    B. Service Diagnosis WARNING • The appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by quali ed service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re. • Risk of electric shock. Control switch in "OFF" position does not de-energize all loads.
  • Page 19 4) Initial Harvest Cycle – The inlet water valve remains energized, contactor coil energizes to start the compressor (and fan motor on a remote condenser unit), and the hot gas valve energizes. The evaporator warms and the thermistor senses 48°F (9°C). The control board then receives the thermistor’s 3.9 k signal and turns operation of harvest over to the harvest timer.

    C. Control Board Check Before replacing a control board that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Alarm Reset: If CB is in alarm (beeping), press the “ALARM RESET” button on CB while CB is beeping.
