IV. Service Diagnosis A. Diagnostic Procedure This diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation, adequate water supply (minimum of 10 PSIG, maximum of 113 PSIG) and proper voltage per unit nameplate.
6) Refill /Low Water Safety – As ice is produced, the water level in the reservoir drops. As the water level drops, the upper and lower float switches open. First, the upper float switch opens. Nothing occurs at this time. When the lower float switch opens, refill begins.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components 1. Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. . The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
B. Service for Refrigerant Lines Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
5) Disconnect the vacuum pump and attach a refrigerant service cylinder to the high-side line. Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose. See the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
Page 41
d) Disconnect the 3 wiring connectors. e) Disconnect the wires from the high pressure switch and the drain valve. f) Remove the condensate hose from the hose bundle. g) Raise the insulation on the transport hose. Loosen the clamp and disconnect the transport hose from the evaporator.
D. Removal and Replacement of Compressor Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. Note: When replacing a compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install the new start capacitor and start relay supplied with the replacement compressor.
E. Removal and Replacement of Expansion Valve Sometimes moisture in the refrigeration circuit exceeds the drier capacity and freezes up at the expansion valve. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.

1. Upper Bearing Wear Check To ensure that the bearing inside the extruding head does not exceed the wear tolerance of .0", follow the instructions below. See Fig. 4. 1) Remove the refrigeration tray as outlined in "V.C. Removal of Refrigeration Tray." ) Remove the allen head cap screws and lift off the auger sleeve and remove the auger cap.
5) Place the new extruding head in place. 6) Replace the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed. 7) Replace the refrigeration tray in reverse order from which it was removed. 1. When reinstalling the refrigeration tray, make sure the drain hoses align properly over the drain tank in the rear of the machine.
4. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. 1) Move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position and drain all of the water from the evaporator.
16) Replace the lower front panel in its correct position. 17) Plug the icemaker back in. Move the control switch to the "ICE" position to start the automatic icemaking process. 5. Removal and Replacement of Mechanical Seal and Lower Housing 5a.
14) Replace the refrigeration tray in the reverse order of which it was removed. 1. When reinstalling the refrigeration tray, make sure the drain hoses align properly over the drain tank in the rear of the machine. See Fig. . .
G. Removal and Replacement of Fan Motor 1) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position. ) Unplug the icemaker from the electrical outlet. 3) Remove the lower cabinet stand panel. 4) Slide the refrigeration circuit tray forward as described below. See Fig. 3. a) Remove the screw and L-bracket at the base of the tray.
9) Remove the old water valve and install the new water valve. Remove the supply hose from the old water valve and place on the new water valve. 10) Replace the water valve bracket in its correct position. 11) Reconnect the wire terminals. 1) Reconnect the fitting nut on the water valve.
13) Open the water supply line shut-off valve. 14) Plug the icemaker back in and move the control switch to the "ICE" position. 15) Allow the icemaker to fill for two minutes. 16) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the icemaker from the electrical outlet.

7) Remove the four flat head screws and the gear motor. 8) Install the new motor. 9) Assemble the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed. 10) Plug the icemaker back in. Move the control switch to the "ICE" position to start the automatic ice making process.
A. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions - Water System 1. Cleaning Solution Dilute approximately 9.6 fl. oz. (0.9 l) of recommended cleaner, Hoshizaki "Scale Away" or "LIME-A-WAY" (Economics Laboratory, Inc.), with 1.6 gallons (6.0 l) of warm water. 2. Cleaning Procedure 1) Close the water supply line shut-off valve.
8) Allow the icemaker to sit for about 10 minutes before operation. If you placed a clamp on the reservoir hose in step 7, remove it before operation. 9) Plug the icemaker back in. Move the power switch to the "ON" position and replace the panels in their correct positions.
Page 56
8) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the upper front, top and left side panels. 9) Move the power switch to the "OFF" postion. Unplug the icemaker from the electrical outlet. 10) Disconnect the ice transport hose from the spout, and pour fresh water into the ice transport hose to rinse out the solution and fill the evaporator and reservoir.
Perform following the cleaning and sanitizing procedures for the water system. 1. Cleaning Solution Dilute approximately 9.6 fl. oz. (0.9 l) of recommended cleaner, Hoshizaki "Scale Away" or "LIME-A-WAY" (Economics Laboratory, Inc.), with 1.6 gallons (6.0 l) of warm water.

8) Remove the thumbscrews, spout cover, ice dispensing spout, and water dispensing nozzle. See Fig. 10. 9) Immerse the parts removed in steps 4 through 8 in the cleaning and sanitizing solutions for about 15 minutes each. 10) Rinse these parts thoroughly with clean water. 11) Thoroughly wipe the shutter located above the ice dispensing spout.
1-800-33-1940 in the USA. 1. Icemaker and Storage Bin • Hoshizaki recommends cleaning this icemaker at least twice a year. More frequent cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions. • The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the bin.
D. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions, it is sufficient to only move the control switch to the "OFF" position. When storing the icemaker for extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, turn the water off and drain out all water from the water lines and remove the ice from the bin.
