  • Page 13: Component Description

    Ice Level Sensor: An electronic "eye", it senses the presence of ice in the bottom of the ice discharge chute. Operates to turn the ice machine on and off automatically as the level of ice in the bin changes.
  • Page 14 NME650R COMPONENT DESCRIPTION: Control Box Contactor: A definite purpose contactor connecting the compressor and the remote condenser fan motor to the power supply. Circuit Board: The circuit board receives input signals from several sensors and tranlsates them to control the electrical power to the various loads.

    It is manually reset at the control and at the reset switch on the circuit board. The master switch is the manual control for the complete machine, but it is not a service disconnect. August 1993 Page 15 NME650R...
  • Page 16: Operation: Water

    NME650R OPERATION: Water Water enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes to the water reservoir which it enters through the float valve. The water them goes out the bottom of the reservoir tank to the bottom of the evaporator.

  • Page 20: Cleaning & Sanitizing

    NME650R CLEANING & SANITIZING A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business. In order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance. It is the USER’S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained.

    2. The ice machine senses water level by a probe located in the water reservoir. At least twice a year, the probe should be removed from the reservoir, and the tip wiped clean of mineral build-up.
  • Page 22 NME650R MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING In some areas the water supply to the icemaker will have a great deal of minerals in it, and that will result in an evaporator and auger becoming coated with these minerals, requiring a more frequent removal than twice per year. If in doubt...

  • Page 24: Service Diagnosis

    NME650R SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Being Produced A. Check: Voltage to the unit, restore it if there is none. Compare to the nameplate. B. Check: The master switch, switch ON if off. C. Check: The reset switch (high pressure): depress and release the switch. If the unit still does not start, check the high side pressure.
  • Page 25 If the bin empty light is still OFF, check the circuit board. 1. Unplug "opto trans" and "LED" connectors from the circuit board. 2. Plug "opto trans" and "LED" connectors from the Scotsman Electronic Control Tester Model NM1 into the circuit board (see page 36).
  • Page 26 NME650R SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Being Produced STATUS: GEARMOTOR OPERATES, COMPRESSOR DOES NOT A. Check the pump down control switch. 1. This pressure switch opens at 15 psig, and closes at 30 psig. If open check the low side pressure, if after running the machine the switch opens at a pressure higher than 18 psig, replace the switch.
  • Page 27 TXV. HOWEVER, the condensing temperature will have a definite bearing on this. A unit with a marginal charge in summer, will be undercharged when the outside air temperature drops. The only correct way to charge this unit is to weigh in the nameplate charge. August 1993 Page 27 NME650R...
  • Page 28: Removal And Replacement

    NME650R REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT: Water Reservoir & Bin Controls WATER RESERVOIR 1. Shut off the water supply to the icemaker. 2. Remove front panel and reservoir cover. 3. To remove float only, disconnect water inlet compression fitting at reservoir inlet, push in on locking tab, pull float up and out of the reservoir.
  • Page 29 7. Reverse to reassemble: specific tools and materials are required to install properly. a. Add food grade grease such as Scotsman part number 19-0569-01 to the seal area before installing on the auger. b. Check the seal to shaft areas for cuts, or rough spots: none are permitted.
  • Page 30 Scrub the auger with ice machine cleaner and hot water. //////////////////////////////WARNING//////////////////////////////// Ice machine cleaner is an acid. Handle it with extreme care, keep out of the reach of children. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// b. The water seal area. Because the auger has been removed, the water seal will have to be replaced.
  • Page 31 4. Place a small bead of food grade silastic sealant (such as 732 RTV or Scotsman part number 19-0529-01) on the area of the auger where the water seal is to be mounted.
  • Page 32 NME650R REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT: Evaporator To Replace the Evaporator: (Assuming all the steps for removal of the thrust bearing, breaker, auger, and water seal have been performed.) 1. Discharge and recover the refrigerant from the ice maker. 2. Unsweat the refrigerant connections: a) At the thermostatic expansion valve outlet.
  • Page 33 E) After the case is together, and the locating pins are secure in both ends, replace all cap screws. 4. Bench test the gearmotor, check for oil leaks, noise, and amp draw. August 1993 Page 33 NME650R...

    Scotsman also recommends that, at the time of initial start up, gauges not be used. If gauges must be used, don’t always check the high side pressure.
