to maintain a constant Compressor head pressure by regulating the amount of water flowing through the condenser, on water-cooled models. The valve operates through the refrigeration system high-pressure side.
At this point, the unit initiates the defrost cycle. The hot gas circulating into the evaporator serpentine causes a slight melting of the ice cubes which get released from their moulds. Once entirely released the ice cubes drop simultaneously into the ice storage bin below; in doing so they move apart from the evaporator bottom end of the plastic deflector.
10. The thermostatic expansion valve meters how much liquid refrigerant is to be allowed into the evaporator section of the refrigeration system. This is determined by the temperature of the TXV sensing bulb, located on the suction line manifold, at the outlet of the evaporator. If the bulb senses a warm suction line, more refrigerant is allowed into the evaporator, (common at the beginning of the freeze cycle) and when the temperature begins to fall, less refrigerant is allowed through.
Check operation of the freezing cycle: a) Compressor is operating. b) Water pump is operating as seen by water moving through the tygon tube up to the water distributor at the top of evaporator plate, where water is uniformly dispensed and cascades down over the egg-crate evaporator and drains back into the Sump Assembly for recirculation. 4.
