Problem Likely Cause Probable Solution
Long freeze cycle Dirty air lters Clean lters
Dirty condenser Clean condenser
Hot ambient Reduce room air temperature
Water leak Check purge valve, check curtain
Water inlet valve leaks through Check inlet valve
Low on refrigerant Add refrigerant, if cycle time drops, check
for leak
Incorrect superheat Check evaporator superheat, if
signicantly low or high, replace TXV
Fan(s) cycle on and off Check pressures fans cycle at. Replace
fan pressure switch if too low
Long Harvest Cycle Dirty evaporator De-scale water system
No harvest assist Check harvest assist solenoid
Bridge thickness too big Check and adjust bridge thickness
Machine in very cool ambient Increase room temperature
False bin full signal Ice jammed in between curtain and sump Clear ice away
Curtain does not close correctly Check curtain for proper swing
Makes Excessive Noise - Water cooled
Problem Likely Cause Probable Solution
Compressor vibrates Mounting bolts loose Tighten bolts
Water pump vibrates Pump bearings worn Replace pump
Panels vibrate Mounting screws loose Tighten screws
Low Ice Making Capacity - Water Cooled
