B. Sequence of Operation The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, the red "POWER OK" LED and the green "BC CLOSED" LED on the control board come on (If the yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on, the unit will not start. In this case clear ice away from the bin control actuator).
5. Normal Harvest Cycle LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. Comp, FMR, and HGV remain energized and WV opens. PM stops. As the evaporator warms, the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C). The control board then receives the thermistor's 3.9 kΩ signal and starts the harvest timer. When the harvest timer completes its countdown, the harvest cycle is complete.
C. Control Board • A Hoshizaki exclusive solid-state control is employed in KMD-850MAH, KMD-850MWH, and KMD-850MRH Modular Crescent Cubers. • All models are pretested and factory-adjusted. CAUTION 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. 2. The control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to failure due to static discharge. It is especially important to touch the metal part of the unit before handling or replacing the board.

2. Features a) Maximum Water Supply Period – 6 minutes The inlet water valve will be open during harvest for 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 50 seconds, whichever is shorter. b) Harvest Backup Timer and Freeze Timer The harvest backup timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the harvest cycle takes more than 20 minutes to complete.
f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties The red LED indicates proper control voltage and will remain on unless a control voltage problem occurs. At startup a 5 second delay occurs while the board conducts an internal timer check. A beep occurs when the control switch is moved to the "ICE" position. The green LEDs 1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the table below.
However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the flush provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning. Before changing this setting, call the Hoshizaki Technical Support Department at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a longer setting will decrease 24 hour production.
c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) CAUTION Do not adjust. Leave in the factory default position; otherwise, the drain valve and water valve will not operate at pump out. When a freeze cycle is completed and a pump out is called for, the pump motor stops for 2 seconds.
e) S4 Dip Switch 7 & 8 Factory set for optimum performance. Do not adjust. f) Freeze Timer (S4 dip switch 9 & 10) CAUTION Adjust to proper specification, or the unit may not operate correctly. The freeze timer setting determines the maximum allowed freeze time to prevent possible freeze-up issues.
3) The "OUTPUT TEST" button provides a relay sequence test. Make sure the control switch is in the "ICE" position, then press the "OUTPUT TEST" button. The correct lighting sequence should be 1, 4, 3, 2. Some components (e.g., the compressor) will cycle during the test.

6) Remove the control box cover. 7) Disconnect the black float switch connector from the K5 connector on the control board. 8) Check for continuity across the float switch leads. With the water tank empty, the float switch should be open. If open, continue to step 9. If closed, follow the steps in "II. E.2.
8) Wipe down the float switch assembly's housing, shaft, float, and retainer rod and clean the inside of the rubber boot and hose with a mixture of 1 part of Hoshizaki "Scale Away" 25 parts of warm water. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water.
F. Bin Control This machine uses a lever-actuated proximity switch (mechanical bin control) to control the ice level in the storage bin. No adjustment is required. 1. Explanation of Operation The bin control is connected to the red K4 connector on the control board. When the bin control is calling for ice (proximity switch closed;...
IV. Service Diagnosis A. 10-Minute Diagnostic Procedure The 10 minute check out procedure is basically a sequence check which can be used at unit start-up or for system diagnosis. Using this check out procedure will allow you to diagnose electrical system and component failures in approximately 10 minutes under normal operating conditions of 70°F (21°C) or warmer air and 50°F (10°C) or warmer water temperatures.
5) Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on. Compressor (and fan motor on a remote air-cooled unit) remains energized, pump motor, (liquid line valve if applicable), and fan motor (self-contained air-cooled unit) energize. The inlet water valve and hot gas valve de- energize.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components IMPORTANT 1. Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. 2. 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.
For remote air-cooled models, see the rating label inside the icemaker. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used. 6) A liquid charge is recommended for charging an R-404A system. Invert the service cylinder and place it on scales.
B. Removal and Replacement of Compressor IMPORTANT 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.
C. Removal and Replacement of Expansion Valve IMPORTANT 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.
D. Removal and Replacement of Hot Gas Valve or Liquid Line Valve IMPORTANT 1. Always use a copper tube of the same diameter and length when replacing the hot gas lines; otherwise the performance may be reduced. 2. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
E. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repairs or replacement have been made. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels and the front and top insulation.
4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water supply line drain valve. 5) Open the water regulating valve by using a screwdriver to pry up on the spring retainer underneath the spring. While holding the valve open, blow out the condenser using the compressed air or carbon dioxide supply until water stops coming out.
H. Removal and Replacement of Headmaster (Condensing Pressure Regulator - C.P.R.) - Remote Air-Cooled Model Only IMPORTANT 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.
I. Removal and Replacement of Thermistor IMPORTANT 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. 2. Always use the recommended sealant (high thermal conductive type), Model KE4560RTV manufactured by SHINETSU SILICONE, Part Code 60Y000-11, or Part Code 4A0683-01 or equivalent. 3. Always use the recommended foam insulation (non-absorbent type) or equivalent.
J. Removal and Replacement of Fan Motor Note: When replacing a fan motor with defective winding, it is recommended that a new capacitor be installed. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels. 3) Remove the junction box cover from the remote condenser unit (remote air-cooled model).
L. Removal and Replacement of Pump Motor 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the front panel. Remove the insulation panel. Remove cube guide B, then remove cube guide A. Remove the overflow cap, overflow pipe, and water shield. See Fig.
M. Removal and Replacement of Bin Control 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the front panel and top panel. 3) Remove the control box cover. 4) Disconnect the bin control connector from the bin control wire harness. The wire harness is connected to the K4 connector on the board.
Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after any cleaning or maintenance is done to the equipment. A. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions Hoshizaki recommends cleaning this icemaker at least once a year. More frequent cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions. WARNING 1.
1. Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute 13.5 fl. oz. (400 ml) of Hoshizaki "Scale Away" with 2.5 gal. (9.5 l) of warm water. 2) Remove all ice from the evaporator and the storage bin. Note: To remove cubes on the evaporator, turn off the power supply and turn it back on after 3 minutes.
9) Fully open the cleaning valve on the left side wall of the machine compartment. 10) Move the control switch on the control box to the "WASH" position. Replace the insulation panel and the front panel in their correct positions. 11) Turn on the power supply to start the washing process.
3) Pour the sanitizing solution into the water tank. 4) Replace the insulation panel and the front panel in their correct positions. Note: Make sure that the control switch is in the "WASH" position and the cleaning valve is open. 5) Turn on the power supply to start the sanitizing process.
3. Air Filters (air-cooled model only) Plastic mesh air filters remove dirt and dust from the air, and keep the condenser from getting clogged. As the filters get clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be reduced. Check the filters at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filters.
